WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM?
52%Unique Configuration
Unique ConfigurationLimited Configuration 40%Service and Other 8%
52% of all revenue comes from a single line: Unique Configuration.

The biggest line carries real weight, but it doesn’t decide everything on its own.

Revenue last year:
$838.7M
The net profit left over:
$45.4M
Out of every $100 in sales, $5 stays as net profit.
THE SLICE THAT TURNS INTO PROFIT: 5%

This is an established company with proven profits.

Cash on hand:
$131.6M
Total debt:
$18.1M
The cash outweighs the debt.

If every debt were paid off today, $113.5M would still be left in the vault — a solid cushion for hard times.

THE PRICE TAG
MARKET VALUE / ANNUAL PROFIT
20.2×

The market pays 20.2× for every dollar of annual profit — around what a business like this usually costs.

Against companies in its own sector, it looks cheaper than 83% of them.

Analysts' average target sits 64% above today's price.

What executives did with their own stock over the last 12 months:
45 buy61 sell

Executive selling isn’t always bad news; people sell for personal reasons too. Still, the thin buying side is worth noting.

THE RISKS · 1/1
The stock has lost its spark

Buyers haven’t stepped back in yet; the price hasn’t found its footing. Report-card grade: 48/100. For a turnaround signal, the stock first needs to close the gap with the market.

FINALE · THE GRADE
A
71 / 100 · MoonshotScore

On our five-subject report card, DAKT sits near the top of the class. A high grade doesn’t mean “guaranteed win” — it means “the evidence looks strong for now.”

The takeaway: DAKT is an established business that has proven its profits for years. The real debate here isn’t the price — it’s whether the company can keep up this pace.
