AI brief of an SEC Form 8-K · Gentex (GNTX)

Gentex Q3 net income falls to $90.6 million; 2026 gross margin guidance cut

Negative Impact 4 of 5 earnings

Gentex reported third-quarter 2026 net sales of $647.7 million, down from $655.2 million a year earlier, with GAAP diluted EPS of $0.43 versus $0.46. The company also lowered its 2026 gross margin guidance to 34.0% to 34.5% from 34.5% to 35.5%, citing higher precious metal costs and lower-than-expected sales, which matters to shareholders because it signals weaker profitability for the year.

Key points

  • Q3 2026 net income attributable to Gentex was $90.6 million, compared with $101.0 million in Q3 2025
  • Q3 gross margin was 33.4%, compared with 34.4% a year earlier
  • 2026 gross margin guidance was cut to 34.0% to 34.5%; full-year revenue outlook of approximately $2.65 billion was kept at the low end of the prior range
  • The company repurchased 5.7 million shares for $132.6 million in the quarter and has about 24.3 million shares left under its plan
