Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN) has surprised many savvy investors and speculators who were betting against the company.  That surprise has lasted some time and shares are now going to be at a new 52-week high.  The PND and GPS leader reported earnings above expectations after showing its first gain in a few quarters in sales of its personal navigation devices and outdoor and fitness products.

As far as guidance, Garmin now sees earnings of $2.45 to $2.60 per share on an adjusted basis nd sees sales in a range of $2.7 billion to $2.8 billion for the full year.  Thomson Reuters has estimates of $2.41 EPS on $2.55 billion in sales.
