Key Factors to Note for Garmin’s Results

Garmin’s widening portfolio is expected to have been the key growth driver for its top-line performance in the second quarter of 2025.

In the fitness segment, strong demand for advanced wearables and its robust lineup of recently introduced wellness products like HRM 600, Tacx Alpine, Index Sleep Monitor, Edge MTB mountain bike computer, Venu X1, Forerunner 570 and Forerunner 970 is expected to have aided its revenue growth in the quarter under review. Furthermore, Garmin’s collaboration with Zwift and Google Maps to introduce new features across its product line is likely to have aided in enhancing the traction for its products, aiding top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the Fitness segment is pegged at $482.5 million, indicating 12.6% 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 . Latest launches, including the Tread 2 all-terrain navigator, Descent S1 Smart Buoy and the introduction of several features across its wearables like fenix  8, Forerunner, Instinct 3, Lily 2 Active, Venu 3, are likely to have brought in more customers, driving revenues further.

The consensus estimate for Marine revenues is pinned at $340.4 million, up 24.7% 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.
