Valens Equities Weekly Equity Idea Highlight for August 30, 2017 – Garmin Ltd.

September 4, 2017

This week the Valens Securities team highlights our most interesting equity insight from across our tools and our analysis.

GRMN saw steady secular decline in their returns from 2006-2014, as the company saw their competitive advantages defeated in their core markets defeated by the likes of Google Maps. The market appears to expect that tend to continue going forward, expecting UAFRS Adjusted ROA to decline by 1/3 over the next 5 years. However, the market does not appear to be recognizing the success the company has had since 2014 of reversing that trend, seeing ROA’ rise from 15% to 18% levels, with continued investment in the business.
