DAKT DAKTRONICS INC /SD/ Insider Trading

Alta Fox (10% owner) sells 1,000,000 shares (1.00M) of DAKT at $14.90; retains 4,973,599 shares post-transaction.

Alta Fox Opportunities Fund, LP executed a substantial $14,900,000.00 sale of 1,000,000 shares, reducing its stake from 5,973,599 shares to 4,973,599 shares (-16.7% vs pre-transaction holdings), while maintaining a significant 10% ownership position. The sale occurred at $14.90 per share, currently trading 0.4% above that level at $14.84, but down 23.9% from the 52-week high of $19.50. Daktronics is unprofitable on a quarterly basis (net income $-17.2M) with a P/E of 371.00, indicating the market is pricing in recovery expectations rather than current earnings power. The combination of a large reduction in the fund's position, the company's current loss profile, and the 30-day rebound of +16.9% from recent lows creates a complex signal that merits examination of broader fund activity and forward guidance.

Director Andrew David Siegel buys 2,500 DAKT shares at $11.50 on 2025-04-04; stock at $11.31 current (-42.0% from 52-week high $19.50)

Siegel, a director at Daktronics, purchased 2,500 shares at $11.50 on 2025-04-04, increasing his holdings to 43,446 shares (+6.1% from prior holdings). This marks his third open-market purchase—two additional buys at this ticker occurred on 2025-03-31, suggesting sustained interest over consecutive trading days. The stock is currently $11.31, down -42.0% from its 52-week high of $19.50, and has declined -31.1% over the past 90 days. Fundamentals show the company posted $149,507,000 in quarterly revenue with a net loss of $-17,156,000, coupled with a P/E ratio of 282.75, reflecting depressed profitability; his purchases near recent lows warrant examination of whether they reflect contrarian conviction or routine portfolio activity absent the broader market context of his prior trade outcomes at this ticker.

Director Siegel purchases 7,200 shares at $11.82 avg; holdings increase 21.3% as stock trades -37.5% from 52-week high

Andrew David Siegel, a Director at Daktronics, completed 2 separate purchases totaling 7,200 shares for $85,140.00, raising his post-transaction holdings to 40,946 shares from 33,746 shares—a 21.3% increase in his position. The purchases occurred at $11.86 and $11.80 per share, with a blended average price of $11.82, while the stock currently trades at $12.18, down 37.5% from its 52-week high of $19.50 and down 20.2% over 30 days. The company reported net income of $-17.2M against quarterly revenue of $149.5M, indicating sustained losses despite 8.5% annual revenue growth. This accumulation by a director at depressed levels coincides with the company's negative earnings and significant price decline, but without additional context on Siegel's prior trading patterns or the board's strategic rationale, the purchase represents a material holding increase during a period of financial and stock-price stress.

Secretary/VP Carla Gatzke buys 435 shares of DAKT at $4.32; modest $1.9K purchase adds 0.1% to 661.3K-share position.

Carla Gatzke, Secretary and VP of Human Resources at Daktronics, purchased 435 shares at $4.32 on 2020-06-24 for a total value of $1,879.20, increasing her holdings from 660.9K shares to 661.3K shares. The transaction size represents only 0.1% relative to her existing position and approximately 0.05% of the company's market cap of $781.9M. At the current price of $16.64, the transaction occurred at a 73.8% discount to today's valuation, though any forward-looking inference from price movement is limited by the transaction's small size and the HR-focused role of the insider. This purchase occurred during a period when the stock traded within a 52-week range of $7.27–$19.50, neither at a notable low nor peak.
