Did IOT Beat Earnings? Q1 2026 Results
Samsara kicked off fiscal 2026 with a notably strong quarter, posting revenue of $366.88 million, up 30.7% year over year and ahead of the $351.44 million analysts had expected, while non-GAAP diluted EPS of $0.11 came in 91.64% above the $0.06 consensus estimate. The standout driver behind the beat was a dramatic expansion in profitability, with non-GAAP operating income reaching $51.07 million compared to just $6.16 million a year ago, pushing non-GAAP operating margin to 14% from 2%. Annual Recurring Revenue climbed to $1.54 billion, also up 31% year over year, underpinned by 2,638 customers spending over $100,000, a cohort that grew 35%. Free cash flow reached $45.69 million at a 12% margin, roughly doubling from the prior year. Looking ahead, Samsara guided Q2 revenue to $371 million to $373 million and full-year FY2026 revenue to approximately $1.55 billion, both implying 24% growth, with full-year non-GAAP EPS of $0.39 to $0.41.
