VOXX International stock shifts to Gentex after 2025 deal

VOXX International stock shifted into Gentex's operating portfolio after Gentex acquired the company in 2025 for USD 196 million, a transaction reported by Yahoo Finance. The deal changed the investment story from a standalone electronics issuer to an operating business inside a larger automotive technology group.

First year brings USD 355 million

For the first year of ownership, Gentex reported VOXX revenue of USD 355 million and a gross margin of 30.5 percent, according to MarketBeat. The revenue figure landed inside the earlier target range of USD 325 million to USD 375 million, while the margin exceeded the prior target of roughly 28 percent.

The comparison matters because the margin improvement is larger than the revenue change. Gentex now expects VOXX revenue of USD 360 million to USD 380 million and a gross margin of 33 percent to 34 percent, as Yahoo Finance reported in September 2026.

Premium audio drives the rationale

Gentex identifies VOXX's Premium Audio Company as a strategic asset containing the Klipsch, Onkyo and Integra brands. The group also sees consumer distribution relationships as a potential channel for HomeLink smart-home products, connected fire-protection products and future technologies, according to MarketBeat.

Management's initial objective was to grow the business, improve profitability and ultimately generate USD 40 million to USD 50 million in annual EBIT. Cost discipline and lower selling, general and administrative expenses supported the margin expansion, while research and development spending remained a stated priority.

USD 196 million marks the change

The USD 196 million acquisition value from 2025 remains the clearest reference point for VOXX's transition. The latest operating figures show why Gentex is emphasizing profitability: the projected margin of 33 percent to 34 percent stands above the earlier 28 percent target, while revenue is set to move from USD 355 million to a USD 360 million to USD 380 million outlook.
