MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Garmin
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Garmin Ltd.:

  • Garmin Ltd. recently demonstrated strong fundamental performance by beating analyst expectations in its most recent earnings report on July 30, 2026, where it delivered an actual EPS of $2.81 compared to a consensus estimate of $2.30, alongside revenue of $2.02 billion which exceeded the $1.93 billion consensus, signaling robust demand for its products.
  • The company has received a recent upgrade to a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) on September 16, 2026, reflecting growing optimism among analysts regarding its earnings prospects and potential for further stock price appreciation.
  • Garmin Ltd. is expanding its product ecosystem through strategic acquisitions, such as the purchase of Applied Ballistics in September 2026, which enhances its outdoor segment by integrating advanced research and technology for long-range shooting into its existing device lineup.
  • Investors can benefit from the company's consistent dividend payments, as Garmin Ltd. currently offers a dividend yield of 1.53%, providing a steady income stream alongside potential capital appreciation.
  • The stock is currently trading at $280.13, which is below the consensus price target of $310.167 set by analysts, suggesting there is still room for upside potential as the company continues to outperform the broader market.

Garmin
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Garmin Ltd. for these reasons:

  • There is a notable trend of insider selling, with multiple executives including the CEO and CFO selling shares in recent months, such as the CEO selling 4,029 shares on July 29, 2026, which may signal that company insiders are taking advantage of the current high stock prices to realize gains.
  • Garmin Ltd. faces intense competition in the wearables market, as evidenced by recent news highlighting that its rival, the Apple Watch, is a direct competitor, and the company's own vívoactive 6 smartwatch is being sold at its lowest price in a year, which could pressure margins and brand perception.
  • The company's valuation is relatively high, with a P/E ratio of 28.88, which may limit the upside potential for investors if future earnings growth does not continue to outpace the stock price increase.
  • Short interest in the stock has been fluctuating, with a recent record showing 3,152,383 shares shorted as of August 31, 2026, indicating that some investors are betting against the stock's future performance, which could lead to volatility.
  • Garmin Ltd. has underperformed the broader Technology sector over the past year, suggesting that its growth rate may not be keeping pace with its peers, which could be a concern for investors seeking high-growth opportunities in the tech space.
