AI Brief

Q2 FY26 earnings call · Aug 12, 2026
Q2 FY26

TL;DR. Data I/O delivered Q2 revenue of $5.2 million at the midpoint of guidance (up 59% sequentially), expanded gross margin to 57%, and achieved break-even Adjusted EBITDA excluding one-time items, while advancing its $9 million financing, its 'transformational' acquisition (extended to August 31) and a new intent to acquire IAR's embedded security assets.

Bullish
  • + Revenue grew 59% sequentially to $5.2M, at the midpoint of guidance
  • + Gross margin expanded to 57.0%, the highest level since Q2 2023
  • + Achieved cost run-rate below $22M target by April and Adjusted EBITDA excluding one-time items was essentially break-even
  • + Closed $9M private placement in June, lifting cash to $10.8M with no debt outstanding post-conversion
  • + Advanced 'transformational' acquisition (exclusive through end of August, expected to nearly double revenue run-rate) and announced intent to acquire IAR embedded security assets, opening four new revenue streams
Bearish
  • − Revenue of $5.2M declined year-over-year from $5.9M in Q2 2025
  • − Net loss widened to $1.6M (($0.17)/share) from $0.7M a year ago, driven by $873K of interest expense from the convertible debenture
  • − Company declined to provide Q3 specific revenue guidance
  • − Backlog declined to $2.1M from $2.6M sequentially

Dividends per share over the trailing 365 days by ex-date · buyback figures as last reported in SEC filings ("spent" derived as authorized − remaining; when several programs run concurrently, authorized is their combined total per the newest filing) · components shown separately — trailing-year buyback spend isn't tracked, so no combined shareholder yield is derived.
