Samsara: A Data Moat The Market Is Mispricing After The 'SaaS Apocalypse'
Summary Samsara (IOT) is down ~50% from its all-time high on indiscriminate "SaaS Apocalypse" multiple compression, despite Q4 FY26 being the best print in its public-company life. The seat-compression narrative driving the SaaS de-rating doesn't apply here: Samsara sells to enterprise industrial operators on ROI, not to white-collar knowledge workers on seat counts. The hardware install base creates physical switching costs that pure-cloud competitors can't easily replicate, and the agentic AI layer is additive to the revenue model rather than displacing it. Valuation work points to a base case of ~$52 (+68%) on 11x EV/FY28E revenue, anchored by a catalyst stack into Q1 FY27 earnings (May 28) and the Beyond 2026 conference. Bear case ~$24 (-21%) if SaaS de-rating continues and the company doesn't beat consensus. Risk/reward at the base case is roughly 3.2:1. Read the full article on Seeking Alpha
