Key Factors to Note

Garmin’s expanding portfolio is expected to have benefited its top-line growth in the third quarter of 2023.

In the fitness segment, broad-based growth across all product categories is expected to have aided its revenue growth in the quarter under review.

The Zacks Consensus estimate for the Fitness segment is pegged at $283.4 million, indicating 1.2% year-over-year growth.

Strong momentum across the Aviation segment, driven by original equipment manufacturer (OEM) product categories, is likely to have aided its performance during the third quarter.

The consensus estimate suggests Aviation revenues of $197.3 million, up 4.9% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

Further, Garmin’s growing shipment of domain controllers is likely to have aided the Auto OEM revenues during the quarter to be reported.

The consensus mark for Auto OEM revenues is pegged at $91.4 million, indicating 32.2% year-over-year growth.

Moreover, the company’s strong efforts toward bolstering its Outdoor segment on the back of its robust key offerings are likely to have aided its performance.

The consensus estimate indicates Outdoor revenues to grow 34% year over year to $456.1 million.

However, macroeconomic uncertainties, geopolitical concerns, supply chain constraints, seasonality and weak personal navigation device market are expected to have acted as headwinds for the upcoming results.

Additionally, sluggishness in the marine market due to increasing headwinds caused by higher interest rates and growing economic uncertainties is expected to have affected the Marine segment of the company in the underlying quarter.

The consensus mark for Marine revenues is pegged at $179 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 8.9%.
