Description: GNTX Gentex January 08, 2026
Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ:GNTX) designs, develops, manufactures, markets and supplies digital-vision, connected-car, dimmable-glass and fire-protection products across North America, Europe and Asia, operating through two primary segments: Automotive Products and Other.
In the automotive space, Gentex’s core offerings include electrochromic automatic-dimming rear-view mirrors, non-dimming mirrors and HomeLink convenience modules, sold to OEMs, Tier-1 suppliers and aftermarket channels for passenger cars, light trucks, SUVs and vans.
The “Other” segment comprises variable-dimming aircraft windows, a portfolio of photoelectric smoke and carbon-monoxide detectors, visual-signaling alarms and related fire-protection hardware, plus emerging nanofiber chemical-sensing R&D and consumer-focused eSight smart-glass and biometric access-control products.
Key metrics (FY 2023): revenue of approximately $2.2 billion, with ~80 % derived from automotive mirrors; operating margin of ~13 %; and a free-cash-flow conversion of roughly 70 % of net income, indicating strong cash generation despite cyclical OEM demand.
Sector drivers that materially affect Gentex include: (1) the accelerating adoption of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) that raise demand for automatic-dimming mirrors as a safety feature; (2) global automotive production growth-projected at 4-5 % CAGR through 2028-providing a tailwind for OEM-supply contracts; and (3) tightening fire-safety regulations in commercial real-estate, which underpin steady growth for the fire-protection product line.
