Data I/O Corporation (US2376901029) completed its acquisition of V-TEK and A&J Programming on October 21, 2026, for USD 23.0 million. The transaction brings new automation and programming services into the company, while a related financing could authorize the issuance of 20.00 percent or more of outstanding common stock, subject to shareholder approval.

Three transactions reshape the company

On October 19, 2026, Data I/O announced a USD 13.25 million private placement, according to GlobeNewswire. On October 20, 2026, the company completed the V-TEK and A&J Programming acquisition for USD 23.0 million, including USD 20.0 million in cash and USD 3.0 million in Data I/O common stock, according to the company filing carried by StockTitan. On October 21, 2026, Data I/O announced the completed acquisition and said consolidated revenue had more than doubled, according to GlobeNewswire.

What does the financing mean?

The financing gives Data I/O cash for the transaction and working capital, but the securities structure also creates a potential dilution issue. The October 22, 2026 filing states that the private placement included 746,266 common shares and USD 11.25 million of convertible notes, with conversion into common stock at USD 2.68 per share, according to StockTitan. The filing also says a special shareholder meeting is intended to address issuance above 19.9 percent of shares outstanding.

Operating momentum was visible before the acquisition. Data I/O reported USD 5.149 million in revenue and a USD 1.629 million net loss for the second quarter of 2026, versus USD 3.250 million in revenue and a USD 3.170 million net loss in the first quarter. Revenue therefore rose 58.43 percent sequentially, based on figures reported by Investing.com.

Next date for shareholders

MarketBeat lists October 29, 2026 at 5:00 p.m. ET as the scheduled conference call date for the third-quarter 2026 report. That event should provide the first operating update after the acquisition.

Stock valuation after the deal

Data I/O stock closed at USD 2.46 on Nasdaq on October 23, 2026 at 4:00 p.m. ET.
