    SAN DIEGO — Connected fleet technology supplier Samsara highlighted the latest expansion of its artificial intelligence-powered safety platform at American Trucking Associations’ 2025 Management Conference & Exhibition.

    During an Oct. 26 press conference, Samsara outlined its recently launched AI tools that provide alerts on adverse weather and automate driver coaching to help fleets reduce risk and prevent crashes.

    “The reason this matters — and is also so important for our customers — is crashes are going up and the cost of crashes is going up,” said Johan Land, Samsara’s senior vice president of engineering and head of safety and AI.

    One of Samsara’s new features is designed to help fleets better navigate weather conditions, which play a role in 1 in out of 5 crashes, he said.

    “It’s up there with speeding, mobile phone [usage], drowsiness and following distance,” Land said. “It’s one of the major contributors to accidents.”

    The company’s new Weather Intelligence feature enables fleets to track weather and road risks in real time by combining radar data with information sourced directly from Samsara’s own network of AI dashcams.

    The Samsara platform now displays National Weather Service alerts and live weather overlays, including radar, wind speed and thunderstorm risk directly into the map.

    Fleet managers can access live dashcam footage and images from their vehicles in areas affected by weather, as well as from other nearby vehicles equipped with Samsara dashcams via its StreetSense capability.

    They can then send proactive warnings to drivers in the path of severe weather events to ensure they are aware of the risk.

    Samsara also is using AI and automation to help fleet operators coach, train and recognize their drivers at scale without overburdening their safety teams.

    The Automated Risk Assessment feature uses AI to automatically analyze and prioritize safety-related events based on factors such as frequency, severity, trip conditions and driver history.

    The system sends lower priority events to drivers for self review, while more serious events are sent directly to fleet managers, who can then focus their time on coaching their riskiest drivers.

    Samsara customer Jordan Carriers, for instance, has a single safety manager overseeing and coaching 1,000 drivers with the help of AI and automation, Land said.

    “That’s the future of this type of AI training,” he said. “Let’s analyze everything, let AI automatically coach and then focus where it matters.”

    The platform’s Performance Overview dashboard provides fleet managers information not only on safety risks, but also positive driver behavior so they can recognize and reward their top performers.

    Samsara previewed its expanded AI safety capabilities at its Beyond 2025 user conference, also held in San Diego back in June.

  • Assessing TKO Group Holdings After a 63.6% Surge and New Media Rights Deals

    Assessing TKO Group Holdings After a 63.6% Surge and New Media Rights Deals

    If you’re holding TKO Group Holdings stock or considering it for your portfolio, you may be facing a classic investor’s dilemma: whether to hold, buy more, or think about taking some chips off the table after that impressive run. Over the past year, TKO Group Holdings has risen by 63.6%, which is a notably strong performance compared to most stocks. Even after accounting for a recent 6.1% drop over the past month, the stock remains up 30.9% year-to-date. This signals plenty of interest and perhaps some changing perceptions about its future prospects.

    What has driven these movements? Recent headlines have focused on the group’s ongoing integration of major sports and entertainment properties, along with strategic partnerships that have caught investor attention. Some of the momentum earlier in the year can be traced to enthusiasm around new media rights deals and expansion into international markets, highlighting TKO’s global ambitions. Not every news cycle has been a net positive, though. Recent concerns about regulatory uncertainties and higher-than-average volatility appear to have tempered sentiment and may explain the latest dip.

    With all that activity in mind, let’s look at the numbers. Using the valuation score, a straightforward method that adds one point for each of six checks passed, TKO Group Holdings currently scores 0 out of 6. At first glance, that result may seem concerning, but the story is rarely so straightforward. Next, we’ll examine how different valuation approaches compare to TKO’s current price and explore a smarter way to understand what the market may be overlooking.

    TKO Group Holdings scores just 0/6 on our valuation checks. See what other red flags we found in the full valuation breakdown.

    The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model is a popular valuation method that forecasts a company’s future cash flows and discounts them back to today’s value in dollars. By doing this, investors can estimate what a business is intrinsically worth right now, based on its ability to generate cash in the future.

    For TKO Group Holdings, the latest reported Free Cash Flow stands at $721.8 million. Analyst estimates project robust growth in the coming years, with free cash flow expected to reach $1.99 billion by 2029. Estimates for the next five years are based on analyst predictions, while projections beyond that use extrapolation. This methodology combines analysts’ near-term insights with longer-term industry assumptions to provide a balanced outlook.
