• 2. Needham & Company LLC analysts commented, "DAKT posted disappointing results for the seasonally weak FQ3, with revs coming in 7% below our est. The rev shortfall resulted in weaker gross margins, leading to a larger seasonal loss. Orders increased 23% y/o/y, led by 20% growth in Live Events and a solid q/o/q and y/o/y rebound in the International business. The book-to-bill was 1.24. Mgmt guided to slight y/o/y growth compared with our expectations of low double-digit growth. The selloff in the shares today resulting from the disappointing print and guide appears overdone, in our view, particularly in light of the continued solid bookings and reasonably healthy underlying demand. With the shares trading at 0.5x EV/out-year revs and 7x adjusted EBITDA and DAKT shares offering a 3% dividend yield, we believe there is solid value at current levels. Maintain Buy." (2/21/2017)
