Gentex Corporation (Nasdaq: GNTX) announced its financial results for the fourth quarter (4Q) and full year (FY) of Fiscal 2024. The results spooked investors as the company appeared to be cruising to a solid, probably single-digit growth year through the first three quarters. In fact, the company was predicting a year of record net sales through the first nine months of 2024. Then…the fourth quarter happened…

Analysts on an earnings call had a lot of questions about management’s guidance miss, the reasons for the performance decline at the end of the year, and what the company plans to do with Voxx when the deal finally closes.

Sound United to be ‘A Discontinued Operation’

On Tuesday, Masimo Corporation (Nasdaq: MASI) announced the results of its financial performance for the third quarter (3Q) of Fiscal 2024 (FY2024) – the first such report under the new management. While the report comes from the new management, including interim CEO Michelle Brennan, the period of this report is for the quarter that ended September 28, 2024 – meaning the bulk of the actual performance occurred under previous CEO Joe Kiani. Still, the numbers, for the most part, looked pretty good.

Sonos App Disaster Spoils Launch of Ace & Better Results for Q3 of Fiscal 2024

by 2 Comments

Last week, Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) announced the results for its third quarter of Fiscal Year 2024. CEO Patrick Spence must feel like the tech company can’t catch a break. The company successfully launched its first headphone product, Sonos Ace, to much fanfare in June – the load-in of which helped to drive better-than-expected results for the 3rd quarter of Fiscal 2024. And yet the company’s launch of its newest totally “re-architected” app turned into an unmitigated disaster – infuriating dealers and consumers alike and spoiling all of the positive momentum from Ace and the improved quarter.

What’s worse, the company warns financial analysts that the app disaster will likely continue, causing the company to push back the launch of two new products planned for the 4th quarter and to downwardly revise sales and profit forecasts for the next quarter and the full fiscal year. The ugliness, according to the company, will likely continue into the 1st quarter of Fiscal 2025. Ouch!

Sonos Q2/FY2024 cover

Sonos, Inc. (Nasdaq: SONO) announced its financial performance for the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, the period that ended on March 30, 2024. The numbers, as we’re seeing more consistently across a wide variety of consumer brands, were rough…really rough. Revenues in the quarter declined a nasty 16.9% and the company’s Net Loss more than doubled, increasing by a scary 127%.

Yet CEO Patrick Spence claimed in a statement that “…we delivered results that slightly exceeded our expectations…” Either they were expecting a really devastating result, or I’ll have whatever he’s having!

Masimo Corporation (Nasdaq: MASI), yet another company in Tech that reported their financial results for the first quarter of Fiscal 2024 after the close of business on Tuesday, revealed that both revenues and profits had declined double-digit percentages in the quarter.
