But op. margin fell to 15% as opex rose slightly Y/Y in spite of a 4% rev. drop.

Garmin-based infotainment systems supporting voice commands and in-dash displays will be integrated into cars over the next 4 years. No word on whether Garmin's innovative/costly K2 platform, shown off in January at CES, will be used. Regardless, the news is helping Garmin rally after shares closed yesterday near their 52-week low. (PR) 3 Comments [Tech, On the Move]

Wednesday, February 20, 7:10 AM More on Garmin (GRMN): A broad fall in revenue was led by weak results from the Automotive/Mobile segment and the Outdoor segment. Overall gross margin rose 100 bps to 49% due to improvement in the aviation business. The company announces a $300M buyback and will recommend to the board a $1.80 dividend. For 2013, Garmin sees revenue of $2.5B-$2.6B and EPS of $2.30-$2.40. GRMN -5.7% premarket. (PR) Comment! [Tech, Earnings]

Friday, February 15, 11:19 AM Garmin (GRMN +1.8%) ticks higher after William Blair starts coverage with an Outperform ahead of the PND maker's Wednesday Q4 report. The firm notes free cash flow remains healthy (a 9.2% yield is estimated for 2012) in spite of a declining PND market, and predicts Garmin's op. margin will keep expanding thanks to growth in markets such as aviation and fitness (aided by new products). Shares have underperformed the NASDAQ by ~20% over the last 12 months. Comment! [Tech, Quick Ideas]
Wednesday, January 9, 11:26 AM Garmin (GRMN -2.9%) slips after Goldman reports management stated at CES it expects its 2013 PND unit sales to decline at a rate in-line with the 15%-20% drop expected for the broader market. That's worse than Goldman's forecast for a 7% Garmin unit drop. Garmin has used CES to show off new Nuvi PND models and (more interestingly) the K2 automotive platform. K2 features, a 10" multi-touch PND/infotainment display, a 12" display that acts as an instrument cluster/notification center, steering wheel controls, and Bluetooth pairing. It probably won't come cheap. Comment! [Tech, On the Move]
Monday, December 17, 2012, 7:12 AM Garmin (GRMN) names Clifton Pemble as its new Chief Executive Officer to succeed Dr. Min Kao. The exec began his tenure at the company as an engineer before rising through the ranks. Comment! [Tech]
Wednesday, December 12, 2012, 11:43 AM TomTom (TMOAF.PK) is up 6.1% in Amsterdam after a Rabobank analyst claims there's a 30% chance Apple (AAPL) will try to buy the company to help fix Apple Maps - TomTom currently provides mapping/navigation data for the much-criticized app. Navigation services rival Telenav (TNAV +4.7%) appears to be rallying on the news, but PND rival Garmin (GRMN -3.3%) is lower. TomTom CEO Harold Goddjin said in October his company plans to remain independent. 2 Comments [Tech, M&A, On the Move, Quick Ideas]
