What Digi International does

Maker of cellular routers, gateways and embedded modules that connect industrial and IoT devices, plus device-management software.

Sells hardware, usually through distributors and resellers, and earns recurring fees from subscription software for managing devices and from managed network services. Those recurring streams have been built partly through acquisitions such as Ventus in 2021.

Products and services

  • Cellular routers & gateways
  • Embedded modules
  • Remote device management (SaaS)
  • Ventus managed wireless network

Customers

  • Industrial equipment OEMs
  • Kiosk/ATM/vending operators
  • Utilities
  • Medical device makers

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Industrial IoT
  • Cellular/edge connectivity hardware
  • Device management software (SaaS)

What could go right

  • IoT device proliferation
  • Recurring software/subscription mix shift

What could go wrong

  • Hardware commoditization
  • Customer program cancellations

Moat: narrow (switching costs, installed base). Devices are designed-in with Digi hardware/software for years, but the field has several capable rivals.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
