Samsara Stock Moves Up Ahead of Earnings, Volatility May Hit Next Week

New York, May 30, 2026, 11:01 (EDT)

Samsara finished Friday at $34.99, gaining 10.83%. Shares ended the Memorial Day-shortened week up roughly 12%.
Samsara will release its fiscal first-quarter earnings after the U.S. market closes on June 4.
Bloomberg data cited by Investing.com shows options pricing for a possible 13% swing on the report.

Samsara Inc. shares rose 10.8% on Friday, wrapping up about a 12% gain in this holiday-shortened week. Investors were getting in before the connected-operations software company’s fiscal first-quarter report set for next Thursday.

Timing is key here. U.S. markets were shut Saturday after a four-day trading week. The New York Stock Exchange closed for Memorial Day on Monday. On normal days, the floor runs from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Eastern.

Samsara will post earnings after markets close on June 4, with a webcast set for 5 p.m. Eastern. The results may show if investors still want to pay a premium for growth in software aimed at physical operations like fleets, equipment, logistics, and field work. That’s a contrast with office software, which is under more pressure from artificial intelligence.

The stock finished Friday at $34.99, moving between $31.94 and $35.20 through the day with about 8.8 million shares traded. That’s up from $31.15 at last Wednesday’s close, for a gain of about 12% for the week.

Stocks rallied alongside a firmer tape. The S&P 500 and Nasdaq both closed at record highs Friday, with the S&P 500 up 1.43% for the week and the Nasdaq up 2.39%. The software services index jumped over 6%, according to Reuters. “The rally has really been driven by earnings,” Wells Fargo’s Ohsung Kwon told Reuters. Reuters

Samsara laid out a simple plan. Back in March, the company told investors it expects fiscal Q1 revenue between $454 million and $456 million, along with non-GAAP diluted earnings of 12 to 13 cents per share. Looking ahead to fiscal 2027, Samsara sees revenue ranging from $1.965 billion to $1.975 billion.

Samsara’s annual recurring revenue, or ARR, rose 30% over last year to $1.89 billion at the end of fiscal 2026. Fourth-quarter revenue came in at $444.3 million, up 28%. CEO Sanjit Biswas described the year as “durable and efficient growth.” SEC

Samsara put out a release at the end of the week, but it wasn’t tied to earnings. The company said on May 28 it took the top spot on 23 of G2’s Summer 2026 grid reports, in areas like fleet management, asset tracking, and fleet maintenance. “Seven consecutive quarters at No. 1 isn’t just a streak—it’s a signal,” Chief Marketing Officer Meagen Eisenberg said.

Samsara is in a busy fleet and telematics market, with Motive, Lytx, and Geotab all showing up as competitors on G2. Telematics covers the use of sensors, GPS, and software to track vehicles, drivers, and gear, usually live.

Samsara traders may see bigger swings this week. Options-implied move calls for a 13% price move around the company’s June 4 report, based on options data from Bloomberg and quoted by Investing.com.

There’s a risk the recent stock rally has raised the bar before earnings hit. If Samsara misses on revenue growth, billings, ARR momentum or guidance for the year, Friday’s jump could give back some ground fast—especially with questions about whether software stocks have gotten ahead of themselves. In its own filings, Samsara calls out risks around retaining customers, longer sales cycles, competitive pressure, demand for connected-operations products, and macro issues like inflation, trade rules and supply costs.
