Winston Score History

The full picture

Gentex Corporation makes auto-dimming rearview mirrors for cars and trucks. These mirrors automatically darken when headlights from cars behind you shine into them, reducing glare for drivers. Gentex sells primarily to major automakers — called OEMs — like Ford, General Motors, Toyota, and Stellantis, making it a key supplier in the automotive parts industry.

Gentex earns revenue by selling mirrors and related electronic products directly to automakers, who install them in new vehicles. The company operates mainly from its headquarters in Zeeland, Michigan, and sells globally, with a significant portion of revenue coming from international automakers. Its moat comes from holding a dominant share of the auto-dimming mirror market and owning the underlying technology patents. The main risk is that vehicle production slowdowns — caused by economic downturns or supply chain disruptions — can quickly reduce demand, since Gentex's sales depend heavily on how many new cars are being built.
