The market seems to be waking back up to that story, with a 7 day share price return of 12.25% and 90 day share price return of 13.18% even as 1 year total shareholder return is still negative. This suggests renewed momentum after a volatile stretch.
If Samsara’s move has you thinking about where else growth and execution might line up, this could be a good moment to explore high growth tech and AI stocks.
Yet with shares now trading just below Wall Street’s targets and profits finally turning positive, is Samsara still flying under the radar as a growth at a reasonable price story, or is the market already baking in its next leg of expansion?
With the most popular narrative placing Samsara’s fair value above the recent 43.79 dollars close, the spotlight shifts to what is driving that optimism.
