Spark’s Take on DAKT Stock
According to Spark, TipRanks’ AI Analyst, DAKT is a Outperform.
The score is driven primarily by solid underlying financial strength (low leverage and good recent cash generation) and strong business momentum from the latest update (order growth and a much higher backlog). Technicals are supportive, but the overall rating is capped by a very expensive valuation (high P/E) and the company’s recent earnings volatility.
