Why now
Auto Parts · market cap $5.1b. 18% off the 52-week high of $29.38. Revenue growing +14%, comfortably above the S&P median. PEG 0.72 — paying under fair value for the growth rate. 9 sell-side analysts rate this a Buy with a mean 1-yr target of $27.89 (implying +16% upside).
Moat
Net margin 15% beats the market median by a meaningful margin — the company is keeping more of every revenue dollar than the average S&P constituent. ROE 16% sits above Buffett's preferred 15% threshold — the equity base is compounding at a rate the market struggles to discount accurately. FCF converts 120% of net income — earnings translate cleanly into cash, a sign that working capital and capex are well-disciplined.
Risk
Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
Horizon
1-3 yr $27.89 (9-analyst consensus) — multiple re-rating thesis requires a catalyst. 5 yr $35.21 at ~8% CAGR — dividend + buyback compounding. 10 yr $45.15 if the moat survives secular pressure.

Gentex Corporation (GNTX): score, valuation & FAQ

Gentex Corporation (GNTX) is a Auto Parts company that scores 70.3 out of 100 on the Bull Rankings quality-growth model — a solid, above-average reading. The score blends three pillars — quality (durable returns, healthy margins, low leverage), growth (revenue and earnings), and value (valuation versus sector peers) — into one number, refreshed daily; it is a screen, not a buy recommendation.

Its strongest graded signals are P/E (A-), PEG (A-) and Rev (B+). On valuation, GNTX sits about 41% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -8% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade.

Is GNTX a good stock to buy?

Bull Rankings scores GNTX 70.3 out of 100 on its quality-growth model, which is a solid, above-average reading. That is driven by P/E (A-), PEG (A-) and Rev (B+). A score is a quantitative screen of Gentex Corporation's fundamentals, not personalised financial advice — weigh it against your own time horizon and risk tolerance, and read the risk factors below before acting.

Why does GNTX score 70.3 on Bull Rankings?

The quality-growth score blends three pillars — quality (returns on capital, margins, leverage, earnings quality), growth (revenue and earnings expansion), and value (valuation versus sector peers). GNTX earns its highest marks on P/E (A-), PEG (A-) and Rev (B+). Each pillar is graded against sector-aware thresholds, then combined into the single 0–100 score.

Is GNTX overvalued or undervalued?

Based on $24.12, GNTX sits about 41% below our discounted-cash-flow fair value (a margin of safety) — the current price implies roughly -8% annual free-cash-flow growth over the next decade. It trades at a 12.8x× P/E (graded A-). Discounted-cash-flow estimates are sensitive to growth and discount-rate assumptions, so treat this as a cross-check, not a price target.

What are the main risks of investing in GNTX?

Value re-rating depends on a catalyst. Without one — analyst day, divestiture, margin recovery, capital return — the stock can stay cheap on these multiples for years.
