Did GTX Beat Earnings? Q3 2025 Results
Garrett Motion posted a convincing third-quarter beat on Thursday, with earnings per share of $0.38 clearing the $0.34 consensus estimate by 12.09% and revenue of $902.00 million topping expectations by 4.14% while rising 9.2% year over year, as stronger-than-expected gasoline and diesel turbocharger demand propelled the company ahead of a softening broader automotive market. Net income climbed to $77.00 million from $52.00 million a year ago, aided by higher volumes, a leaner interest expense of $29.00 million versus $37.00 million in the prior-year period, and sustained productivity gains that helped expand the Adjusted EBIT margin to 14.7% from 14.2%. Capital returns were also a theme, with Garrett repurchasing $84.00 million in stock and hiking its quarterly dividend by 33% to $0.08 per share. Looking ahead, the company raised the midpoint of its full-year 2025 net sales guidance to a $3.50 billion to $3.60 billion range and lifted net income guidance to $265.00 million to $295.00 million, reflecting confidence in second-half automotive production trends and continued turbocharging program wins across multiple global markets.
- Higher demand in gasoline and diesel turbochargers

- Recoveries on enacted import tariffs
