Gentex Corporation reported fourth-quarter earnings of $0.43 per share, matching the Zacks Consensus Estimate and representing a 10.3% increase from $0.39 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company’s ability to control costs in the face of ongoing supply-chain pressures drove operating margins to approximately 20.5%, up 50 basis points sequentially. Gentex’s EPS performance was supported by lower warranty and material costs, which fell by 8% and 4% respectively compared with Q3 2025, enabling the business to maintain profitability without relying on price increases for its auto-dimming rearview mirrors and electronics products.

Revenue for the quarter rose 5% year-over-year to $495 million, narrowly beating the consensus estimate of $490 million. Automotive unit shipments reached 4.2 million mirrors, exceeding the Street’s forecast of 4.1 million, driven by expanded content per vehicle in North America and Europe. The company’s backlog stood at $1.2 billion, up 15% year-over-year, reflecting strong order momentum for its camera and sensor fusion technologies. Gentex also highlighted a 25% increase in recurring sales from its aftermarket business, which now comprises 18% of total revenues, helping to diversify its customer base beyond original equipment manufacturer orders.
