1858 ET - Samsara posted higher-than-expected revenue and profit in its fiscal 3Q, but its shares have slipped in recent trading as its outlook failed to impress investors. "The fourth quarter is a big enterprise quarter for us," CEO Sanjit Biswas says in an interview, "that makes it lumpy and a little harder to predict." Unpredictability, combined with volatility leading up to and after last month's election, led the company to issue a conservative 4Q outlook, he says. Biswas adds that he isn't immediately concerned by the lower stock price, given the company's recent AI launches and future plans. "We just try to stay focused on the business." Shares end Friday's regular session 5.2% lower, at $52.27. (connor.hart@wsj.com)
