Data I/O's demand is primarily influenced by market trends and economic conditions rather than distinct seasonal patterns. Uncertainty in automotive electronics has impacted system shipments, partially offset by growth in Asia. Global trade, tariff negotiations, and a realignment of technology spending have negatively affected overall demand for capital equipment. Recurring revenue from consumable adapters and services has remained steady. The company has dual manufacturing capabilities in the US and China.
