How to read these numbers
Challenge rate is the share of questions that pushed back, pressed for specifics or questioned management’s assumptions. It describes how questions were asked on the calls tracked here; it does not measure whether any view turned out to be right.
Rounding. Rates are rounded to whole percentages, so a small share can show as 0% even when some questions were challenging. The count beside each rate is exact; “none of N questions” means no question was challenging.
No questions recorded. “—” means there is nothing to calculate: no questions were recorded for that period on the calls tracked here. It does not mean there was no activity.
Fewer than 3 questions. A company-level rate is withheld when fewer than 3 questions were recorded for that company; the questions are still counted everywhere else.
Small samples. Profiles with fewer than 10 questions are marked Limited sample.
Reporting periods. Questions are grouped by the calendar quarter each company’s fiscal reporting period maps to, not by the date of the call. Periods without a calendar mapping are listed separately under their fiscal label.

Calendar 2026 Q2
it seems as if the product sold out and now the ship wait time is five to eight weeks
Show response
Cliff said CIRQA demand ran ahead of expectations and the company will be chasing back orders for a while, with early registration tracking very strong and product already reaching customers.
how we should think about the opportunity from a cost perspective and a capacity perspective
Show response
Cliff said Thailand is on track and in the most intense capex phase, finishing near year-end for early-2027 use. The first 400,000 sq ft phase can eventually double Garmin's capacity at a similar or slightly lower cost structure.
Calendar 2026 Q1
whether or not that's changed your view on the overall tariff impact this year versus last quarter
Show response
Doug confirmed tariffs had unfavorable YoY impact on Q1 since they were not in effect a year ago. Expects continued tariff impact for the remainder of the year. No receivable or benefit for potential refunds has been recorded.
What are you guys seeing in terms of the underlying trends in the marine end market
Show response
Cliff noted strong builder deliveries contributing to growth alongside retail/aftermarket. Some marine customers starting to express worry about the geopolitical situation but the market overall remains strong with positive new product reception.
Calendar 2025 Q4
if you could just kind of share any thoughts maybe around the global wearables market, how that's kind of been trending
Show response
Cliff estimated the overall wearables market growing in the mid-single to 10% range. Market share gains are a key driver as Garmin takes share both above and below from different players. Customers recognize value and uniqueness of Garmin features.
I think you mentioned maybe kind of consistent growth expected in '26. What's kind of underlying that from a kind of industry perspective
Show response
Cliff said marine market is finding its footing and incrementally positive entering 2026. Boat shows are very active. Larger boats with more equipment are popular, and Garmin's industry-leading sonar, chartplotters, and mapping continue driving share gains.
Calendar 2025 Q3
any thoughts around -- updated thoughts around tariffs would be great
Show response
Cliff said tariffs mostly stable. All short-term adjustments completed. Now focused on longer-term supply chain optimizations as normal course of business.
on the Marine segment and the raised guidance there, is that purely idiosyncratic
Show response
Cliff said end market has stabilized and may be on an uptick, especially aftermarket. Consumers resilient. Share gains in chartplotters, trolling motors, audio and cartography contributing.
Calendar 2025 Q1
how should we think about kind of the -- like a 31% growth in the quarter versus kind of the 7% unchanged thoughts for the year
Show response
Cliff explained Q1 benefited from models added in 2024 not yet anniversaried. Growth will moderate as BMW production stabilizes. Carmakers also softening views due to tariff impact on customers.
Is that a reflection of kind of a differing view on kind of the end market versus prior
Show response
Cliff said early boat show indications were strong but tariff shock may pause high-end boat and equipment buyers. Factoring in slight softness for transition time.
Calendar 2024 Q4
if you could just remind us how to think about the mix of the business from an OEM versus aftermarket perspective
Show response
Cliff said marine is more than half retail aftermarket. Market stabilized but unlikely to snap back to double-digit growth without catalysts. Garmin expects to outperform if market improves.

Calendar 2026 Q2
if you could just walk through how you’re thinking about 2Q or, sorry, second half, from a tariff perspective
Show response
Asked which tariff recoveries sit in the guide and how the second half looks. Root said the gross range of $75 million-$90 million is unchanged and no further meaningful recoveries are assumed.
Calendar 2025 Q4
So I guess in terms of cadence, how should we think about that building through the year?
Show response
Root walked all four quarters and concluded shipments are back-half weighted with a material Q4 step-up against an easy comp.
Calendar 2025 Q3
you had kind of talked about expecting $275 million to $300 million of operating income benefit in the second half
Show response
Root reaffirmed the total but did not split it by quarter, saying the transaction closes across multiple quarters.
Calendar 2025 Q1
how you're thinking about kind of like the annual cost savings that you're tracking toward going forward?
Show response
Zeitz quantified the reduced loss and burn and was candid that EV adoption is arriving much later than assumed.
Calendar 2024 Q4
how are you feeling about the health of the book? And then in light of SOFR declining

Root attributed the guided decline mainly to lower wholesale assets and higher funding costs rather than credit deterioration, noting recent high-quality originations.
