Gentex is a market leader in auto-dimming glass, boasting strong profitability, no long-term debt, and historically low valuation multiples. GNTX is expanding beyond automotive mirrors, integrating VOXX, and launching new products in biometrics and smart home safety. Despite declining auto-dimming mirror volumes and China headwinds, GNTX raised 2026 revenue guidance and maintains robust free cash flow and capital returns.

Gentex is positioned for a re-rating as its growth and earnings profile shifts, driven by market share gains and the VOXX acquisition. GNTX delivered strong Q1 results, expanding gross margin by 200bps and achieving organic revenue growth despite declining global light vehicle production. Guidance for 2027 revenue has been raised to $2.8–$2.9 billion, with expectations for continued margin expansion and EPS growth to $2.30 by 2027.

CVNA tops Q1 estimates as record vehicle sales and strong revenue growth drive profits, despite a dip in per-unit margins.
