Trio-Tech Write-up w/Mgmt Analysis (TRT).
TRT (overview): Semiconductor reliability test & burn-in co w/ 69% H1 FY26 rev growth to $31.2M, driven by $5.3M AI GPU burn-in board + $2.5M automotive IDM orders. Bull case: AI/EV/auto test intensity rising, $7.8M orders = 16% of LTM rev, strong balance sheet ($16.5M cash, minimal debt). Bear case: gross margin collapsed to 16% from 25% on low-margin final test mix, Q2 op income only $97K despite $15.6M rev, customer concentration (top 3 = 47% rev), governance weak (combined Chair/CEO, succession risk, $50M shelf dilution overhang), ransomware incident. Trades 12.3x EV/adj EBITDA but revenue inflection not yet earnings inflection. Mgmt rating 6.5/10: deep customer relationships but limited margin conversion proof, weak governance. Key catalyst: Q3/Q4 gross margin recovery + op leverage on elevated rev base.
