Research Alert: CFRA Reiterates Buy Opinion On Shares Of Gentex Corporation

03:40 PM EDT, 10/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- CFRA, an independent research provider, has provided MT Newswires with the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

We lower our 12-month target by $2 to $32, based on a 2026 P/E of 16x, a justified discount to GNTX's five-year average forward P/E of 17.5x. We maintain our EPS estimates of $1.80 for 2025 and $2.00 for 2026, while introducing 2027 at $2.25. Following GNTX's slight earnings miss, but increased full-year guidance, we are reiterating our Buy opinion on the shares. While GNTX's mirror shipments disappointed, declining 8% Y/Y in Q3 versus a 2% increase in light vehicle production across the company's primary markets, its margin improvement was a big positive. GNTX's gross margin improved for a third straight quarter to 34.4% (vs. 32.5% in Q4 2024) and we believe the company is well on its way to achieving its long-term target of 35%-36%. Moreover, we see global vehicle production improving over the next couple of years, driven by an uptick in consumer demand from lower interest rates and fuel prices. We view the stock's 9% pullback on Friday as a buying opportunity in a best-of-breed auto supplier name.
