What is Samsara's revenue?

Samsara reported approximately $1.5 billion in revenue for fiscal 2026, ended January 31, 2026.

Sanjit Biswas and John Bicket founded Samsara in 2015 after leaving Cisco, where they had run Meraki following its $1.2 billion acquisition in 2012. Their thesis was that the cloud-managed model they had built for networking could be applied to physical operations, where fleets and equipment generated vast amounts of data that went uncollected and unused.

The company's entry market was commercial fleet management, where the federal electronic logging device mandate created a forcing event for telematics adoption. Samsara built proprietary hardware, including telematics gateways and AI dash cams, paired with a cloud platform, and grew rapidly as fleets digitized.

The platform expanded beyond trucking into a general connected operations system covering video-based safety, equipment monitoring, site visibility, and workflow tools, broadening its addressable market to nearly every industry that operates physical assets.

Samsara raised roughly $930 million in venture capital before going public in December 2021 at a valuation near $11.5 billion. The stock declined sharply in the 2022 software correction along with its IPO cohort, but the business itself grew steadily, reaching approximately $1.5 billion in fiscal 2026 revenue while expanding internationally and building out its AI capabilities.

Samsara's public record is relatively clean. Its most notable dispute was patent litigation with competitor Motive, resolved largely in Samsara's favor including a significant 2024 ruling. The broader scrutiny it shares with the fleet telematics industry concerns worker monitoring: driver-facing cameras and tracking systems raise privacy questions that apply to the product category generally, though no disqualifying regulatory or legal findings are attached to Samsara specifically.
