Garmin shares jump around 5.5% as record Q3 revenues boost outlook
Garmin Ltd. (GRMN) jumped 5.45% today as investors reacted to its record-breaking third quarter revenues and raised annual outlook. The advance is supported by Garmin trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages, underscoring a broadly bullish short-, medium-, and long-term trend structure.
Highlights
- Garmin set a record with nearly $2 billion in third quarter sales and raised its full-year outlook.
- The company ended the quarter with $4.1 billion in cash and marketable securities and completed acquisitions of TrainingPeaks and TrainHeroic.
- Shares of Garmin trade in a bullish technical alignment, but mixed momentum signals suggest a sideways move in the $278.38 to $302.54 range over the next week.
Cash reserves and acquisitions support bullish investor response
Garmin reported record third quarter sales close to $2 billion and raised its full-year forecast. The company ended the period with approximately $4.1 billion in cash and marketable securities, generated $394 million in operating cash flow, distributed $202 million in dividends, and repurchased $41 million of shares. Additional highlights include the acquisitions of TrainingPeaks and TrainHeroic, the launch of the Descent X10 dive computer at $349.99, and a recent insider share gift by co-COO Bradley C. Trenkle.
Uptrend holds despite mixed momentum and intraday selling pressure
GRMN is trading above its 20-day, 50-day, and 200-day moving averages ($280.89, $281.78, and $254.44, respectively), signaling short-, medium-, and long-term uptrend support. The immediate support sits at $285.85, with resistance near $302.54. The 50-day average remains above the 200-day, and price structure is reinforced by Ichimoku Kijun support at $280.23. However, momentum signals are mixed. The MACD and RSI indicate a sell setup, but the RSI and CCI are in the neutral zone. Stochastic RSI is oversold, and Bull/Bear Power readings suggest sellers are dominating intraday momentum, pointing to a divergence between price gains and underlying strength.
Previously it was reported that Garmin's stock entered a period of sustained downside risk amid persistent selling pressure and technical breakdowns. The current technical structure presents a notable shift, with price advancing above major moving averages but ongoing intraday momentum weakness making future direction highly sensitive to a decisive move beyond the $302.54 resistance or below the $278.38 support.
