Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Key Factors to Note

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

In the fitness segment, strong demand for advanced wearables like running watches is expected to have aided its revenue growth in the quarter under review.

Our model estimate for the Fitness segment is pegged at $285 million, indicating 4.7% year-over-year growth.

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

Our model suggests Aviation revenues of $219.2 million, up 7.1% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

Moreover, contributions from new OEM programs are likely to have continued benefiting the Automotive segment in the quarter under discussion.

Additionally, GRMN’s strong momentum across the OEM and aftermarket categories are expected to have benefited the segment in the quarter under review.

Our model estimate for Auto OEM revenues is pegged at $89.1 million, indicating 51.1% year-over-year growth.

However, macroeconomic uncertainties, geopolitical concerns, supply chain constraints and softness in the fitness segments, particularly in adventure watches, are major concerns ahead of the upcoming results.

Additionally, weakness in the consumer auto category is expected to have affected the Outdoor segment of the company in the underlying quarter.

Outdoor revenues are expected to decline 13.7% year over year to $398.7 million, per our model.
