We see Gentex's growth runway as long but not free of headwinds.
Gentex reported a good second quarter but did miss EPS consensus, coming in at $0.32 versus $0.31. Management cited an adverse mix shift as weaker-than-expected North American vehicle production deprived the company of some advanced feature content mirrors. European industry vehicle production came in better than expected, but most growth was in the B-segment vehicles where Gentex has more base mirrors than advanced feature mirrors. Base mirrors sell for about $20 less than Gentex’s total price ...Gentex designs and manufactures automatic-dimming rearview mirrors and electronics for the automotive industry, dimmable aircraft windows for the aviation industry, and commercial smoke alarms and signaling devices for the fire protection industry. The company's key business involves designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing interior and exterior automatic-dimming automotive rearview mirrors that use electrochromic technology to dim in proportion to the amount of headlight glare from trailing vehicle headlamps. The company also designs, develops and manufactures various electronics features to the interior and exterior automotive rearview mirrors as well as interior visors and overhead consoles.
