Data I/O Posts $0.17 Q2 Loss as Revenue Decline Continues
DAIO sits 39% above its 52-week low of $2.16.
Summary
Data I/O reported a Q2 loss of $0.17 per share, extending the steep decline seen in Q1 when revenue fell 47.4% and losses widened. The Q2 net loss widened on interest expense from convertible debt. The company has been burning cash and recently completed a $9 million private placement and a $23 million acquisition aimed at nearly doubling revenue. This quarterly loss confirms the operational struggles persist despite the capital infusion. The next earnings call will be critical to see if the acquisition is integrating and whether cost cuts are taking hold.
