Daktronics reported a solid start to fiscal 2026 (QQ1) with a revenue of $218.97 million and gross margin of 29.7%, delivering net income of $16.47 million and EPS of $0.34. The quarter benefited from a favorable revenue mix and fixed-cost leverage, plus a longer-than-usual 14-week period that contributed approximately $1.5 million of incremental profit. Management highlighted robust order activity across Live Events, High School Park and Recreation (HSPR), and International segments, including three large Major League sports projects and record HSPR orders, which collectively expanded backlog to $360 million and supported a revenue tailwind into the remainder of the year. Importantly, the company reinforced its ongoing business and digital transformation initiatives aimed at sustaining margin discipline, improving service delivery, and enabling a shift toward higher-margin, value-based offerings.
