Garmin Is a Strong Player in GPS-Enabled Hardware
Business Strategy and Outlook
Garmin specializes in GPS-enabled hardware and software for recreational and defense needs. The company became a household name with the debut of its automotive portable navigation device. However, as smartphone apps have disrupted the PND market, Garmin’s major revenue sources have shifted to its aviation and marine segments as well as its fitness and outdoor segments as the smartwatch market has taken off. We’re confident that Garmin will be able to uphold excess returns on capital in the long term, given the robust operating margins that we think the company will be able to maintain in its moaty segments: aviation, marine, and outdoors.
