Daktronics Inc

Daktronics, Inc. ("Daktronics" or the "Company") (NASDAQ-DAKT), the leading U.S.-based designer and manufacturer of best-in-class dynamic video communication displays and control systems for customers worldwide, today announced that, after careful deliberation, the Board of Directors (the "Board") has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its common shareholders to exercise the Company's right to convert an initial $7.0 million in face value of the $25 million senior second lien secured promissory note (the "Convertible Note") held by Alta Fox Capital Management, LLC (together with its affiliates, "Alta Fox") into approximately 1.1 million shares of the Company's common stock. &nbsp;
The Board intends to deliver to Alta Fox notice of the conversion on November 11, 2024, with a conversion date of December 3, 2024. The Company intends to convert the remainder of the Convertible Note over the next several months, in tranches of up to $7 million in face value every 30 days, as provided for in the Convertible Note.
Daktronics has delivered outstanding financial results over the last twelve months, with record revenue, gross profit and operating income in fiscal year 2024, and strong returns for shareholders, with the Company's stock price increasing more than 300% over the last two years and over 175% since the issuance of the Convertible Note on May 11, 2023.1 This performance is the result of several initiatives implemented by the management team and Board, including strengthening the Company's financial position, reducing order backlog, and improving margins through operational enhancements and strategic cost reductions.
The Board's decision to force the conversion of the Convertible Note is consistent with the Company's ongoing focus on balance sheet optimization and cost efficiency and will save the Company approximately $5.4 million in interest expense over the remaining term of the Convertible Note. To help offset the share dilution that will result from the conversion of the Convertible Note into common stock, the Company intends to execute on its existing share repurchase authorization as soon as practicable.

<h3>The Impact of Insider Transactions on Investments</h3>
Investors should view insider transactions as part of a multifaceted analysis and not rely solely on them for decision-making.
In the context of legal matters, the term "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities, as outlined by Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This includes executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. Such insiders are obligated to report their transactions through a Form 4 filing, which must be completed within two business days of the transaction.
Pointing towards optimism, a company insider's new purchase signals their positive anticipation for the stock to rise.
Despite insider sells not always signaling a bearish sentiment, they can be driven by various factors.
<h3>Unlocking the Meaning of Transaction Codes</h3>
In the domain of transactions, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">investors</a> frequently turn their focus to those taking place in the open market, as meticulously outlined in Table I of the Form 4 filing.

In legal terms, an "insider" refers to any officer, director, or beneficial owner of more than ten percent of a company's equity securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Daktronics, which belongs to the Zacks Electronics - Miscellaneous Products industry, posted revenues of $226.09 million for the quarter ended July 2024, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.27%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $232.53 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.

<h2>What&#39;s Next for Daktronics?</h2>
While Daktronics has outperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors&#39; minds is: what&#39;s next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company&#39;s earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Daktronics: mixed. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company&#39;s just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to perform in line with the market in the near future.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.30 on $218.94 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.13 on $839.52 million in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well.

Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
Flux Power Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/flux#NASDAQ">FLUX</a>), another stock in the same industry, has yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2024.

GoDaddy Aids Small Business Marketing in Digital Sector

The Zacks Electronics &ndash; Miscellaneous Products industry has been suffering from challenging macroeconomic conditions, high levels of inventories with distributors and steep interest rates. The global economic turmoil is expected to keep the semiconductor capex under check, which does not bode well for industry participants in the near term. However, players like KLA (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/klac#NASDAQ">KLAC</a>), Flex (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/flex#NASDAQ">FLEX</a>) and Daktronics (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/dakt#NASDAQ">DAKT</a>) are benefiting from higher spending on advanced technologies, including augmented reality&nbsp;and virtual reality. Continuing investments in data centers, high-performance computing and 5G end markets are the key catalysts. Fab (foundry) expansion in the United States, South Korea, Taiwan and China, as well as higher spending on memory equipment, is expected to drive growth in 2024 and beyond.
Industry Description
The Zacks Electronics &ndash; Miscellaneous Products industry includes a number of original equipment manufacturers of air-conditioning systems, green energy solutions, remote-control systems, GPS navigation, home automation systems, healthcare devices, industry/factory automation, robotics, semiconductor and optical applications, and energy management solutions. The industry is evolving on digital transformation and the growing demand for silicon across multiple markets. The increasing cost of manufacturing bodes well for equipment suppliers, while the growing demand for silicon is a positive for semiconductor companies. Apart from the United States, companies in this industry are based in Japan, Germany, the Netherlands and Switzerland. These companies either have manufacturing operations in China and South-East Asia or generate significant revenues from these regions.
3 Trends Shaping the Future of the Industry
Solid Capital Spending Drives Prospects: Technology transitions are driving product complexities, which are raising the demand for solutions provided by industry participants. Increasing investment in expanding manufacturing capacity by semiconductor companies is a key catalyst in the long run (irrespective of the near-term hiccups due to the challenging macroeconomic conditions). Since semiconductor companies are the major customers of miscellaneous electronics product manufacturers, the trend bodes well for industry participants. In addition, rising spending on advanced nodes &mdash; 7 nm, 5 nm and 3 nm processes from logic and foundry customers &mdash; favors industry participants. Notably, logic and foundry spending is anticipated to be healthy this year.
Emerging Markets of Wearables, AR &amp; VR Drive Growth: Industry participants are riding on strong demand for wearables and AR and VR-supported display systems in defense, industrial, consumer applications and healthcare end markets. The adoption of AR and VR is increasing due to the growing proliferation of the metaverse.
Challenging Macroeconomic Condition is a Headwind: Industry participants are suffering from a challenging macroeconomic condition globally, with enterprises showing reluctance in committing to multi-year deals. Persistent inflation and unfavorable forex trends do not bode well for industry participants.
Zacks Industry Rank 
The Zacks Electronics &ndash; Miscellaneous Products industry is housed within the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #184, which places it in the bottom 26% of more than 250 Zacks industries.
The group&#39;s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all member stocks, indicates dim near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one.
The industry&#39;s positioning in the bottom 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries is a result of the negative earnings outlook for the constituent companies in aggregate. Looking at the aggregate earnings estimate revisions, it appears that analysts are pessimistic about this group&#39;s earnings growth potential. Since Jul 31, 2023, earnings estimates for the industry for the current year have moved south by 25.5%.
Given the bearish prospects, there are only a few stocks worth watching in the industry. But before we present those stocks, let&#39;s take a look at the industry&#39;s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture.
Industry Lags S&amp;P 500, Broader Sector

The industry has returned 9.6% during this period compared with the S&amp;P 500 composite&#39;s growth of 19.3% and the broader sector&#39;s return of 27%.

Amidst market uncertainties, investing in companies at the edge of technological innovation offers a strategic advantage. These investments can provide game-changing returns during a market rebound. Here, the focus is on three companies with stability and growth in their respective niches.

A recent legal victory enhancing financial stability further bolsters its fundamental solidity. On the other hand, the second company has capitalized on the rising demand for AI and networking solutions. It is driving substantial revenue growth and margin expansion. Finally, the third company has record-breaking sales and profitability improvements. This points to its leadership in innovative display and control systems for diverse sectors, like live events and transportation.



Each company has solid financial performance and strategic foresight in navigating competitive landscapes and capitalizing on emerging market trends. For sustainable growth and market leadership, these companies have fundamental strengths and growth strategies. With that, these <a href="https://investorplace.com/industries/technology/">tech stocks</a> to buy present compelling opportunities in today&rsquo;s market.



<h2>Impinj (PI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/software1600d-300x169.jpg" alt="A man examines a digital screen with different icons for software."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div>Impinj (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pi-stock-quote/">PI</a>) leads in endpoint integrated circuits (ICs) and connectivity devices for identifying, locating and authenticating items. In Q1 2024, the company had sharp <a href="https://investor.impinj.com/news/press-release/2024/Impinj-Reports-First-Quarter-2024-Financial-Results/default.aspx" target="_blank">sequential growth</a> in endpoint IC revenue, totaling $61.5 million. This surpassed expectations and indicated solid demand in the retail apparel and general merchandise sectors. 



Additionally, Impinj&rsquo;s strategic focus on solution deployment in the retail and general merchandise sectors has proven fruitful. A major North American retailer&rsquo;s acceleration in <a href="https://s22.q4cdn.com/275039025/files/doc_earnings/2024/q1/transcript/1Q24-earnings-script-FINAL.pdf" target="_blank">RAIN tag usage</a> reflects Impinj&rsquo;s technology&rsquo;s increasing adoption and scalability. This sector-specific growth, ongoing solution deployments and product expansions mark Impinj&rsquo;s fundamental capability to capitalize on market leads. Such strategic initiatives are vital in deriving market share gains and boosting the top line over the medium to long term.



Further, Impinj&rsquo;s legal settlement with NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/nxpi-stock-quote/">NXPI</a>) ended a longstanding patent dispute and boosted its financial standing. The one-time $45 million payment and annual licensing fee provide Impinj with added flexibility. This settlement reflects Impinj&rsquo;s proactive approach to safeguarding its intellectual property rights to solidify its competitive edge.



Overall, Impinj is on the tech stocks to buy list due to its strong market position and recent legal settlement, which boosts growth stability.



<h2>Celestica (CLS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/cls1600-300x169.png" alt="Person holding cellphone with website of Canadian electronics company Celestica Inc. (CLS) on screen in front of logo. Focus on center of phone display. Unmodified photo."><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div>Celestica (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/cls-stock-quote/">CLS</a>) leads in design, manufacturing and supply chain solutions across markets. In Q1 2024, the company had a top line of <a href="https://corporate.celestica.com/static-files/e5734a8b-faa0-4b9c-9a7f-3d5992421970" target="_blank">$2.21 billion,</a> surpassing expectations and marking a 20% annual increase. This growth was primarily driven by the Connectivity &amp; Cloud Solutions (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ccs-stock-quote/">CCS</a>) segment, which had a solid 38% revenue increase against Q1 2023. It reflects strong demand in both enterprise and communications end markets.



Moreover, this growth marks continued demand for AI compute products from hyperscaler customers. Similarly, the communications end market also saw a robust 17% revenue boom. A heightened demand for high-performance computing and networking products supports it. Financially, Celestica&rsquo;s operating margin improved to <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/celestica-inc-nyse-cls-q1-130024241.html" target="_blank">6.2% (+1% annually)</a> in Q1 2024, up 1% from the previous year. This is the first time quarterly margins have exceeded 6%. This margin expansion was driven by improved profitability across the CCS and Advanced Technology Solutions (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ats-stock-quote/">ATS</a>) segments. Hence, the performance emerged from a favorable product mix and enhanced production efficiency.



To summarize, Celestica is on the tech stocks to buy list due to growth in AI compute products, networking solutions and margin expansion.



<h2>Daktronics (DAKT)</h2>



<a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/shutterstock_516354493-scaled.jpg"><img width="300" height="200" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/09/shutterstock_516354493-300x200.jpg" alt="A dramatic view of an illuminated football stadium from the grass."></a>Daktronics (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/dakt-stock-quote/">DAKT</a>) prevails in electronic scoreboards, programmable display systems and large-screen video displays. The company had a record sales volume of <a href="https://investor.daktronics.com/node/20006/pdf" target="_blank">$215.9 million</a> for Q4 fiscal 2024. It is marking a 2.9% increase from the previous year. For fiscal 2024, sales grew by 8.5% to $818.1 million. The company progressively captured a greater share of its serviceable addressable market (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/sam-stock-quote/">SAM</a>). It is particularly prevalent in the live events and transportation sectors. 



As a result, gross margin improved to, for the full year, 27.2% from 20.1% in fiscal 2023. This improvement comes from strategic pricing actions, manufacturing efficiencies and stable supply chain operations. Similarly, operating income quadrupled to $87.1 million in 2024. That indicates effective cost management and operational efficiency gains despite higher expenses related to incentive compensation and staffing increases. Finally, the working capital ratio improved to <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/daktronics-inc-nasdaq-dakt-q4-120254142.html" target="_blank">2.1 to 1 at the end of Q4,</a> up from 1.6 to 1 in Q4 2023. This improvement suggests effective management of inventory levels and receivables. 



To conclude, Daktronics is among the top tech stocks to buy because of its record sales volumes and significant margin improvements.
