About
Garmin Ltd. is a Olathe, Kansas-based GPS navigation and wearable technology company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: GRMN) as an S&P 500 Consumer Discretionary component, incorporated in Switzerland — designing and manufacturing GPS devices, aviation instruments, marine electronics, automotive navigation, fitness wearables, and outdoor adventure devices through approximately 21,000 employees worldwide. In fiscal year 2024, Garmin reported revenues of $6.3 billion (+18% year-over-year), with its Auto OEM segment growing 69% following the production ramp of BMW vehicle infotainment systems, and Fitness segment growing 27% on continued strength of the Forerunner, Venu, and Lily wearable lines. Garmin's diversified five-segment model (Auto, Aviation, Marine, Outdoor, Fitness) provides recession resilience — when leisure marine spending declines, aviation and fitness growth compensate — with each segment generating both hardware and recurring software/service revenue from Connect IQ app downloads, Garmin Connect subscriptions, and aviation database subscription services. CEO Cliff Pemble leads Garmin's strategy of hardware excellence in GPS-intensive applications where Apple and Samsung cannot effectively compete: Garmin's aviation GPS units (GNS, GTN, G3X avionics) are FAA-certified instruments embedded in hundreds of thousands of light aircraft cockpits, requiring Garmin-specific recertification to replace.
Las Vegas Sands Asia integrated resorts (NYSE: LVS) $11.4B FY2024 revenue; Sands China Macau $8.2B, Marina Bay Sands Singapore $2.93B (+14%), Londoner Macao renovation, competing with Galaxy and Melco.
