Gentex ist ein kleines amerikanisches Unternehmen welches sich auf Kamerasysteme, Spiegelsysteme und Kollisionswarnsysteme spezialisiert hat. Es könnte einer großer Profiteur sein, wenn der Boom "Auto-Pilot-Autos" (selbstfahrende Autos) los geht. Des Weiteren profitiert es von der Gesetzeslage in den USA, welche beschlosssen hat, das sämtliche Neuzulassungen, immer mit Rückfahrkameras ausgestattet werden müssen. Genau solche Kameras kann Gentex liefern.
Auch von der Bewertungsseite her ist die Aktie interessant: Das KGV liegt bei moderaten 13,4.

Und heute ist auch endlich der Ausbruch aus der monatelangen Seitwärtsphase gelungen. Mal schauen wo die Reise noch hingeht.

Hallo,

die Halbjahreszahlen sind wieder recht gut ausgefallen. Die Kontinuität der Ergebnisse in den letzten Jahren ist wirklich beeindruckend.

ZEELAND, MI--(Marketwired - Jul 22, 2016) - Gentex Corporation (NASDAQ: GNTX) the Zeeland, Michigan-based manufacturer of automotive automatic-dimming rearview mirrors, automotive electronics, dimmable aircraft windows, and fire protection products, today reported financial results for the three months ended June 30, 2016.

2nd Quarter 2016 Quarter over Quarter Highlights

Revenue growth of 12%
Gross Margin improved to 39.4% from 38.4%
Income from Operations increased by 19%
Net Income increased by 16%
Earnings per Diluted Share increased by 20% to $0.30 per diluted share
3.1 million shares repurchased during the quarter

For the second quarter of 2016, the Company is pleased to report net sales of $423.8 million, which was an increase of 12% compared to net sales of $379.3 million in the second quarter of 2015. The 12% sales growth was driven by a 13% quarter over quarter increase in auto-dimming mirror unit shipments, while overall automotive light vehicle production in the second quarter of 2016 increased 3% when compared with the same quarter in 2015.

The gross profit margin in the second quarter of 2016 was 39.4%, compared with a gross profit margin of 38.4% in the second quarter of 2015. The quarter over quarter increase in the gross profit margin was driven by purchasing cost reductions and favorable product mix, which more than offset annual customer price reductions.

Income from operations for the second quarter of 2016 increased 19% to $128.7 million when compared to income from operations of $108.1 million for the second quarter of 2015.

Other income decreased to a loss of $1.1 million in the second quarter of 2016 compared with other income of $2.3 million in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to a reduction in realized gains on the sale of equity investments during the most recently completed quarter as compared to the same quarter in the prior year.

Net income for the second quarter of 2016 increased 16% to $86.5 million compared with net income of $74.6 million in the second quarter of 2015. Management believes the second quarter of 2016 is representative of the Company's stated strategy of delivering sales growth through the income statement to the bottom line, by maintaining financial discipline, while continuing to invest in the future of the Company.

Earnings per diluted share in the second quarter of 2016 increased 20% to $0.30, compared with earnings per diluted share of $0.25 in the second quarter of 2015. The increase was primarily driven by increases in net income, but were assisted by the Company continuing to execute a consistent capital allocation strategy, which resulted in a lower diluted share count on a quarter over quarter basis.

Automotive net sales in the second quarter of 2016 were $414.4 million, an increase of 12% compared with automotive net sales of $370.5 million in the second quarter of 2015. As noted previously, this increase was driven by a 13% increase in auto-dimming mirror unit shipments quarter over quarter.

Other net sales in the second quarter of 2016, which includes dimmable aircraft windows and fire protection products, were $9.4 million, an increase of 7% compared with $8.8 million in the second quarter of 2015, primarily due to increases in dimmable aircraft window shipments.

Share Repurchases
During the second quarter of 2016, the Company repurchased 3.1 million shares of its common stock. As of June 30, 2016, the Company has approximately 3.3 million shares remaining available for repurchase in the previously announced share repurchase plan. The Company intends to continue to repurchase additional shares of its common stock in the future depending on macroeconomic issues, market trends and other factors that the Company deems appropriate.

Future Estimates
The Company's forecasts for light vehicle production for the second half of calendar year 2016 are based on the IHS Automotive July 2016 forecast for light vehicle production in North America, Europe, Japan and Korea.
