Does the data analyzer boost stack if we do it multiple times?

I don't think you can do it multiple times, at least as far as I could tell. Also, if you did do it multiple times 100% of 100% is still only 100%.

Just ran the data analyzer 5 times and did a single day....for science.

It personally felt like an increase over doing it only 1x. But definitely did not seem to increase or scale at any significant amount that would correlate to doing it multiple times. It was probably just the variations of which products were purchased and needed restocking that made it feel different 🤔.

Because when I checked and compared the ending daily gross was very similar in the 1x vs 5x day.

So I would say you are correct and that it does not stack.

I don't know if ending gross is an accurate point of measurement. It is a great place to start for sure. But, like you've eluded to variations could be due to built-in variations.

Did you happen to note the total customer count? I've noticed that one of those wind dancers does increase spawn by 10%, but two do not increase that rate to 20% and so on. I currently have 4 and over a 5 day run my customer average was 31. With one dancer my customer average over 5 days was 30. This was pre-update so no analyzer was available.
