Toast holds the cleaner structural position, with the lead spread across profitability and valuation. Samsara still has the edge on stability, which keeps the comparison from looking entirely one-sided. The market setup is currently leaning toward Samsara, which does not confirm the structural lead. That leaves a split case: the structural lead stays with Toast, but the market is not currently confirming it.
The comparison is based on similar long-term financial trajectories, not sector labels. Both peer scores are relative to the Russell 1000 universe, making them directly comparable.
The lead is spread across profitability and valuation, rather than sitting in one isolated gap. The overall score gap is 27 points in favour of Toast, Inc..
Both operate in: Software - Infrastructure
This comparison is based on industry proximity, not on functional trajectory similarity. IOT and TOST share the same industry classification.

Score differences across key dimensions.
Left means cheaper relative valuation. Higher means stronger structure.
Toast, Inc. looks stronger on relative valuation, while the broader price setup remains mixed.
Valuation position uses peer-relative PE percentile (idx_pct_pe) where available.

AssetNext scores reflect each company's structural position within its functional peer group — not a ranking against all stocks simultaneously. Peers are identified by similarity across eight financial dimensions, including revenue growth trajectory, margin structure, capital intensity, and earnings stability. A score of 75 means the company ranks in the top quartile within its own peer group, not the entire market.
Four dimension scores drive the overall peer score: Growth (revenue trajectory and expansion dynamics), Quality (margin structure and capital efficiency), Valuation (peer-relative pricing on standard multiples), and Stability (earnings consistency and financial predictability). Each dimension is scored 0–100 relative to the peer group, then combined into an overall peer score using equal weighting.
Because scores are peer-relative, the same company can have slightly different scores in different index universes. On comparison pages, both companies are shown within their shared peer universe wherever possible — so the scores are directly comparable. The peer basis is stated on each score card.
Scores are recalculated periodically as underlying financial data is updated. All analysis is descriptive and rule-based — AssetNext describes structural realities and never issues buy, sell or hold recommendations.
