Insert text in stacked plot points

I would like to insert text notes at certain values of a stacked plot type. I have tried the text function but I cant seem to get it to work.

Normally my stacked plots have a time variable (see screenshot). I would like to insert comments to certain dates and variables.

Thanks in advance!

stackedplot does not return the axis handles which is needed to place the text objects but you can get the axis handles using the undocumented NodeChildren property. Use flipud to reverse the order of axis handles so they appear in the same order as the stack.

S = stackedplot(rand(50,4)); 
ax = flipud(findobj(S.NodeChildren, 'Type','Axes'));
text(ax(1),10,.8, 'Text1')
text(ax(2),20,.6, 'Text2')
text(ax(3),30,.4, 'Text3')
text(ax(4),40,.2, 'Text4')
