First-pass take

Dialight is a pure industrial LED lighting company with zero AI/ML exposure or strategy. Flat revenue ($183.5m vs $182.1m YoY) despite 4.1pp gross margin improvement from cost discipline (SKU reduction, procurement savings) rather than growth leverage. Material going concern uncertainty, net debt of $17.8m, covenant stress in downside scenarios, and 85% North America exposure create concentrated downside risk amid tariff uncertainty.
