Lights dying at Dialight?

[pugugly] 13/1/2023 08:09

Down 22% on trading update. Gut feel - Management a bit out of touch. Views?

[chrisdgb] 31/8/2022 09:36

Any fresh thoughts here after the pullback....?

[1jat] 14/4/2022 16:53

Leaden in fact.

Dialight still are lights of the future and will always be! They won’t recover from the outsourcing issues! Expect very average performance.

20% on the price and no posts ? That's typical of a bottom !

...from last year...

Company overview:Dialight is the world leader in LED industrial lighting technology, with more than 50 years of history, currently operating in more than 10 countries. The company has 2 business lines- Lighting, and Signals and Components. The former is focused on LED solutions and industrial applications, and the latter on status indication components for OEM, industrial,  automotive and traffic signals markets. Dialight’s ambition is to provide the most energy-efficient and reliable LED solutions on the market. The company operates in specific niches where hazardous location certifications are required. Recent estimations give DIA the highest market share in industrials at 32%. Expectations are that additional £2bn market can be reached by segmentation of market and development of new products. The presence of one acquisition over the past 5 years and high levels of CapEx are clear sign of organic growth.
Dialight has had rough 2 years, with net losses at the end of both 2020 and 2019, due to lower revenue and litigation issues with former outsourced partner. In addition, gross profit margin for 2020 was also down compared to 2018 and 2019, caused by the pandemic environment. 2021 started on a more positive note, with their first update in May stating trading is line with expectations and orders are actually ahead. They increased inventory foreseeing material shortages. In their latest trading update, DIA is confirming an order growth of 23% and revenue growth at 17%. More good news come from the fact that company has returned to underlying operating profit of £1.5m for the H1 2021 and is looking forward to two new product launches in H2. Expectations for the full year are not changed, which is something to be aware of, as trading is obviously good....from WealthOracleAM

The chart looks great, but this company needs to change its status as a serial disappointer for many years now.

[davr0s] 31/8/2021 19:51

Nice move today

[bountyhunter] 30/8/2021 09:03

Added the latest Dialight price at the top of the thread - which will update during trading hours.

[kaffee] 03/7/2021 08:33

For those of you that like this sort of thing... isn't that one eff off bowl forming on this chart from 2017 highs?

[typo56] 03/6/2021 19:18

I see DIA is being kicked out of the SmallCap index. Lack of liquidity?

[gswredland] 03/6/2021 11:27

Thanks sphere
The tone of announcements from them has been changing recently and could bode well

[sphere25] 02/6/2021 13:23

Watched DIA for years and they have a knack of disappointing - Profit Warning Central.

That said, some interesting activity here and it looks like some keen buyers in the market who have just picked up the full 8.8% position of DBAY.

Normally that kind of buying is a precursor to a pop higher, but you can never be sure with the likes of DIA.

Still, it is something of note for anyone watching or any holders (speculate away) - DIA can move 20p in either direction on nothing volume so any short term traders beware too!

All imo

Hi all,

My mate Peter @Conkers3 and myself did a ‘Twin Petes Investing’ Podcast last week and DIA was one of the Stocks we discussed, and I think it has a lot of potential as a Recovery play, although neither of us hold it at the moment.

We also discussed a lot about Markets and the outlook for Summer and into the Autumn, and as always we also chatted about loads of other Stocks and Ideas for research and a fair bit of educational stuff with regards to Investing and Portfolio Management (and without doubt some important psychology stuff always creeps in).

Anyway, if you use Youtube, Apple, Audioboom, Overcast, Google+ or Spotify, Podchaser etc. you can find it under the 'Conkers Corner' Channel (you want Podcast TPI 49) and you can find it on Soundcloud at the link below.

I hope you enjoy it and find it useful, we try to keep them light and they are totally unscripted, with the intent being that it is like you are eavesdropping on us having a chat down the local boozer.

Cheers, WD

Yellowstone - it is easier to change before posting - just capitalise one of the first five letters thus:



Thank you for making the recording available - I missed the first 7 minutes because it took me that long to access zoom because it was, as usual, a pain - kept on putting me back a screen at the password stage. I don't know what Tomps uses for PIWorld but it is much better than zoom.

It is difficult to find much encouragement here and the dreadful Covid figures for Mexico make our prospects worse.
I wanted to watch the Video presentation for the full year results but found myself watching that foe the first half year instead. Behind the figures were images of cardboard boxes stacked in a warehouse and a curious film of rubble being poured over an electric light.
I had hoped for images of a manufacturing process. I found the CEO uninspiring.

Looks as though the webinar had as much oomph as a sack of wet cow dung - share price falling back again.

I was unable to access - Can anyone who listened able to comment?

[yellowstoneadvisory] 12/5/2021 07:32

Chair and CEO at Dialight will talk through FY results (released 30/3) and the turnaround story. Its been a trick year but costs have been taken out and they are seeing a post Covid pick up in sales. It’s a largely fixed production cost base so incremental sales drop through to profits pretty quickly. Plenty of time for Q&A

For better or worse I have sold most of my shares at 258p.
I see better prospects elsewhere.
