Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the Gentex Reports Second Quarter 2026 Financial Results Conference Call. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded. [Operator Instructions]
I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Josh O'Berski, Vice President of Investor Relations.
Josh O'Berski
Vice President of Investor Relations
Thank you. Good morning, and thank you for joining us today for our second quarter 2026 earnings conference call. I'm Josh O'Berski, Gentex's Vice President of Investor Relations. And with me today are Steve Downing, President and CEO; Neil Boehm, COO and CTO; and Kevin Nash, Vice President of Finance and CFO.
Please note that a replay of this conference call webcast, along with edited transcripts will be available following the call in the Investors section of our website at ir.gentex.com. Many of the statements made today during the call are forward-looking and reflect our current expectations. These statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, both known and unknown, including those described in our press release issued this morning and in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as well as general economic conditions.
Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.58 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.5 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.47 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +16.00%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and other products would post earnings of $0.44 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.48, delivering a surprise of +9.09%.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Gentex, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry, posted revenues of $651.3 million for the quarter ended June 2026, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 2.64%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $657.86 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates just once over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Gentex shares have added about 2.3% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 8.2%.
What's Next for Gentex?While Gentex has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Gentex was favorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to outperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.50 on $668.26 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.97 on $2.68 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Original Equipment is currently in the bottom 39% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, EVgo Inc. (EVGO - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended June 2026. The results are expected to be released on August 5.
This company is expected to post quarterly loss of $0.20 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of -100%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has remained unchanged over the last 30 days.
EVgo Inc.'s revenues are expected to be $81.78 million, down 16.6% from the year-ago quarter.
Shares of Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) have been struggling lately and have lost 7.6% over the past four weeks. However, a hammer chart pattern was formed in its last trading session, which could mean that the stock found support with bulls being able to counteract the bears. So, it could witness a trend reversal down the road.
While the formation of a hammer pattern is a technical indication of nearing a bottom with potential exhaustion of selling pressure, rising optimism among Wall Street analysts about the future earnings of this maker of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and other products is a solid fundamental factor that enhances the prospects of a trend reversal for the stock.
Understanding Hammer Chart and the Technique to Trade ItThis is one of the popular price patterns in candlestick charting. A minor difference between the opening and closing prices forms a small candle body, and a higher difference between the low of the day and the open or close forms a long lower wick (or vertical line). The length of the lower wick being at least twice the length of the real body, the candle resembles a 'hammer.'
In simple terms, during a downtrend, with bears having absolute control, a stock usually opens lower compared to the previous day's close, and again closes lower. On the day the hammer pattern is formed, maintaining the downtrend, the stock makes a new low. However, after eventually finding support at the low of the day, some amount of buying interest emerges, pushing the stock up to close the session near or slightly above its opening price.
When it occurs at the bottom of a downtrend, this pattern signals that the bears might have lost control over the price. And, the success of bulls in stopping the price from falling further indicates a potential trend reversal.
Hammer candles can occur on any timeframe -- such as one-minute, daily, weekly -- and are utilized by both short-term as well as long-term investors.
Like every technical indicator, the hammer chart pattern has its limitations. Particularly, as the strength of a hammer depends on its placement on the chart, it should always be used in conjunction with other bullish indicators.
Here's What Increases the Odds of a Turnaround for GNTXThere has been an upward trend in earnings estimate revisions for GNTX lately, which can certainly be considered a bullish indicator on the fundamental side. That's because a positive trend in earnings estimate revisions usually translates into price appreciation in the near term.
The consensus EPS estimate for the current year has increased 0.4% over the last 30 days. This means that the Wall Street analysts covering GNTX are majorly in agreement about the company's potential to report better earnings than what they predicted earlier.
If this is not enough, you should note that GNTX currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), which means it is in the top 20% of more than 4,000 stocks that we rank based on trends in earnings estimate revisions and EPS surprises. And stocks carrying a Zacks Rank #1 or 2 usually outperform the market. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Moreover, a Zacks Rank of 2 for Gentex is a more conclusive indication of a potential trend reversal, as the Zacks Rank has proven to be an excellent timing indicator that helps investors identify precisely when a company's prospects are beginning to improve.
Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) reported $651.3 million in revenue for the quarter ended June 2026, representing a year-over-year decline of 1%. EPS of $0.58 for the same period compares to $0.47 a year ago.
The reported revenue represents a surprise of -2.64% over the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $668.96 million. With the consensus EPS estimate being $0.50, the EPS surprise was +16%.
While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.
As these metrics influence top- and bottom-line performance, comparing them to the year-ago numbers and what analysts estimated helps investors project a stock's price performance more accurately.
Here is how Gentex performed in the just reported quarter in terms of the metrics most widely monitored and projected by Wall Street analysts:

Miso Robotics stock: Is an IPO coming soon?Gentex NASDAQ: GNTX reported second-quarter 2026 net sales of $651.3 million, down 1% from $657.9 million a year earlier, as lower automotive revenue in several international markets was partly offset by North American strength, higher vehicle content in Europe and growth in non-automotive businesses.
Automotive revenue declined about 3% year over year to $560.1 million, reflecting lower light-vehicle production and reduced shipments of base auto-dimming mirrors. President and CEO Steve Downing said revenue in China fell 20% from the prior-year period amid tariff-related market disruptions, while Europe, Japan and Korea also recorded lower revenue. North American demand remained comparatively strong.

Analysts Recommend These Stocks To Cushion The Automotive SlumpDespite sales coming in below the company’s forecast, Gentex posted net income attributable to the company of $114.7 million, up 19% from $96 million in the second quarter of 2025. Diluted earnings per share rose to a record second-quarter $0.54 from $0.43. On a non-GAAP basis, adjusted diluted EPS was $0.58, compared with $0.50 a year earlier.
Margins Benefit From Tariff Reimbursements and Mix Second-quarter gross margin rose 280 basis points year over year to 37%. The result included approximately $18 million of IEEPA tariff reimbursements that reduced cost of goods sold. Gentex received about $38 million in total reimbursements during the quarter, with the remaining roughly $20 million reducing inventory held on the balance sheet rather than benefiting gross margin.
Downing said gross margin also benefited from product mix, operational execution and improving profitability in the company’s other-products category. Those gains were partly offset by higher commodity costs, lower sales and higher precious-metals costs. Excluding the $18 million reimbursement benefit, gross margin improved about 50 basis points sequentially from the first quarter.
Income from operations increased 19% to $141.3 million. Adjusted operating expenses were $99.3 million, compared with $97.5 million in the prior-year quarter. The company’s effective tax rate was 16.5%, versus 17.2% a year earlier.
Audio and Other Products Expand Non-automotive revenue accounted for approximately 14% of total company sales during the quarter. Premium audio revenue rose 16% to $51.7 million, driven by powered systems and the Onkyo brand, according to Vice President of Finance and CFO Kevin Nash.
Revenue in the other-products category increased 12% to $39.4 million. The category includes aerospace products, fire-protection devices, medical technologies, biometric solutions and automotive aftermarket products. Nash said growth was led by aerospace products, biometrics and accessory revenues.
Chief Operating Officer and Chief Technology Officer Neil Boehm said more than 75% of Gentex’s automotive product launches during the quarter incorporated advanced features, including HomeLink, Full Display Mirror, in-cabin monitoring and advanced exterior auto-dimming mirrors.
The company began shipping Full Display Mirror products on the Jeep Recon and Infiniti QX65, as well as to McLaren for its W1, Toyota for the Century SUV, and Subaru for the Trailseeker and Uncharted nameplates. Gentex also began shipping driver-monitoring and in-cabin-monitoring systems to BMW for the iX3 and Kia for the EV2.
Morocco Facility Planned for European Demand Gentex said it is establishing a manufacturing plant in Morocco to support European customers seeking more localized production. The company has signed a letter of intent, selected a location and received Moroccan government support for creating the local entity. Initial customer requests could include base electrochromic mirrors and advanced electronic modules, with a targeted start of production in 2028.
Downing said the move was driven by European customers’ requests for local support for vehicles built and sold in the region. He said Gentex has received several customer commitments and expects the plant initially to transition final assembly work from the United States before potentially supporting existing and new programs.
The company said its core technologies would continue to come from existing facilities and that it does not expect the Moroccan expansion to create a large increase in operating expenses or excess capacity at its core plants.
Gentex also said it expects to announce its first advanced electronics contract-manufacturing award by the end of the next quarter, with production targeted for late 2028 or early 2029. Downing said the initial award could represent $100 million to $200 million in revenue, with additional opportunities potentially becoming larger after 2029.
Guidance Maintained for Revenue, Updated for Margins and Spending Gentex maintained its full-year 2026 consolidated revenue outlook of $2.65 billion to $2.75 billion. The company raised its gross-margin forecast to 34.5% to 35.5%, lowered expected operating expenses to $405 million to $415 million, and reduced its estimated tax rate to 16% to 17%.
The company also lowered projected capital expenditures to $115 million to $125 million, while maintaining depreciation and amortization guidance of $100 million to $110 million. Gentex continues to expect 2027 revenue of $2.8 billion to $2.9 billion.
Management’s production assumptions call for global light-vehicle production to decline about 2% in the third quarter and 3% for full-year 2026. For 2027, global production is expected to be relatively flat, although Gentex anticipates continued weakness in its primary automotive markets of North America, Europe, Japan and Korea.
Downing said the company expects second-half growth to be supported by additional Full Display Mirror launches and increasing production of driver-monitoring and in-cabin-monitoring systems. He also cited future contributions from dimmable visors, sunroofs, fourth-generation Full Display Mirror products and expanded premium-audio offerings.
Gentex generated preliminary operating cash flow of $180.9 million in the second quarter, up from $166.1 million a year earlier. Capital expenditures fell to $19.2 million from $31.1 million, resulting in free cash flow of $161.7 million, up about 20% year over year. During the quarter, the company repurchased 2.7 million shares for $66 million at an average price of $24.48 per share.

A quick glance at the company's year-to-date performance in comparison to the rest of the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector should help us answer this question.
Gentex is a member of the Auto-Tires-Trucks sector. This group includes 104 individual stocks and currently holds a Zacks Sector Rank of #12. The Zacks Sector Rank considers 16 different sector groups. The average Zacks Rank of the individual stocks within the groups is measured, and the sectors are listed from best to worst.
The Zacks Rank is a proven model that highlights a variety of stocks with the right characteristics to outperform the market over the next one to three months. The system emphasizes earnings estimate revisions and favors companies with improving earnings outlooks. Gentex is currently sporting a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy).
Within the past quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for GNTX's full-year earnings has moved 1.9% higher. This means that analyst sentiment is stronger and the stock's earnings outlook is improving.
According to our latest data, GNTX has moved about 4.3% on a year-to-date basis. Meanwhile, stocks in the Auto-Tires-Trucks group have lost about 9.3% on average. This means that Gentex is outperforming the sector as a whole this year.

Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) appears an attractive pick, as it has been recently upgraded to a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). This rating change essentially reflects an upward trend in earnings estimates -- one of the most powerful forces impacting stock prices.
A company's changing earnings picture is at the core of the Zacks rating. The system tracks the Zacks Consensus Estimate -- the consensus measure of EPS estimates from the sell-side analysts covering the stock -- for the current and following years.
Individual investors often find it hard to make decisions based on rating upgrades by Wall Street analysts, since these are mostly driven by subjective factors that are hard to see and measure in real time. In these situations, the Zacks rating system comes in handy because of the power of a changing earnings picture in determining near-term stock price movements.
Therefore, the Zacks rating upgrade for Gentex basically reflects positivity about its earnings outlook that could translate into buying pressure and an increase in its stock price.
Most Powerful Force Impacting Stock PricesThe change in a company's future earnings potential, as reflected in earnings estimate revisions, has proven to be strongly correlated with the near-term price movement of its stock. That's partly because of the influence of institutional investors that use earnings and earnings estimates for calculating the fair value of a company's shares. An increase or decrease in earnings estimates in their valuation models simply results in higher or lower fair value for a stock, and institutional investors typically buy or sell it. Their transaction of large amounts of shares then leads to price movement for the stock.
Fundamentally speaking, rising earnings estimates and the consequent rating upgrade for Gentex imply an improvement in the company's underlying business. Investors should show their appreciation for this improving business trend by pushing the stock higher.
Harnessing the Power of Earnings Estimate RevisionsEmpirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock movements, so it could be truly rewarding if such revisions are tracked for making an investment decision. Here is where the tried-and-tested Zacks Rank stock-rating system plays an important role, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions.
The Zacks Rank stock-rating system, which uses four factors related to earnings estimates to classify stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive externally-audited track record, with Zacks Rank #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here >>>> .
Earnings Estimate Revisions for GentexFor the fiscal year ending December 2026, this maker of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and other products is expected to earn $1.97 per share, which is unchanged compared with the year-ago reported number.
Analysts have been steadily raising their estimates for Gentex. Over the past three months, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the company has increased 1.9%.
Bottom LineUnlike the overly optimistic Wall Street analysts whose rating systems tend to be weighted toward favorable recommendations, the Zacks rating system maintains an equal proportion of "buy" and "sell" ratings for its entire universe of more than 4,000 stocks at any point in time. Irrespective of market conditions, only the top 5% of the Zacks-covered stocks get a "Strong Buy" rating and the next 15% get a "Buy" rating. So, the placement of a stock in the top 20% of the Zacks-covered stocks indicates its superior earnings estimate revision feature, making it a solid candidate for producing market-beating returns in the near term.

Here at Zacks, we focus on our proven ranking system, which places an emphasis on earnings estimates and estimate revisions, to find winning stocks. But we also understand that investors develop their own strategies, so we are constantly looking at the latest trends in value, growth, and momentum to find strong companies for our readers.
Looking at the history of these trends, perhaps none is more beloved than value investing. This strategy simply looks to identify companies that are being undervalued by the broader market. Value investors use a variety of methods, including tried-and-true valuation metrics, to find these stocks.
In addition to the Zacks Rank, investors looking for stocks with specific traits can utilize our Style Scores system. Of course, value investors will be most interested in the system's "Value" category. Stocks with "A" grades for Value and high Zacks Ranks are among the best value stocks available at any given moment.
One company to watch right now is Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) . GNTX is currently sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and an A for Value. The stock is trading with P/E ratio of 15.03 right now. For comparison, its industry sports an average P/E of 18.63. Over the past 52 weeks, GNTX's Forward P/E has been as high as 15.46 and as low as 10.60, with a median of 13.03.
Another valuation metric that we should highlight is GNTX's P/B ratio of 2.59. The P/B is a method of comparing a stock's market value to its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. GNTX's current P/B looks attractive when compared to its industry's average P/B of 4.19. Over the past year, GNTX's P/B has been as high as 2.97 and as low as 1.89, with a median of 2.41.
If you're looking for another solid Automotive - Original Equipment value stock, take a look at Visteon (VC - Free Report) . VC is a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy) stock with a Value score of A.
Visteon is currently trading with a Forward P/E ratio of 13.69 while its PEG ratio sits at 2.73. Both of the company's metrics compare favorably to its industry's average P/E of 18.63 and average PEG ratio of 0.97.
Over the past year, VC's P/E has been as high as 14.33, as low as 8.02, with a median of 10.34; its PEG ratio has been as high as 4.75, as low as 0.35, with a median of 0.40 during the same time period.
Visteon also has a P/B ratio of 2.27 compared to its industry's price-to-book ratio of 4.19. Over the past year, its P/B ratio has been as high as 2.34, as low as 1.31, with a median of 1.87.
These are only a few of the key metrics included in Gentex and Visteon strong Value grade, but they help show that the stocks are likely undervalued right now. When factoring in the strength of its earnings outlook, GNTX and VC look like an impressive value stock at the moment.
For new and old investors, taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals. Zacks Premium provides lots of different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
It also includes access to the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores is a unique set of guidelines that rates stocks based on three popular investing types, and were developed as complementary indicators for the Zacks Rank. This combination helps investors choose securities with the highest chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Each stock is given an alphabetic rating of A, B, C, D or F based on their value, growth, and momentum qualities. With this system, an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on, meaning the better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFor value investors, it's all about finding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value before the broader market catches on. The Value Style Score utilizes ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to help pick out the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you want a combination of all three Style Scores, then the VGM Score will be your friend. It rates each stock on their combined weighted styles, helping you find the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum. It's also one of the best indicators to use with the Zacks Rank.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
#1 (Strong Buy) stocks have produced an unmatched +23.94% average annual return since 1988, which is more than double the S&P 500's performance over the same time frame. However, the Zacks Rank examines a ton of stocks, and there can be more than 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, and another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
This totals more than 800 top-rated stocks, and it can be overwhelming to try and pick the best stocks for you and your portfolio.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

Company snapshotGentex Corporation's core products include electrochromic automatic-dimming rearview mirrors, automotive electronics, dimmable glass, and fire protection devices, with automotive products representing the primary revenue stream.The company generates revenue by designing, manufacturing, and supplying advanced vision and safety solutions to original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), automotive suppliers, and commercial building operators.Key customers are global automotive OEMs, aftermarket accessory buyers, and commercial clients in the fire protection and aerospace sectors.Gentex Corporation is a leading supplier of digital vision and safety technologies for the automotive and building industries, operating at scale with over 6,100 employees and annual revenues exceeding $2.6 billion. The company leverages proprietary electrochromic and sensor technologies to address the safety, convenience, and connectivity needs of OEM and commercial customers. Its diversified product portfolio and established relationships with major automotive manufacturers underpin its competitive position in the auto-parts sector.
What this transaction means for investorsThe shares sold recently by Gentex director Brian Walker were part of a pre-planned distribution. It’s common for a company to distribute shares of its stock as compensation to its independent board members, and directors often sell these shares periodically for a variety of reasons. The transaction does not appear to reflect the director’s sentiment about the company, as he still owns a substantial stake.
Gentex seems to have a lot working in its favor right now. It produces a variety of technologies used in automotive production, and the inclusion of these products is growing. Its Full Display Mirror technology continues to gain adoption in both OEM and aftermarket installations. The company’s margins have been stable, and it has upgraded its revenue outlook for the year. Also, the company has a history of solid cash flow and share repurchases.
Note, however, that Gentex’s success is tied to the production volume of the automotive industry, which is cyclical. It depends on economic conditions, interest rates, and supply chain disruptions, among other factors.
Investors shouldn’t read too much into this transaction. The company’s long-term outlook depends upon its ability to grow the integration of its technology. Gentex’s exposure to the cyclical automotive industry creates risks for investors, but long-term investors with a well-diversified portfolio may still find the stock attractive.

Gentex (GNTX - Free Report) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.48 per share, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.44 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.43 per share a year ago. These figures are adjusted for non-recurring items.
This quarterly report represents an earnings surprise of +8.28%. A quarter ago, it was expected that this maker of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and other products would post earnings of $0.43 per share when it actually produced earnings of $0.43, delivering no surprise.
Over the last four quarters, the company has surpassed consensus EPS estimates two times.
Gentex, which belongs to the Zacks Automotive - Original Equipment industry, posted revenues of $675.44 million for the quarter ended March 2026, surpassing the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 4.36%. This compares to year-ago revenues of $576.77 million. The company has topped consensus revenue estimates two times over the last four quarters.
The sustainability of the stock's immediate price movement based on the recently-released numbers and future earnings expectations will mostly depend on management's commentary on the earnings call.
Gentex shares have lost about 1% since the beginning of the year versus the S&P 500's gain of 3.8%.
What's Next for Gentex?While Gentex has underperformed the market so far this year, the question that comes to investors' minds is: what's next for the stock?
There are no easy answers to this key question, but one reliable measure that can help investors address this is the company's earnings outlook. Not only does this include current consensus earnings expectations for the coming quarter(s), but also how these expectations have changed lately.
Empirical research shows a strong correlation between near-term stock movements and trends in earnings estimate revisions. Investors can track such revisions by themselves or rely on a tried-and-tested rating tool like the Zacks Rank, which has an impressive track record of harnessing the power of earnings estimate revisions.
Ahead of this earnings release, the estimate revisions trend for Gentex was unfavorable. While the magnitude and direction of estimate revisions could change following the company's just-released earnings report, the current status translates into a Zacks Rank #4 (Sell) for the stock. So, the shares are expected to underperform the market in the near future. You can see the complete list of today's Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here.
It will be interesting to see how estimates for the coming quarters and the current fiscal year change in the days ahead. The current consensus EPS estimate is $0.49 on $663.59 million in revenues for the coming quarter and $1.92 on $2.64 billion in revenues for the current fiscal year.
Investors should be mindful of the fact that the outlook for the industry can have a material impact on the performance of the stock as well. In terms of the Zacks Industry Rank, Automotive - Original Equipment is currently in the bottom 28% of the 250 plus Zacks industries. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than 2 to 1.
One other stock from the same industry, Allison Transmission (ALSN - Free Report) , is yet to report results for the quarter ended March 2026. The results are expected to be released on May 4.
This automatic transmission maker is expected to post quarterly earnings of $2.54 per share in its upcoming report, which represents a year-over-year change of +13.9%. The consensus EPS estimate for the quarter has been revised 2.9% higher over the last 30 days to the current level.
Allison Transmission's revenues are expected to be $1.38 billion, up 79.7% from the year-ago quarter.

While investors closely watch year-over-year changes in headline numbers -- revenue and earnings -- and how they compare to Wall Street expectations to determine their next course of action, some key metrics always provide a better insight into a company's underlying performance.

Gentex's focus on innovation and integration into essential vehicle and building systems supports its competitive positioning and consistent financial performance.
What this transaction means for investorsNorth Point Portfolio Managers’ sale of Gentex catches my eye for a number of reasons. First, the firm has held its Gentex position since 2010 and has numerous holdings that are decades old. They like to think over the very long term. I’d argue that this fact alone makes Gentex’s liquidation noteworthy, as it is a somewhat rare move for them. However, we don’t know the firm’s reasoning, so shareholders shouldn’t overreact.
Second, the sale was a full liquidation. Gentex went from a 1.3% position in the portfolio to gone, so this wasn’t a gradual unwinding. While it had been selling a few thousand shares each quarter over the last few years as Gentex stock declined from $35 to $25, its final 324,273-share sale was massive in comparison.
Lastly, Gentex just reported earnings this morning, and they looked excellent. GNTX shares are up 6% after sales rose 17% in Q1 and the company guided for 11% revenue growth in 2026. While most of this growth is tied to its recent acquisition of VOXX, it nonetheless suggests the two companies are finally integrating better.
While North Point’s sale could stem from the VOXX acquisition risk, longer-term threats to mirrors being replaced in new high-tech cars, or simply a lack of sales growth over the last decade, Gentex trades near a decade-long low valuation. Trading at just 12 times forward earnings, with a 2% dividend yield, no debt, and a history of buying back 3% of its shares outstanding annually over the last decade, Gentex looks like a discounted steady-Eddie stock for contrarian investors to consider, but it likely won’t be a 10-bagger anytime soon.

Key Takeaways GNTX Q1 EPS of 48 cents beat estimates; revenue rose 17% to $675.4M, driven by VOXX and product mix.Gentex saw strong demand for advanced features, offset by lower vehicle output; China sales fell on tariffs.GNTX raised its 2026 revenue outlook to between $2.65 billion and $2.75 billion on strong results. Gentex Corporation (GNTX - Free Report) reported first-quarter 2026 adjusted earnings of 48 cents per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of 44 cents by 8.28%. The figure increased 11.6% from 43 cents a year ago.
Net sales were $675 million, which topped the consensus mark of $647 million by 4.36%. Revenues rose 17.1% from $577 million in the year-ago quarter, aided by contributions from VOXX and a richer mix of advanced features.
GNTX’s Core Growth Driven by Advanced Feature StrengthIn the first quarter of 2026, Gentex earned $586.8 million from its core business (excluding VOXX), while VOXX contributed $88.6 million. Strong demand for its advanced features across different regions helped offset the slowdown in global vehicle production.
During the quarter, revenues in North America rose about 6% from last year, even though vehicle production in the region declined 2%. Growth was supported by higher shipments of Full Display Mirrors. In Europe, Japan and Korea, results improved due to a better product mix, supported by the ramp-up of an in-cabin monitoring system and continued demand for Full Display Mirrors.
In China, revenues were approximately $28 million, down 29% from the previous quarter, primarily due to tariffs and counter-tariff impacts.
Gentex Breaks Out Sales Mix and Unit Shipment TrendsIn the first quarter of 2026, Gentex Automotive reported sales of $566.2 million, up slightly from $563.9 million in the year-ago quarter. Sales increased modestly despite lower vehicle production and reduced basic mirror shipments, supported by a favorable product mix and new technology launches.
Total auto-dimming mirror shipments declined 6% year over year to 10.85 million units. North American mirror units were up 1% to 3.67 million, while international mirror units fell 9% to 7.18 million.
In the Other category, net sales rose to $20.6 million from $12.9 million, driven by higher aircraft window sales and gains in fire protection and biometrics. VOXX contributed $88.6 million, and the acquired business has now become profitable as integration progresses.
GNTX Margins Improve, Though Tariffs Pressure CostsIn the first quarter of 2026, total gross margin improved to 33.8% from 33.2% in the year-ago quarter, while core Gentex gross margin rose 80 basis points to 34%. The increase was mainly driven by better efficiency and a favorable product mix, partially offset by tariff costs and higher raw material prices.
Operating expenses totaled $105 million, mainly due to the VOXX acquisition and $2.8 million in impairment charges. The operating income totaled $123.7 million.
The company reported a total other loss of $5.6 million compared with other income of $0.6 million in the year-ago quarter, mainly due to lower investment income, impairment charges and credit loss reserves tied to certain technology investments and loans. The effective tax rate for the quarter was 16.6%.
Gentex Highlights Capital Returns and Balance SheetGentex repurchased 3.3 million shares during the first quarter for $71.6 million at an average price of $22.01 per share. As of March 31, 2026, the company had approximately 32.6 million shares remaining under its repurchase authorization.
Liquidity improved during the quarter. As of March 31, 2026, GNTX’s cash and cash equivalents were $164.8 million compared with $145.6 million as of Dec. 31, 2025. Short-term investments increased to $10.3 million from $5.4 million.
Working capital also increased, with accounts receivable at $419.5 million and inventories at $523.5 million. Overall, Gentex ended the quarter with total assets of $3 billion and shareholders’ equity of $2.5 billion.
GNTX Raises 2026 Revenue Outlook, Updates 2027 TargetBased on updated vehicle production forecasts and strong first-quarter results, Gentex raised its full-year 2026 revenue outlook to $2.65-$2.75 billion from the previous estimate of $2.6-$2.7 billion.
The company has maintained its gross margin guidance at 34-35% and reiterated operating expense expectations (excluding one-time costs) of $410-$420 million. It continues to expect a tax rate of 16-18% and capital spending of $125-$140 million.
For 2027, Gentex expects revenues in the range of $2.8-$2.9 billion compared with the previous guidance of $2.75-$2.85 billion. The outlook is based on current tariff assumptions as of April 24, 2026, and includes ongoing cost pressures from materials such as precious metals, petroleum-based products and memory components.
The Supreme Court’s decision to invalidate IEEPA tariffs has not been reflected in any potential refunds. About $15 million of tariff-related costs were included in inventory as of March 31, 2026.

It doesn't matter your age or experience: taking full advantage of the stock market and investing with confidence are common goals for all investors. Luckily, Zacks Premium offers several different ways to do both.
The research service features daily updates of the Zacks Rank and Zacks Industry Rank, full access to the Zacks #1 Rank List, Equity Research reports, and Premium stock screens, all of which will help you become a smarter, more confident investor.
Zacks Premium also includes the Zacks Style Scores.
What are the Zacks Style Scores? The Zacks Style Scores, developed alongside the Zacks Rank, are complementary indicators that rate stocks based on three widely-followed investing methodologies; they also help investors pick stocks with the best chances of beating the market over the next 30 days.
Based on their value, growth, and momentum characteristics, each stock is assigned a rating of A, B, C, D, or F. The better the score, the better chance the stock will outperform; an A is better than a B, a B is better than a C, and so on.
The Style Scores are broken down into four categories:
Value ScoreFinding good stocks at good prices, and discovering which companies are trading under their true value, are what value investors like to focus on. So, the Value Style Score takes into account ratios like P/E, PEG, Price/Sales, Price/Cash Flow, and a host of other multiples to highlight the most attractive and discounted stocks.
Growth ScoreGrowth investors are more concerned with a stock's future prospects, and the overall financial health and strength of a company. Thus, the Growth Style Score analyzes characteristics like projected and historic earnings, sales, and cash flow to find stocks that will see sustainable growth over time.
Momentum ScoreMomentum investors, who live by the saying "the trend is your friend," are most interested in taking advantage of upward or downward trends in a stock's price or earnings outlook. Utilizing one-week price change and the monthly percentage change in earnings estimates, among other factors, the Momentum Style Score can help determine favorable times to buy high-momentum stocks.
VGM ScoreIf you like to use all three kinds of investing, then the VGM Score is for you. It's a combination of all Style Scores, and is an important indicator to use with the Zacks Rank. The VGM Score rates each stock on their shared weighted styles, narrowing down the companies with the most attractive value, best growth forecast, and most promising momentum.
How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank A proprietary stock-rating model, the Zacks Rank utilizes the power of earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings outlook, to help investors create a successful portfolio.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance. But the model rates a large number of stocks, and there are over 200 companies with a Strong Buy rank, plus another 600 with a #2 (Buy) rank, on any given day.
But it can feel overwhelming to pick the right stocks for you and your investing goals with over 800 top-rated stocks to choose from.
That's where the Style Scores come in.
To have the best chance of big returns, you'll want to always consider stocks with a Zacks Rank #1 or #2 that also have Style Scores of A or B, which will give you the highest probability of success. If you're looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, it's important they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
As mentioned above, the Scores are designed to work with the Zacks Rank, so any change to a company's earnings outlook should be a deciding factor when picking which stocks to buy.
A stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, for instance, even one with Scores of A and B, will still have a declining earnings forecast, and a greater chance its share price will fall too.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.

How Style Scores Work with the Zacks Rank The Zacks Rank, which is a proprietary stock-rating model, employs earnings estimate revisions, or changes to a company's earnings expectations, to make building a winning portfolio easier.
Investors can count on the Zacks Rank's success, with #1 (Strong Buy) stocks producing an unmatched +23.7% average annual return since 1988, more than double the S&P 500's performance.

If you find yourself looking at stocks with a #3 (Hold) rank, make sure they have Scores of A or B as well to ensure as much upside potential as possible.
The direction of a stock's earnings estimate revisions should always be a key factor when choosing which stocks to buy, since the Scores were created to work together with the Zacks Rank.
For instance, a stock with a #4 (Sell) or #5 (Strong Sell) rating, even one that boasts Scores of A and B, still has a downward-trending earnings forecast, and a much greater likelihood its share price will decline as well.
Thus, the more stocks you own with a #1 or #2 Rank and Scores of A or B, the better.
