Samsara Q2 revenue jumps 30% as transportation, Mexico fuel growth
Samsara reported $508.4M in Q2 FY2027 revenue, up 30% YoY, driven by transportation and Mexico fleet growth with ARR hitting $2.125B. This is a freight/fleet telematics story with no direct marketplace seller impact.
Samsara's expansion reflects broader AI adoption in physical logistics, but the seller-facing impact is indirect and long-term — not a near-term operational concern for marketplace brands or agencies.
Samsara's growth signals continued investment in connected fleet tech, which could compress 3PL and carrier costs over time — but that's a 2-3 year downstream effect. No action needed for marketplace sellers or agencies today.

Samsara reported second-quarter fiscal 2027 revenue of $508. 4 million, up 30% year over year, as the connected-operations technology provider continued expanding among large customers and saw accelerating growth in transportation and Mexico. San Francisco-based Samsara (NYSE: IOT) said Thursday that annual recurring revenue reached $2.
125 billion for the quarter ended Aug. 1, also increasing 30% from a year earlier. Net new ARR totaled $134. 1 million, up 28%. “Samsara delivered another quarter of durable and efficient growth, crossing $2.
1 billion in ARR with 30% year-over-year growth for the third consecutive quarter,” co-founder and CEO Sanjit Biswas said during an earnings call with analysts after the market closed.
Biswas said large customers continue to drive the company’s momentum, while adoption of some of Samsara’s latest artificial intelligence features has increased more than fourfold during the past two months. window. googletag = window. googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag. cmd. push(function() {var gptSlot = googletag.

The company’s transportation business showed strengthening momentum during the quarter. Transportation accounted for Samsara’s second-highest mix of net new annual contract value, behind field services, while year-over-year growth in transportation accelerated sequentially for the third consecutive quarter.
Public-sector business also strengthened, posting its second-highest net new ACV mix on record. Management said the opportunity in trucking remains substantial. During the earnings call, Samsara executives estimated that about 50% of commercial vehicles in North America remain unconnected, while 85% do not have an AI dash camera.
Mexico business accelerates Mexico was another area of accelerating growth. The company said year-over-year net new annual contract value growth in Mexico accelerated for the second consecutive quarter, giving the country its highest share of net new ACV in five quarters.
Security appears to be one factor driving adoption of Samsara’s technology among Mexican fleets. “Same thing down in Mexico. We’ve invested heavily in security. That’s a very key use case for them,” Biswas said, pointing to features such as panic buttons and vehicle immobilizers. window. googletag = window. googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag. cmd.

Monterrey, Mexico-based Trayecto is the biggest freight transportation company in the country, with more than 4,000 trucks, 10,000 trailers and 4,000 drivers. Large customers propel Samsara Much of Samsara’s growth is coming from larger enterprises expanding their use of the company’s platform.
Samsara finished the quarter with 3,605 customers generating more than $100,000 in ARR, after adding a quarterly record 242. Those customers accounted for $1. 3 billion in ARR, up 38% year over year, and now represent 63% of companywide ARR, compared with 59% a year earlier.
The company also ended the quarter with 210 customers generating more than $1 million in ARR, adding a record 20 during the period. ARR from those customers surpassed $500 million and grew more than 50% year over year for the third consecutive quarter. window. googletag = window. googletag || {cmd: []}; googletag. cmd.

If monitoring freight costs, note that fleet AI adoption is accelerating (AI dash cam penetration still only 15%) — check your 3PL contracts annually for tech surcharges.
