Data I/O Corporation (ISIN US23773J1034) reported a second-quarter 2026 net loss of USD 1.629 million, or negative USD 0.17 per diluted share. As Webull reported on August 12, 2026, GAAP EPS missed consensus by USD 0.13, making the earnings release the key operating reference for DAIO stock.
Revenue rebounds from Q1
Data I/O generated USD 5.149 million in Q2 2026 revenue, up 58.00 percent from USD 3.250 million in Q1 2026. The sequential rebound gives the small technology hardware company a stronger quarterly sales base, but the year-over-year comparison remains negative.
Webull reported that Q2 revenue fell 13.00 percent from the year-earlier period, while the company posted a USD 1.629 million loss. The two comparisons point in different directions: quarter-to-quarter demand improved, yet the annual recovery remained incomplete.
Loss and cash shape the setup
Data I/O's Q2 net loss widened from USD 742,000 a year earlier, while diluted EPS reached negative USD 0.17. Cash on hand stood at USD 10.8 million after the quarter, according to TheDesperateTrader in its Q2 results summary.
The balance between sales recovery and continuing losses is the central operating issue. Revenue growth from Q1 provides a measurable improvement, but the negative EPS and wider annual loss keep profitability at the forefront of the next earnings discussion.
Next earnings date is October 29
Data I/O trades on NASDAQ under the ticker DAIO, and the next expected earnings date is October 29, 2026, according to TheDesperateTrader. That date gives investors a defined checkpoint for testing whether the Q2 sequential rebound continues into the next reported period.
Market capitalization remains small
Data I/O's market capitalization was USD 29.3 million as of September 28, 2026. The 52-week range was USD 2.16 to USD 4.49 on the same date, a valuation backdrop that places the company's USD 5.149 million quarterly revenue against a relatively small equity value.
