Upturn Advisory & Investor View for DGII

09/18/2026: DGII (3-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Digi International is a provider of mission-critical IoT connectivity hardware and software designed for industrial and enterprise environments. The company has a leading position in delivering reliable, secure solutions that connect machines and assets in demanding settings. Its primary growth opportunity lies in increasing its recurring software revenue through the Digi Remote Manager platform while capturing demand for 5G connectivity. However, the company faces significant execution risks, including intense competition from larger networking firms and potential hardware supply chain vulnerabilities. Investors should monitor the growth of software-as-a-service (SaaS) revenues and the company's ability to integrate future acquisitions effectively, as it remains a growth-oriented, non-dividend paying stock in a cyclical industry.

Upturn Scorecard

Upturn Star Rating

DGII receives a 4-star rating, supported by solid unit economics, solid company fundamentals, and solid analyst coverage. The rating is constrained by weak price momentum.

Company Fundamentals

DGII has solid overall fundamentals (4 stars), with moderate financial health, solid growth momentum, and solid ownership. In FY2025 versus FY2024, strong earnings growth (+81.3%) and strong cash generation (FCF margin 24.5%) are partially offset by moderate revenue growth (+1.5%), soft profitability (net margin 9.5%), modest insider ownership of 2.76%.

Financial Health Rating

DGII's financial health is supported by solid cash strength, including free-cash-flow generation (24.5% of revenue). Profitability is moderate (3 stars), which helps explain the 3-star overall score.

Growth Momentum Score

Earnings growth is DGII's strongest growth driver at +81.3% FY2025 versus FY2024 (strong, 5 stars). By comparison, free-cash-flow growth (+30.3%, solid) is also solid, while revenue growth (+1.5%, moderate) holds the profile back, so recent growth is not broad-based across the business.

Ownership

Institutional ownership is 107.3% and approximately 97.4% of outstanding shares are publicly tradable, supporting liquidity and institutional participation. Insider ownership of 2.76% provides only moderate management-shareholder alignment.

Top 5 Institutional Investors

BlackRock Inc 15.49%
Conestoga Capital Advisors, LLC 5.74%
FMR Inc 5.05%
Earnest Partners LLC 4.75%
Dimensional Fund Advisors, Inc. 4.36%

Unit Economics (Per $1K Revenue)

DGII generates approximately $629 of gross profit, $131 of operating income, and $245 of free cash flow for every $1,000 of revenue. Based on FY2025 results. Strong cash conversion and healthy margins support the rating, although capital efficiency remains below the highest tier.

Economic Dimensions

Effective Tax Rate: 18.26%

Quantitative Style Profile

DGII has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while valuation that is moderately attractive rather than deeply discounted.
