Upturn Advisory & Investor View for DGII

10/16/2026: DGII (4-star) is currently NOT-A-BUY. Pass it for now.

Digi International is an established technology company focused on mission-critical Internet of Things connectivity. The company distinguishes itself by providing integrated hardware and software solutions for industrial applications where reliability is paramount. Its primary growth story revolves around transitioning from a hardware-reliant model to a software-linked, recurring service revenue base. Investors should note risks, including intense competition from larger networking hardware providers and sensitivity to industrial capital expenditure cycles. This stock may suit investors seeking long-term exposure to the Industrial IoT sector, provided they monitor the company's ability to maintain high service margins and successful integration of strategic acquisitions.

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 106.7% 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.

★★★★★
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. Solid margins and strong cash conversion support the rating, although capital efficiency remains soft.

Economic Dimensions

★★★★★
Effective Tax Rate: 18.26%

Quantitative Style Profile

★★★★★
DGII has a liquid profile. Weak momentum is the primary drawback, while soft valuation.
