Key Factors to Note

Garmin’s expanding portfolio is expected to have been the key catalyst for its top-line growth in the second quarter of 2024.

In the fitness segment, strong demand for advanced wearables and its robust lineup of recently introduced wellness products like Forerunner 165 are expected to have aided its revenue growth in the quarter under review.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for the Fitness segment is pegged at $378.82 million, indicating 13.1% year-over-year growth.

Strong momentum across its wearables offerings and inReach SOS service, Garmin Response, is expected to have positively impacted the Outdoor segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

The consensus estimate for Outdoor revenues is pegged at $472.3 million, suggesting growth of 5.4% year over year.

Strength in the Marine segment driven by its JL Audio business and its robust portfolio of newly launched products, like the GPSMAP 16 family chartplotters, Force trolling motor and Panoptix PS70 deepwater live sonar, is likely to have boosted the company’s performance in the second quarter.

The consensus estimate for Marine revenues stands at $258.52 million, up 19.8% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

Growing momentum across OEM equipment categories, driven by increased demand in private air travel, is expected to have bolstered the Aviation segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter.

The consensus mark for Aviation revenues is pegged at $218.13 million, indicating year-over-year growth of 0.3%.

The company’s expanding market share and customer base for domain controllers, owing to its increased shipments to BMW, is likely to have boosted Auto OEM revenues during the second quarter.

The consensus mark for Auto OEM revenues is pegged at $150.94 million, indicating 44.4% year-over-year growth.

However, sluggishness in the personal navigation device market is expected to have been a headwind for the company.

Rising macroeconomic uncertainties and inflationary pressure may have been major concerns.
