Data I/O

DAIO

Data I/O is a provider of manual and automated data programming and security provisioning systems for flash memory, microcontrollers, and logic devices. Founded in 1972 and incorporated in 1969, the company developed equipment that allowed electronic designers to program non-volatile semiconductor devices with data stored on punched cards or ASCII-encoded (eight-level) punched paper tape. These products were used for the design and manufacturing of systems used in industries such as IoT, medical development, and consumer electronics. Over the next three decades, the company was involved in technologies such as Bipolar, EPROM, EEPROM, NOR FLASH, Antifuse, FRAM, NAND FLASH, eMMC , and Universal Flash Storage (UFS) devices.

Data I/O has been a target of short sellers for a while. The current short interest of 0.04% is roughly at the average of the last 12 months (0.15%).
