Gentex (NASDAQ:GNTX) issues earnings results.

Gentex (NASDAQ:GNTX) issues earnings results. Gentex (NASDAQ:GNTX - Get Free Report) released its quarterly earnings data on Friday. The auto parts company reported $0.47 earnings per share (EPS) for the quarter, missing analysts' consensus estimates of $0.50 by ($0.03), FiscalAI reports. The business had revenue of $647.71 million for the quarter, compared to the consensus estimate of $669.69 million. Gentex had a net margin of 15.50% and a return on equity of 16.78%. Gentex's revenue for the quarter was down 1.1% on a year-over-year basis. During the same quarter in the prior year, the business posted $0.46 earnings per share. Here are the key takeaways from Gentex's conference call: * Third-quarter results weakened year over year: revenue fell to $647.7 million from $655.2 million, GAAP EPS declined to $0.43 from $0.46, and gross margin contracted to 33.4% from 34.4% due to precious-metal inflation, unfavorable mix, and lower operating leverage. * Gentex lowered its 2026 outlook to approximately $2.65 billion in revenue and 34%-34.5% gross margin, citing delayed customer launches, the Volkswagen program loss, China weakness, and an expected $10 million-$15 million of additional fourth-quarter costs. * Management maintained its 2027 revenue outlook of $2.8 billion-$2.9 billion, representing 6%-9% growth despite anticipated declines in vehicle production across its primary markets. Growth is expected from Full Display Mirror, driver and in-cabin monitoring systems, higher content per vehicle, premium audio, and customer diversification. * Electronic-component and precious-metal pressures remain significant, with DDR memory and raw circuit boards constrained and some component prices reportedly rising 8-10 times from earlier-year levels. Recovery from customers may lag cost increases, while redesign efforts are not expected to fully address the issue until 2027 or later. * Diversification continued to gain momentum, with non-automotive revenue up approximately 17% and premium audio revenue up 27% to $54.7 million. Gentex also secured its first PCBA award, expected to generate roughly $180 million in annual revenue beginning in 2029, and repurchased $132.6 million of shares during the quarter. Gentex trading down 6.7%. NASDAQ:GNTX traded down $1.45 during trading hours on Friday, reaching $20.29. 971,378 shares of the company were exchanged, compared to its average volume of 2,399,025.
