Description: DAKT Daktronics December 01, 2025
Daktronics, Inc. (NASDAQ:DAKT) designs, manufactures and sells electronic scoreboards, programmable LED displays and large-screen video walls for sports venues, commercial sites and transportation networks worldwide. The business is organized into Commercial, Live Events, High School & Park & Recreation, Transportation and International segments, reaching customers such as out-of-home advertisers, retailers, quick-serve restaurants, casinos, cruise lines and government transportation agencies through direct sales and a network of resellers.
Recent metrics show the company generated roughly $1.0 billion of revenue in FY 2023, up about 5 % year-over-year, with an operating margin near 10 % and a disclosed order backlog of roughly $300 million, indicating a steady pipeline of capital-intensive projects. Growth is driven by macro trends that favor LED-based digital signage-namely, rising advertising spend on out-of-home media, increased municipal infrastructure investment in intelligent transportation systems, and the ongoing modernization of sports facilities that require higher-resolution, low-maintenance displays. However, the segment is sensitive to construction-cycle volatility and to competitive pressure on LED component pricing, which can compress margins if cost pass-through is limited.
