Gentex Corporation (GNTX) Earnings: Q3 2026 Results and Next Report Date

The quarter ended September 30, 2026 and Gentex published the results on October 23, 2026. Revenue and diluted EPS are shown against Q3 2025, the same quarter a year earlier, which takes seasonal swings out of the comparison. Gentex reports EPS two ways: GAAP, under the accounting rules every US filer follows, and adjusted (non-GAAP), which leaves out items the company considers outside its operating results. The release reconciles the two, and when they diverge, the reconciliation says why.

• Gentex reports in whole dollars; figures here are in millions as the release text states them.
• Since the first quarter of 2026 Gentex's non-GAAP measures also adjust other income for technology investment impairments, and prior periods were revised to match. The year-ago adjusted EPS of $0.47 is on that basis.

How Gentex splits revenue in its own release, under its own labels, for Q3 2026 against Q3 2025. Indented lines are parts of the line above them.

• Gentex's Automotive revenue was $553 million in Q3 2026, down 4% from $574 million in Q3 2025, 85% of total revenue.
• Gentex's Premium Audio revenue was $54.7 million in Q3 2026, up 27% from $43.0 million in Q3 2025, 8% of total revenue.
• Gentex's Other Products revenue was $40.5 million in Q3 2026, up 5% from $38.6 million in Q3 2025, 6% of total revenue.

Segment lines are the figures writers cite most often, because they show where the growth in a quarter came from. Companies redraw their segments from time to time and restate the prior year to match, so a year-ago figure here can differ from the one printed a year ago. When that has happened, the note above says so.

From the earnings release

Gentex gives full-year ranges, not a quarterly outlook, and no EPS outlook. The first three lines are its updated 2026 guidance; the last is its 2027 revenue outlook.

In its Q3 2026 release, Gentex said:

“Consolidated Revenue: Approximately $2.65 billion (previously $2.65-$2.75 billion)”

“Gross Margin: 34.0%-34.5% (previously 34.5%-35.5%).”

“Operating Expenses (excluding severance and impairments): $395-$410 million (previously $405-$415 million)”

“Based on the mid-October 2026 Mobility Global light vehicle production forecast and the Company's current expectations for Automotive, Premium Audio, and Other Products revenue, the Company is maintaining its 2027 revenue outlook of $2.80 billion to $2.90 billion.”

This is the company's own guidance as of Oct 23, 2026, quoted as given. Walnut does not make forecasts of its own. Analyst estimates for the coming quarters are on the GNTX forecast page.

GAAP net sales and diluted EPS attributable to Gentex, each as first reported in that quarter's release. All five quarters include VOXX, the Premium Audio business Gentex acquired in 2025.

Gentex's next report is expected around January 29, 2027, a date estimated from its reporting history that the company has not yet confirmed. This page will show Q3 2026 until those results are out and have been checked against the release.

Each quarter keeps its own page with the figures as reported, so a link to one stays pointed at the same numbers after the next report.

• Q3 2026 (this page), reported Oct 23, 2026

Gentex is mostly an automotive supplier: Automotive net sales were $552.5 million of its $647.7 million total in Q3 2026. The segment makes electrochromic automatic-dimming rearview mirrors, with and without electronic features, and other automotive electronics. Premium Audio added $54.7 million and Other Products, which include Aerospace, Biometrics, Fire Protection and Automotive Aftermarket, $40.5 million. (Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026; Gentex Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)

Gentex's Automotive net sales fell from $573.7 million, which the 10-Q puts down primarily to lower sales in China, the loss of the Volkswagen program in Europe (about $16.6 million) and a 15% decrease in total mirror unit shipments. Excluding China and the VW program, Gentex said automotive revenue rose about 2%. China automotive sales fell 44% to $22.1 million. (Gentex Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026; Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026)

North America was Gentex's bright spot. Automotive revenue there rose about 3% to $263.3 million while regional light vehicle production fell 5%, which Gentex called outgrowth of about 800 basis points from content growth. The release also says revenue came in about $35 million below Gentex's forecast at the start of the quarter because of customer issues and delayed launches. (Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026)

Gentex's non-automotive revenue rose about 17% to 15% of total revenue, against about 12% a year earlier. Premium Audio rose about 27%, driven primarily by Home Separates and Systems products, and Other Products rose 5% as Aerospace and Fire Protection grew 135% and 36%. (Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026; Gentex Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026)

Gentex's sales are concentrated among a few automakers. In 2025 Toyota Motor Company accounted for 18% of consolidated net sales, Volkswagen Group 11% and General Motors 10%, counting direct sales and sales through their Tier 1 suppliers. (Gentex Form 10-K, 2025, Feb 24, 2026)

Gentex's GAAP diluted EPS was $0.43 in Q3 2026, against $0.46 a year earlier, and its adjusted diluted EPS was $0.47 in both quarters. Adjusted net income of $97.8 million excludes a $3.0 million intangible asset impairment, severance costs and $4.7 million of technology investment impairments booked in other loss. (Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026)

Gentex's gross margin fell to 33.4% from 34.4%, which it attributed primarily to higher precious metal costs and lower-than-anticipated sales, which produced unfavorable product mix and reduced operating leverage. Operating expenses fell to $101.3 million from $102.8 million, and the effective tax rate was 15.5% against 16.3%. (Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026)

Gentex's basic weighted average share count fell to 204,832,194 from 215,944,553 a year earlier. It repurchased 5.7 million shares in Q3 2026 at an average price of $23.44 for $132.6 million, and 11.6 million shares for $270.2 million so far in 2026, with about 24.3 million shares left under its plan. (Gentex Form 10-Q, Q3 2026, Nov 6, 2026; Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026)

Diluted EPS divides net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the quarter, plus the shares that options and other equity awards could add. Buybacks shrink that count and lift EPS for the same profit; share issuance and stock awards enlarge it.

Gentex gives full-year guidance in its release, and no EPS outlook. In this release it narrowed 2026 revenue to about $2.65 billion from $2.65 billion to $2.75 billion and cut its gross margin range to 34.0% to 34.5% from 34.5% to 35.5%, including $10 million to $15 million of incremental fourth-quarter costs whose recoveries it does not expect until the first half of 2027. (Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026)

Gentex kept its 2027 revenue outlook of $2.80 billion to $2.90 billion, which assumes light vehicle production in its primary markets of North America, Europe and Japan/Korea declines about 1% in 2027. Its production assumptions come from the mid-October 2026 Mobility Global outlook, which forecasts global light vehicle production down about 4% in the fourth quarter of 2026. (Gentex Q3 2026 release, Oct 23, 2026)

A consensus figure is the average of the models published by the analysts who cover Gentex, collected by a data provider and revised up to the day of the report. A quarter that lands above it says how expectations were set as much as how the business did, and the share price on the day also reflects the guidance and the lines no consensus covers.

The consensus figures on this page are Yahoo Finance's, as pulled on the date shown. Each comes with the number of analysts behind it; the smaller that number, the more one revised estimate can move the average.

The figures below are the ones Gentex's own release and filings put weight on for Q3 2026, with the latest reported value for each.

What the quarter means for a holding is a separate question from what it reported. The case for and against owning GNTX is on is GNTX a buy or a sell?, what analysts expect next is on the GNTX forecast, and what the company does is on the Gentex Corporation (GNTX) stock page.

Every number on this page can be traced to a document Gentex published. Checking one takes a couple of minutes, and it is worth doing before you quote a figure anywhere.

• The results release is the document linked in the source line above. Companies publish it on their investor relations site at the moment results go out, and it carries the headline tables: revenue, operating income, net income and EPS for the quarter and the year-ago quarter.
• The same release is filed with the SEC as Exhibit 99.1 to a Form 8-K under Item 2.02, usually on the day of the report. The SEC copy does not change after the fact, which makes it the safer thing to link when you cite a number.
• The quarterly report (Form 10-Q) follows within a few weeks and carries the full financial statements, the segment note and management's discussion of what changed. The fourth quarter is covered by the annual report (Form 10-K) instead.
• Restated comparisons are flagged in the notes on this page. When a company redraws its segments or changes how it adjusts EPS, it restates the year-ago column, so the year-ago figure in a new release can differ from the one printed a year ago. This page always uses the comparison in the newer release, because that is the like-for-like one.
