Pro forma diluted EPS was $2.76, up 39% YoY. The company raised full-year 2026 guidance to $8.15B revenue and $10.80 pro forma EPS (from prior guidance), with 61.0% gross margin and 29.0% operating margin. Cash position: $4.1B (cash + marketable securities); dividend of $1.05/share scheduled for December 2024; $407M remaining on $500M share repurchase program. Key drivers: Fitness +16%, Outdoor +20%, Marine +16% revenue growth; Auto OEM declined 20%. Free cash flow was $293M in Q3; $1.04B YTD.
Why this rating
Strong earnings beat and raised guidance are positive, but Garmin's $34.2B market cap makes a single quarter's outperformance and modest FY guidance raise a meaningful but not transformational event. Margin expansion and cash generation are solid operational wins. Auto OEM weakness is a concern. Event is significant execution, not business-altering.
