Key Factors to Note for Garmin
Garmin’s expanding portfolio is expected to have been the key growth driver for its top-line growth in the second quarter of 2026.
In the Fitness segment, strong demand for advanced wearables is expected to have continued in the second quarter. The company's expanding lineup, including the Varia RearVue 820 radar tail light for cyclists, along with new software features such as on-device WhatsApp messaging and Natural Cycles integration for select wearables, is likely to have supported revenue growth and further market share gains. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues in the Fitness segment is pegged at $687.1 million, indicating a year-over-year increase of 13.6%.
Strong demand for the fenix smartwatch lineup and recently launched products, including the Approach G82 handheld GPS, Approach J1 GPS watch, zumo XT3 motorcycle navigator and Catalyst 2 motorsports device, is likely to have supported the Outdoor segment’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. The consensus estimate for Outdoor revenues is pegged at $492.9 million, indicating a year-over-year increase of 0.6%.
The Marine segment is expected to have benefited from broad-based demand across multiple product categories. Newly launched products, including the 360-degree scanning sonar with Spy Pole and the quatix 8 Pro smartwatch with inReach connectivity, are likely to have supported second-quarter performance. The consensus estimate for Marine revenues is pinned at $316.2 million, up 5.7% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
The Aviation segment is expected to have benefited from continued strength across both OEM and aftermarket product categories. Demand is likely to have been supported by the launch of the Daher TBM 980 aircraft featuring Garmin's G3000 PRIME avionics suite and the FAA certification of the HondaJet Elite II equipped with Garmin Emergency Autoland technology. The consensus mark for Aviation revenues is pegged at $271.5 million, suggesting an increase of 9.2% from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.
However, Garmin's Auto OEM segment is expected to have remained pressured in the second quarter as the BMW program has passed peak production and certain legacy programs continue to wind down. The consensus mark for Auto OEM revenues is pegged at $163.2 million, indicating a year-over-year decline of 4.1%.
