THE MIDDAY TRADE
Changing the Game
According to Bank of America (BAC), Samsara (IOT) is changing the roadway safety game by using AI. The company produces AI-enabled dashcam technology, and the bank thinks it is about to take off.
The technology is capable of providing drivers with real-time assistance, including letting them know when they are following a car too closely or if they are showing signs of distraction.
Big Announcements Coming
Analyst Matt Bullock is confident in strong consumer demand for its products and positive feedback from industry insiders. According to Bullock, Samsara’s products are unique and set themselves apart in a crowded industry.
The company is holding its customer conference and analyst day next week, where it is expected to announce new products. These announcements could include how it intends to utilize generative AI in its products.
Bullock believes these new products could be a catalyst for long-term growth.
Beating Out the Competition
The stock is down over 6% YTD and 28% in the last month. However, Bullock holds a buy rating with a $37 price target, a 25% upside from Thursday’s close.
He is bullish on Samsara’s wide-ranging products, including those outside of the automotive industry. According to the analyst, it spends more on R&D than its competitors and has more customers to study data from.
Given its down month, investors may be able to acquire the stock at a low valuation prior to its upcoming meeting.

SURVEY THE STREET
The price of bitcoin is sliding, falling to $60,666 this morning — its lowest level in more than a month.
Bitcoin hit an all-time high of ~$74,000 in March. However, we’ve seen $1.2 billion of outflows from crypto ETFs since the most recent FOMC meeting.
Analysts believe that the Fed’s unwillingness to cut rates is weighing on sentiment for crypto, as tighter monetary conditions make investors more risk-averse.
