Garmin (GRMN) to Report Q3 Earnings: What's in the Offing?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Garmin Ltd. (GRMN - Free Report) is scheduled to report third-quarter 2019 results on Oct 30. In the last reported quarter, it delivered a positive earnings surprise of 16%.
The company topped the Zacks Consensus Estimate in all the trailing four quarters, recording an average of 20.32%.
Performance in the Last Reported Quarter
Garmin reported second-quarter 2019 non-GAAP earnings of $1.16 per share, which surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 16 cents and increased 17.2% from the year-ago period.
Net sales came in $954.84 million, up 7% from the year-ago quarter and 24.6% sequentially. Further, the figure outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $919.07 million.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for this announcement.
Product portfolio expansion remains the top priority for Garmin. In this regard, the company has been following a strategy of product introduction, acquisitions and strategic partnerships. This is anticipated to have continued in the to-be-reported quarter as well.
Notably, the company operates in five organized segments — Outdoor, Fitness, Marine, Auto/Mobile and Aviation. In particular, the fitness segment could have been a significant growth driver for the quarter to be reported. During the quarter, it introduced an indoor cycling trainer called NEO 2T Smart from Tacx in a bid to strengthen its fitness product offerings.
The continuous introduction of new products in all segments and a solid portfolio are expected to have aided its segmental performance in the third quarter. Also, the company’s expanding portfolio of wearables and focus on the healthcare market are likely to have been major positives for the fitness segment.
All these factors are expected to have driven top-line growth in the soon-to-be-reported quarter.
However, weak personal navigation device market might have remained a headwind for Garmin’s Auto/Mobile segment.
