Daktronics is increasingly exposed to the risk that rising costs and constrained availability of memory, processors, and cloud-based computing infrastructure could disrupt its ability to deliver certain services. As AI and other data-intensive technologies accelerate global demand for high-performance computing, the company may face higher input costs, weaker supplier leverage, and margin or operational pressure if it cannot secure sufficient capacity on acceptable terms or fully pass these costs to customers.

The average DAKT stock price target is $29.00, implying 49.02% upside potential.
