GNTX Stock Recent News

Investors looking for stocks in the Automotive - Original Equipment sector might want to consider either Driven Brands Holdings Inc. (DRVN) or Gentex (GNTX). But which of these two stocks presents investors with the better value opportunity right now?

Gentex (GNTX) reports lower-than-expected second-quarter results and expects 2024 net sales in the range of $2.40-$2.50 billion, down from the previous estimate of $2.45-$2.55 billion.

While the top- and bottom-line numbers for Gentex (GNTX) give a sense of how the business performed in the quarter ended June 2024, it could be worth looking at how some of its key metrics compare to Wall Street estimates and year-ago values.

Gentex (GNTX) came out with quarterly earnings of $0.37 per share, missing the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.52 per share. This compares to earnings of $0.47 per share a year ago.

ZEELAND, Mich., July 26, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX), a leading supplier of digital vision, connected car, dimmable glass and fire protection technologies, today reported financial results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.

Gentex Corporation is a leading automotive supplier focusing on digital vision, connected car, and dimmable glass products. The company's revenue and profitability are on the rise, with expected growth in light vehicle production likely to push results higher, despite a recent drop in shares. Analysts anticipate revenue and earnings growth for the company in the second quarter. But until new data comes out, a 'hold' rating makes the most sense.

Despite global auto sales softening, Gentex's leverage to ADAS mandates and higher-value products like Full Display Mirrors positions it as a more reliable option in the volatile auto components market. Management is looking beyond its core mirrors business with new products such as dimmable surfaces, in-cabin air quality monitors, and smart home solutions, broadening its market reach and growth potential. I believe that improving the mix could drive an EPS beat in the upcoming Q2 earnings report, but I'm concerned that a weakening auto market could drag down expectations for 2H'24.

ZEELAND, Mich., July 01, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX), the Zeeland, Michigan-based supplier of digital vision, connected car, dimmable glass, and fire protection technologies, is pleased to announce that it will release its second quarter 2024 financial results on Friday, July 26, before the market opens.

Gentex's (GNTX) first-quarter 2024 earnings match the Zacks Consensus Estimate, while revenues miss the same.
