IOT Stock: How To Trade Samsara Ahead Of Its Earnings?
CHONGQING, CHINA - JUNE 01: In this photo illustration, the logo of Samsara Inc. is displayed on a ... More smartphone screen, with the company's latest stock market chart visible in the background, reflecting recent trading activity and investor sentiment, on June 01, 2025, in Chongqing, China. (Photo Illustration by) Samsara (NYSE:IOT), a cloud-based IoT firm, is set to report its earnings on Thursday, June 5, 2025. For traders driven by events, analyzing how the stock has historically behaved in response to earnings announcements can be quite enlightening. Since 2022, Samsara has recorded a positive one-day return 62% of the time after results are released, with a median increase of 14.7% and a maximum single-day positive return of 27.9%. While the actual results against consensus will ultimately dictate the outcome, utilizing these historical trends could potentially tilt the odds in your favor. Two primary strategies exist: you can either comprehend the historical probabilities and place your position prior to the earnings release, or analyze the relationship between immediate and medium-term returns after the earnings are published to inform your subsequent actions. According to current consensus estimates, analysts anticipate earnings of $0.06 per share on revenues of $351 million. This contrasts with earnings of $0.03 per share on revenues of $281 million in the same quarter last year. From a fundamentals standpoint, Samsara currently possesses a market capitalization of $26 billion. Over the past twelve months, the company has generated $1.2 billion in revenue. However, it recorded an operating loss of $185 million and a net loss of $155 million during that timeframe. Nonetheless, if you're looking for upside with less volatility than individual stocks, the Trefis High Quality portfolio offers an alternative—having outperformed the S&P 500 and delivered returns exceeding 91% since its establishment. Additionally, see – Merck Stock's Ticking Keytruda Time Bomb See earnings reaction history of all stocks Here are some insights regarding one-day (1D) post-earnings returns: Further data on the observed 5-Day (5D) and 21-Day (21D) returns post earnings are compiled along with the statistics in the table below. IOT 1D, 5D, and 21D Post Earnings Return A relatively less risky strategy (though not effective if the correlation is low) involves examining the correlation between short-term and medium-term returns after earnings, identifying a pair with the highest correlation, and executing the corresponding trade. For instance, if the 1D and 5D show the strongest correlation, a trader may take a "long" position for the next 5 days if the 1D post-earnings return is positive. Below is some correlation data based on 5-year and 3-year (more recent) history. Note that the correlation 1D_5D refers to the relationship between 1D post-earnings returns and the following 5D returns. IOT Correlation Between 1D, 5D and 21D Historical Returns Occasionally, peer performance can affect post-earnings stock reactions. In fact, the pricing may begin prior to the earnings announcement. Below is some historical data on the previous post-earnings performance of Samsara stock compared to the stock performance of peers that reported earnings just before it. For a fair comparison, peer stock returns are also represented by post-earnings one-day (1D) returns. IOT Correlation With Peer Earnings Learn more about Trefis RV strategy that has outperformed its all-cap stocks benchmark (a combination of all 3: the S&P 500, S&P mid-cap, and Russell 2000), delivering robust returns for investors.

I'm a business immigration lawyer. The current system is designed to get employers to say, 'Forget it.'
This as-told-to essay is based on a transcribed conversation in mid-May with 44-year-old Jason Finkelman, a business immigration lawyer in Austin. The following has been edited for length and clarity. These days, I feel like I'm half lawyer, half therapist for my clients. I help foreign nationals with employment and family immigration. On the employment side, I'm working with clients across a range of industries, including tech, semiconductor, energy, oil and gas, research, and video gaming. Many of these are international entrepreneurs or investors looking to get a visa to start a business in the US. There is an unfounded fear among so many people right now about being deported. I'm having calls with foreign workers, many of whom have highly advanced degrees and are being sponsored by Fortune 500 companies and top startups, including some of the biggest names in Silicon Valley, concerned about being deported for simply traveling abroad for work. I'm even having calls with naturalized US citizens and people with green cards who have lived their lives for decades in this country without ever having committed a crime, or even received a parking ticket, but are seriously anxious about making routine international travel plans. I have to keep reminding people that unless you have committed a major crime, it is extremely unlikely you'll be detained or removed from the US, no matter what status you are in, and no matter what you are hearing and seeing in the news. I tell clients to "live your life." But it's not one or two people calling. It's dozens. The Trump administration is bringing stricter scrutiny to visa applications The Trump administration is picking up where it left off, making sure to be as strict as possible in adjudicating legal immigration to protect American jobs. It means stricter scrutiny of work visa applications and even routine travel. When Joe Biden was president, we would get a Request for Evidence when there was something that was objectively missing from the visa application. The current administration is scrutinizing the subjective parts of an application to an extremely high degree. H-1B visas are a classic example. In my experience, the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services officer will question whether the job being offered to the foreign national really requires a bachelor's degree or whether the candidate's education really prepared them for the position. I've gotten notices essentially saying a cybersecurity analyst role might not require a degree, or questioning whether a software engineer really needs a bachelor's. We respond with letters from industry experts and even information from government websites to show that these jobs indeed require degrees. With the increased scrutiny, I also want to include in the visa petition proof that the applicant's sponsoring company really exists: an office floor plan and photographs of the signage and the people at their desks. My clients look at me like, "You're kidding." I'm not, and I'm sorry. This is kind of ridiculous, but it's going to take you 30 seconds to snap some pictures around the office and send them to me, as opposed to getting a Request for Evidence when the USCIS officer says, "No, this isn't a real company. Where is this person really going to work?" So, we play this game. I believe it's designed to frustrate US employers into giving up. Employers need the most skilled worker, no matter who that person is. Sometimes, they happen to be a foreign worker. But there's so much effort and so many hoops to jump through that employers say, "Forget it, let's just hire an American worker." I'm advising visa holders to be overly cautious when traveling The way I advise my clients lately in preparation for international travel, including work-related trips, is very different. Six months ago, if a client had a valid work visa — say an H-1B, L-1, or O-1 — I'd say, "Maybe you get some verbal questions from the Customs and Border Protection officer, but OK. You can prove that you work. You're done." I've started seeing border officers apply extreme scrutiny to foreign nationals reentering the country with work visas. They'll ask questions like, "Is there actually a job waiting for you? Is this a real company? Are you sure you're going to go back home after?" In this environment where Customs and Border Protection officers are being stricter with foreign nationals traveling in, I'm advising all my clients to carry significant documentation with them to prove that they're currently employed and that they have this nonimmigrant intent to return to their home country. They should carry with them not only their visa but also three recent paycheck stubs to show they're employed. I would also travel with a letter from their employer that says, "This person took a vacation or is traveling for business for a couple of weeks, and we expect them back in the office on this date." Then, they need proof that they have a life back in the country they intend to return to, such as a property deed or lease, bank statements, or tax returns. You want to be able to say to that border officer, "Look, I'm not playing any games. I'm employed, here's what I do. Here's my diploma." A mountain of evidence to get back in is prudent practice. Not everybody crossing over is being scrutinized to this level, but we're seeing that happen more frequently, so better to be safe than sorry. Any person entering the United States needs to be subject to a reasonable amount of scrutiny. I get that there are bad actors and fraud that goes on. But, it's getting to a point now where these roadblocks are making it significantly more difficult for foreign professionals to come into this country. More importantly, it's making it harder for US employers to hire the best global talent they need, to innovate and grow their business, and to ultimately benefit our country as a whole. "The Trump Administration remains committed to protecting national security and American workers. USCIS is enhancing screening and vetting to comply with President Trump's Executive Orders. These efforts will aid the prosecution of program violators and ensure American workers aren't overlooked or replaced in the process. This is what the American people voted for, and DHS is delivering on it." A spokesperson for Customs and Border Protection told Business Insider in a statement: "Under the leadership of the Trump Administration, we have seen a sharp decline in illegal immigration. This reduction has allowed our law enforcement personnel to get back to doing law enforcement work, like conducting thorough vetting and interviews. Lawful travelers have nothing to fear from these measures, which are designed to protect our nation's security. However, those intending to enter the US with fraudulent purposes or malicious intent are offered the following advice: Don't even try. If statutes or visa terms are violated, travelers may be subject to detention and removal. A visa is a privilege, not a right, and only those who respect our laws and follow the proper procedures will be welcomed."
