Data I/O Corporation (NASDAQ:DAIO). China is an important market so economic headwinds there impact the business. “Supply chain diversification” is also beneficial since new locations require new capital units. I see the pushes and pulls between China softness and ROW as a natural hedge.

As the installed base grows, so do recurring revenues (adapter and software sales) and the still developing opportunity to upsell SentriX, which still has unfortunately small adoption. I expect the new CFO who replaces a retiring “lifer” offers fresh perspective and insights."
