The company intends to phase out its Ireland-based manufacturing operations, a move projected to incur $13.5 million in pretax charges. Alongside the plant closure, Daktronics will scale back its micro-LED development, shifting resources toward narrow pixel pitch LED technology. The overhaul extends to the Asia-Pacific region, where the firm will close offices in Hong Kong and Macau and abandon highly customized segments of its international transportation business.

Financial projections suggest the plan will yield $5 million in savings during the second half of 2027, growing to $16 million in fiscal 2028. Upon full implementation by mid-fiscal 2028, the company anticipates an annualized run rate of $18 million in incremental savings. These measures follow a broader mandate to optimize factory operations and stabilize margins by focusing on core display technologies.
