Estimates — analyst targets and a simplified DCF, not investment advice.
Ten ratios that matter, each compared against its sector median and average — so you can see whether a number is rich or cheap relative to peers in the same sector.
Gentex Corporation manufactures electronic technologies and components for several markets, with automotive remaining the largest source of revenue. Its portfolio includes interior and exterior auto-dimming mirrors, Full Display Mirror, HomeLink, driver and cabin monitoring systems, as well as premium audio products through Klipsch and Onkyo, aviation and fire protection products, medical technologies, biometric solutions, and aftermarket accessories. In fiscal Q2 2026, non-automotive activities accounted for approximately 14% of revenue, meaning the automotive business continued to represent about 86% of sales.
In fiscal Q2 2026, revenue was $651.3 million, down 1% from $657.9 million in the comparable period and approximately $30 million below management’s expectations at the beginning of the quarter. Automotive sales were $560.1 million, down 3%, while premium audio sales increased 16% to $51.7 million, and other products increased 12% to $39.4 million. Growth in Powered Systems, Onkyo, aviation products, and biometrics therefore partially offset weaker core mirror shipments in Europe and China.
Gross profit was $241.0 million in fiscal Q2 2026, and gross margin was 37% versus 34.2% in the comparable period, supported by $18 million in IEEPA tariff reimbursements and product mix. Net income increased 19% to $114.7 million, and diluted earnings per share increased 26% to $0.54, while free cash flow reached $161.7 million, an increase of approximately 20%. On a trailing twelve-month basis in 2026, the company recorded revenue of $2.6 billion, gross profit of $919.3 million, and net income of $407.1 million.
The average analyst price target is $26 with a “Buy” consensus, and the highest and lowest targets also match at $26, so the available data do not provide a wide range reflecting differing analyst scenarios. This target falls within the 52-week range of $20.48–$29.38; it is approximately 11.5% below the top of the range and approximately 27% above its bottom, while the risks of the decline in China, weak automotive production, and fiscal Q2 2026 margin’s partial reliance on IEEPA reimbursements remain important factors when assessing the positive consensus.

Gentex is driving growth through Full Display Mirror, driver and cabin monitoring systems, and dimmable technologies, in addition to Klipsch, Onkyo, aviation, and biometric solutions. In fiscal Q2 2026, premium audio revenue increased 16% to $51.7 million, and other products increased 12% to $39.4 million. Non-automotive activities represented approximately 14% of quarterly revenue, providing the company with a growing source of diversification, although the automotive business remains dominant.
Full Display Mirror was one of the most prominent drivers of advanced launches in fiscal Q2 2026, with shipments beginning on the Jeep Recon, Infiniti QX65, McLaren W1, Toyota Century SUV, Subaru Trailseeker, and Uncharted. The company expects its shipments during fiscal 2026 to increase by 200 thousand to 400 thousand units over the previous year. Management is counting on adding other automakers and models during the second half of fiscal 2026 to support revenue and increase content per vehicle.
Gross margin increased to 37% from 34.2% in the comparable period, but $18 million in IEEPA reimbursements reduced cost of goods sold in fiscal Q2 2026. Excluding this impact, the margin improved by approximately 50 basis points compared with fiscal Q1 2026 due to product mix, operational discipline, and improved profitability of other products. Management raised fiscal 2026 margin guidance to 34.5%–35.5%, while warning about precious metals, electronic component shortages, and other tariffs.
Automated analysis for informational purposes only — not investment advice.
Gentex’s revenue in China declined 20% year over year in fiscal Q2 2026 under pressure from tariff-related disruptions and lower core interior mirror sales. Management estimated China revenue at approximately $100 million in fiscal 2026, compared with nearly $150 million in the previous year and $200 million in the year before that. It also assumed that the decline would continue in fiscal 2027, so targeted growth depends more heavily on Full Display Mirror, monitoring systems, audio, and other products.
Gentex signed a letter of intent, selected a site in Morocco, and obtained government support to establish the entity, with production targeted to begin in 2028. The project came in response to European customers’ demand for local manufacturing, and initial orders include core electrochromic mirrors and advanced electronic modules. Management said it has several customer commitments and that the first phase will transfer final assembly of certain products from the United States to Morocco, while core technologies will continue to be supplied from its existing facilities.
Cash flow from operations was $180.9 million and free cash flow was $161.7 million in fiscal Q2 2026, with free cash flow increasing by approximately 20%. The company repurchased 2.7 million shares for $66 million during the quarter, and total first-half repurchases reached 5.9 million shares for $137.6 million. As of June 30, 2026, it had $233.4 million in cash and cash equivalents, in addition to remaining authorization to repurchase approximately 29.9 million shares. Management also lowered its fiscal 2026 capital expenditure estimate to $115–125 million.
