Read MoreHide Full Article
Garmin Ltd. (GRMN - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2020 results on Oct 28.
For the third quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $907.4 million, indicating a decline of 2.9% from the prior-year quarter’s reported figure.
Further, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings stands at $1.01 per share, suggesting a decline of 20.5% from the year-ago reported figure.
Notably, the company surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average surprise being 52.98%.
Garmin’s strength across the fitness and marine segments is expected to have benefited its third-quarter performance.
Solid momentum across the company’s advanced wearables and cycling products are likely to have continued aiding the performance of the fitness segment during the to-be-reported quarter. Further, contributions from the Firstbeat Analytics acquisition are expected to have benefited the segment.
Coming to the marine segment, robust chartplotters and advanced sonar technology are expected to have contributed well to the segment’s top-line growth in the quarter under review. Also, the growing popularity of boating and fishing during the ongoing pandemic is likely to have aided the Marine segment’s third-quarter performance.
However, disruptions led by the coronavirus outbreak are anticipated tohave affectedthe aviation segment in the third quarter. Uncertainties related to the ongoing pandemic are likely to have continued hurting OEM partners and retrofit activities.
Additionally, the shutdown of automotive factories, owing to the coronavirus pandemic, is expected to have continued impacting the auto segment negatively. Nevertheless, the strengthening momentum across Specialty RV and truck categories isanticipated to have contributed well.
Further, robust adventure watches are expected to have benefited the performance of Garmin’s outdoor segment in the quarter under review. Also, the integration of solar harvesting technology in adventure smartwatches is expected to have remained a tailwind for the segment.
