How strong the business is — where it ranks within its sector on capital efficiency and cash generation, and how well management has been executing.
How this business ranks within consumer discretionary on a research-validated quality screen. As of 2026-09-04.
The screen ranks GTX against its sector on four durable signals: share dilution, return on capital, free-cash-flow yield, and FCF margin. Historically the highest-quality names tended toward better typical outcomes and fewer bad years over multi-year holds (strongest at three years, modest at one), and that pattern showed up even before the price moved. It characterizes business quality, not price direction.
Each leg is a sector-relative percentile (higher is better); 3 of 4 legs were available for this name. The composite is built from these four; the raw value follows each percentile for context.
A forward quality tilt, not a price prediction, and context for your own research rather than a recommendation. Not investment advice.
How management runs the business: capital, margins, balance sheet, and how reliably they guide and deliver.
Each factor is a parallel diagnostic with a clear read of what it shows and how names like it have historically fared. Never aggregated into a single score.
Operating income rose in 2 of the last 3 quarter-over-quarter moves. Historically, Consumer Discretionary names rated strong grew net income 63% of the time over the next year (vs 50% for the rest of the cohort, n=5213).

Priorities management has stated in recent disclosures, with status and evidence drawn from earnings calls, filings, and press releases.
Achieve full-year 2026 net sales between $3.7 billion and $3.9 billion, reflecting growth across all verticals and share-of-demand gains.
Stated as a priority in 3 of last 3 quarters. Revenue grew from $878 million in 2025-Q1 to $985 million in 2026-Q1 and $976 million in 2026-Q2. Management raised the full-year 2026 net sales outlook from $3.6-$3.9 billion in 2025-Q4 to $3.7-$3.9 billion in 2026-Q2. The trajectory is delivering consistent growth aligned with stated targets.

Plan to grow Garrett's sales by technology to approximately $5 billion by 2030, expanding market presence and product offerings.
Stated as a priority in 2 of last 3 quarters. Management reiterated the plan to reach approximately $5 billion in sales by 2030. While current revenue is below this target, the company is maintaining this long-term growth goal. The trajectory is mixed given the long horizon and current revenue levels.
“Garrett sales by technology planned ~$5B by 2030”
Focus on capital allocation discipline including debt repricing and early repayment to reduce interest expense and strengthen liquidity.
Stated as a priority in 2 disclosures including 2026-Q2 and May 2026. Interest expense decreased from $25 million in 2025-Q2 to $24 million in 2026-Q2, supported by a $50 million early repayment and repricing of the term loan reducing the interest rate by 25 basis points. The trajectory shows delivering on capital cost reduction and liquidity strengthening.
“Interest expense decreased to $24M in Q2 2026 from $25M in Q2 2025 due to debt repricing”
Continue returning capital to shareholders through quarterly dividends and active share repurchase programs.
Stated as a priority in 3 of last 3 quarters. The company declared a consistent $0.08 per share dividend in 2026-Q1 and Q2 and repurchased $87 million of shares in 2026-Q1 and $28 million in 2026-Q2. This shows delivering on capital return commitments with active share repurchases and steady dividends.
