Share count rising — dilution

+13.5% over 4y

The company has issued more shares over this period, which dilutes each existing shareholder’s stake.

Diluted shares outstanding: 505.5M (2022) → 573.5M (2026)

Samsara makes software that helps companies manage large fleets of trucks, buses, and other vehicles. It connects physical equipment — like trucks, forklifts, and industrial machines — to the internet using sensors and cameras, then shows all that data in one dashboard. Its main customers are transportation, logistics, construction, and utilities companies that need to track hundreds or thousands of vehicles and workers at once.

Samsara charges customers a recurring subscription fee to use its platform, which gives the company predictable revenue that grows as customers add more vehicles or sensors. It operates primarily in North America and generated roughly $1.2 billion in annual revenue, putting it among the larger players in the fleet management software space. Its moat comes from how deeply its software gets embedded into a customer's daily operations, making it costly and disruptive to switch. The key growth driver is expanding into larger enterprise customers and adding new product lines like worker safety tools, though the company is not yet consistently profitable.

Strong grower

Samsara is growing revenue at 28% year-over-year. The Winston Score penalises unprofitable companies, but revenue at this pace tells a different story — this is a company still in "build mode."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
