D-BOX Technologies on Cutting Edge of Entertainment

D-BOX Technologies Inc. (TSE: DBO), the small cap Canadian designer and manufacturer of entertainment haptic (motion) technology, greatly enhances the music and movie experience for millions each year. For close to 20 years, D-BOX has been giving audiences realistic experiences.

The company sparked investor interest in a major way with the debut of encoded D-BOX seats at the release of the Fast & Furious movie in 2009. Enhancing the total user experience for action packed adventure movies has maintained D-Box’s value for investors. Since then, D-Box has increased its music and cinema footprint, bringing its motion systems to over 700 screens throughout 40 countries.

The downside, although not necessarily related to D-Box’s financials, is the recent hacking ransomware attack suffered by the company at the close of business on July 12, 2021. Despite this, trading volume revolved around 299.96 over the past 30 days and investors earned 9.09% year to date on the stock. (See D-BOX stock chart on TipRanks)

Investors Increase Expectations

Investors have grown used to collaborations and other initiatives led by D-BOX. This was seen most explicitly in the recent agreement with SIMTAG BV, an innovator in developing and building simulators and accessories for Sim Racing, according to a company press release.

“During the fourth quarter, we are pleased to get the support from the investment community with the completion of $5.75M equity financing. D-BOX can accelerate its investments to maintain our technology and market leadership, support the recovery of commercial entertainment market and to execute our gaming, sim racing and home entertainment strategy,” stated David Montpetit, CFO of D-BOX Technologies.

It is important to note that the business model relies on cities and venues not being locked down, and not having a threat of impending restrictions due to COVID-19. That’s because currently, the company does not have significant product visibility in home theater systems and relies heavily on people enjoying themselves leisurely in public.

Meanwhile, the company is quietly becoming a leader in haptic technology, bringing technological breakthroughs and innovative solutions to the gaming industry, commercial training and simulation and home entertainment.
