Rating:62Neutral
Price Target:
$36.00
▲(5.54% Upside)
The score is primarily supported by a conservative balance sheet and a positive forward narrative from the latest earnings call (growth visibility, margin/cash improvement targets, and strategic expansion). Offsetting this are weak technical momentum and a high P/E valuation, alongside mixed cash-flow consistency and some financial data-quality inconsistencies that increase risk.
Positive Factors
Balance Sheet Strength
Gentherm's materially lower leverage and sizable equity base provide durable financial flexibility to fund R&D, capex, and strategic M&A while withstanding cyclical auto demand. This reduces refinancing risk and supports execution of multi-year growth and integration plans.
Automotive New Business Awards
A $2.2B new-award backlog signals validated technology and strong OEM relationships, underpinning multiyear revenue visibility. Repeat design wins and expanded adoption (pulse solutions, Ford, Mercedes) support market share gains and secular demand durability in vehicle comfort systems.
Adjacency Growth & Strategic M&A
The Modine tie-up and rapid adjacent-market wins (>$300M funnel, furniture, commercial vehicles, powersports) diversify end markets beyond light vehicles. Scale, cross-selling and valve/pneumatic capabilities create sustainable growth vectors and reduce dependence on a single OEM cycle.
Negative Factors
Margin Pressure
Structural cost and mix headwinds compressed margins in 2025 and management expects footprint realignment to drag margins ~60 bps in 2026. Until material savings and productivity are realized, margin recovery depends on execution, creating multi-quarter profit pressure risk.
Inconsistent Free Cash Flow Conversion
Variable FCF conversion limits Gentherm's ability to consistently self-fund growth, de-lever after acquisitions, or return cash. History of working-capital swings and episodic capex creates execution risk; management targets better conversion but must prove consistency over multiple quarters.
Integration & Leverage Risk from Modine Deal
The Reverse Morris Trust adds scale but meaningfully raises pro forma leverage and requires bridge financing and successful integration to realize $25M cost synergies. Execution, cultural integration, and timely refinancing are durable risks that could constrain capital allocation and margin upside.

Gentherm Earnings Call Summary

Earnings Call Date:Feb 19, 2026
(Q4-2025)
|
% Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Apr 23, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
The call presented a largely positive strategic and commercial narrative: record revenue, strong new business awards, rapid validation and commercialization in adjacent markets (including a sizeable $300M+ funnel and immediate furniture wins), material M&A upside via the Modine combination (synergies, new markets, valve scale), and strengthened cash generation and balance sheet. Offsetting this optimism are near-term margin pressures from higher material costs, unfavorable mix, and footprint realignment (a ~90 bps margin decline in 2025 and an expected ~60 bps drag in 2026), some planned-business exits reducing near-term revenue, and FX/headwinds that temper reported growth. On balance, the strategic growth initiatives, M&A upside, product pipeline (notably ThermoFix) and improving cash/awards pipeline outweigh the near-term operational and margin challenges.
Q4-2025 Updates
Positive Updates
Planned Combination with Modine Performance Technologies
Announced planned combination creating a pro forma $2.6B company with a pathway to >$3.5B revenue; pro forma synergy-adjusted EBITDA of ~13%; identified near-term run-rate cost synergies of ~$25M and a commercial synergy funnel >$100M (valves >50% of funnel) unlocking new end markets (power generation, heavy-duty equipment, commercial vehicles, data centers).
Significant Adjacent-Market Commercial Funnel
Generated an adjacent-market commercial funnel totaling >$300M of lifetime revenue outside light vehicle within months; rapid wins across commercial vehicles, powersports, and home & office; secured a global furniture brand award and began manufacturing/deliveries in January, demonstrating shorter development cycles and quick time-to-revenue.
Medical Product Innovation (ThermoFix) and FDA Progress
Submitted FDA 510(k) for the ThermoFix patient warming/securement system; expect revenue from ThermoFix later in 2026 and foresee Medical segment annual revenue growth accelerating into the high-teens; expect additional significant medical product announcement in early 2027 leveraging existing automotive IP.
Strong Automotive New Business Awards
Achieved $2.2B of automotive new business awards in 2025 (including $485M in Q4), highlighted by wins on Ford F-Series, Mercedes-Benz, and expanded adoption of pulse-based solutions — validating core technology demand.
Record Annual Revenue and Segment Growth
Reported record revenue of $1.5B in 2025, up 2.9% YoY (1.8% ex-FX); Automotive Climate & Comfort Solutions revenue increased 5.8% ex-FX; Q4 Climate & Comfort outgrew light vehicle by 820 basis points excluding FX.
Improved Cash Generation and Strong Balance Sheet
Generated $117M of operating cash flow (increase of ~7% YoY), reduced capital expenditures to $56M from $73M (down ~23%), and ended the year with net leverage of 0.2 turns, strengthening financial flexibility.
2026–2027 Outlook and Growth Visibility
Provided 2026 guidance of $1.5B–$1.6B revenue (~3% growth at midpoint ex-FX) and adjusted EBITDA of $175M–$195M (midpoint ~12% margin, ~30 bps expansion YoY). Introduced a preliminary 2027 revenue outlook of ~$1.7B (≈10% above 2026 midpoint) supported by launch cadence and adjacent-market contributions.
Operational and Strategic Initiatives
Rolled out company operating system and business-process standardization to drive operational rigor; pursuing footprint optimization and product mix improvements (lumbar/massage comfort, valves, pneumatics), positioning for margin expansion as growth scales.
Negative Updates
Adjusted EBITDA Margin Contraction in 2025
Adjusted EBITDA totaled $175M (11.7% of sales) in 2025, down from 12.6% the prior year (a ~90 basis point decline), primarily due to higher material costs, unfavorable mix, and expenses related to footprint realignment.
Footprint Realignment as Near-Term Profit Drag
Ongoing strategic footprint transitions are a near-term headwind — expected to be ~60 basis points of profit drag in 2026 and some transitions now anticipated to complete in 2027, delaying certain margin benefits.
Planned Exits and Product Declines
Other automotive products declined by $28M in 2025 driven by planned business exits; expected impact from strategically exited businesses to decrease revenue by approximately $10M year-over-year in 2026.
Material Cost, Mix and Pricing Pressures
Margin pressure from higher material costs, unfavorable product mix, and contractual price downs; management cited the need for material savings and productivity actions to offset these headwinds.
FX and Local Currency Headwinds
Reported growth reduced when including FX (1.8% ex-FX vs 2.9% nominal); management noted specific near-term headwinds from peso movements affecting 2026 assumptions.
Free Cash Flow Conversion Below Target
2026 adjusted free cash flow guidance of $80M–$100M implies an adjusted free cash flow conversion of ~50%, below management's longer-term target of 60%+, indicating room to improve cash conversion efficiency.
Company Guidance
The company guided 2026 revenue of $1.5B–$1.6B (midpoint ≈ +3% ex‑FX versus 2025), noting S&P Global expects light‑vehicle production down ~1% so Gentherm expects to grow above market by mid‑single digits; they excluded any impact from the planned Modine combination. Adjusted EBITDA for 2026 is forecast at $175M–$195M (midpoint implying ~12% margin, ~30 bps expansion year‑over‑year) while ongoing footprint transitions are expected to be a ~60 bps drag; management expects H2 to be slightly stronger than H1 and Q1 to be roughly flat to prior year with improvement through the year. They estimate adjusted free cash flow of $80M–$100M assuming CapEx of $45M–$55M (~3% of sales), implying ~50% adjusted FCF conversion with a target to improve to 60%+, and provided a preliminary 2027 revenue outlook of $1.7B (≈ +10% vs the 2026 midpoint).

Gentherm Financial Statement Overview

Summary
Balance sheet strength is a key positive (low leverage in 2025 and sizable equity base), but operating/cash-flow quality is mixed: revenue momentum slowed, margins remain modest versus earlier peak years, free cash flow has been choppy, and the 2025 revenue/margin data inconsistency reduces confidence in near-term financial trend interpretation.
Income Statement
58
Neutral
Revenue grew strongly in 2022–2023, but momentum stalled in 2024 (slightly down year over year), and the 2025 annual data shows revenue as 0 with margins also at 0%, which is inconsistent with positive profits and suggests data quality/reporting issues that reduce confidence. Profitability improved from 2022 to 2024 (net income and operating profit both higher), but margins remain modest (2024 net margin ~4.5%, operating margin ~8.4%) and are well below 2020–2021 levels, indicating weaker pricing/power or higher costs versus the earlier peak period.
Balance Sheet
78
Positive
The balance sheet looks conservative overall, with low leverage in the latest year (2025 debt-to-equity ~0.08) and a sizable equity base (equity ~$720M vs. assets ~$1.40B). Leverage was moderate in 2022–2024 (debt-to-equity ~0.38–0.43) and improved meaningfully in 2025, supporting financial flexibility. Returns on equity are positive but have been volatile and currently low (2025 ~2.5% vs. 2024 ~10.5%), reflecting uneven earnings power.
Cash Flow
62
Positive
Cash generation is generally positive, with operating cash flow solid in 2023–2025 (~$110–$117M) and free cash flow positive in those years, but free cash flow has been choppy (negative in 2022 and down again in 2024–2025). Cash conversion is mixed: free cash flow is only ~33% of net income in 2024 and ~52% in 2025 (better, but still not consistently strong), while 2022 showed cash burn despite positive net income. Overall, cash flow supports operations, but consistency and conversion quality are a watch item.

On February 19, 2026, Gentherm reported 2025 results showing record annual product revenue of $1.5 billion and operating cash flow up 7% year over year, while net income, gross margin and adjusted EBITDA declined amid higher material costs and footprint realignment expenses.

Gentherm to acquire Modine Performance Technologies in merger
Positive
Jan 29, 2026

On January 29, 2026, Gentherm entered into definitive agreements with Modine Manufacturing to acquire Modine’s Performance Technologies business through a Reverse Morris Trust transaction, under which Modine will first transfer the business into a new subsidiary, Platinum SpinCo, distribute SpinCo shares pro rata to Modine shareholders, and then merge SpinCo with a Gentherm subsidiary so that SpinCo becomes a wholly owned Gentherm unit. After completion, which is subject to multiple regulatory, tax and shareholder approvals and other customary conditions, Gentherm shareholders are expected to own about 60% and former SpinCo shareholders about 40% of the combined company on a fully diluted basis, with the structure designed to preserve tax efficiency, supported by a $210 million cash distribution from SpinCo to Modine and bridge financing that will later be refinanced with permanent debt; the deal, unanimously approved by both boards, will add Modine’s Performance Technologies operations under Gentherm’s control, reshape Gentherm’s shareholder base and board composition, and increase its leverage while positioning the company as a larger thermal management player pending successful execution and integration.

The most recent analyst rating on (THRM) stock is a Hold with a $39.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Gentherm stock, see the THRM Stock Forecast page.

Gentherm to Merge with Modine Performance Technologies Unit
Positive
Jan 29, 2026

On January 29, 2026, Gentherm and Modine announced a definitive agreement to spin off and simultaneously combine Modine’s Performance Technologies business with Gentherm in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction valued at about $1.0 billion, creating a scaled leader in thermal management solutions with pro forma revenue of $2.6 billion, a 13% synergy-adjusted EBITDA margin and net leverage of roughly 1.0x. The deal, unanimously approved by both boards, will leave Modine shareholders owning about 40% and Gentherm shareholders about 60% of the combined company, while Modine retains its Climate Solutions unit as a pure-play data center and commercial HVAC and refrigeration business; the transaction is expected to broaden Gentherm’s portfolio, reduce its dependence on light vehicles, unlock cost and commercial synergies including cross-selling and new market access, and give Modine investors exposure to two more focused, higher-growth thermal and climate platforms.
