Gentex reports Q3 2026 revenue miss and flat adjusted earnings

Gentex Corp. posted third‑quarter 2026 net sales of $647.7 million, down from $655.2 million a year earlier. Diluted earnings per share were $0.43, while adjusted EPS was $0.47, unchanged from the prior quarter. The company kept its 2027 revenue guidance of $2.80 billion to $2.90 billion. North American automotive revenue rose 3% year over year, and European automotive revenue increased 13% when the Volkswagen program loss is excluded.

The revenue shortfall versus analyst expectations may pressure the stock price in the near term. Maintaining the 2027 revenue outlook signals that the company still expects its longer‑term growth trajectory to hold.
