Barclays maintains an 'Equalweight' on Garmin Ltd. (NASDAQ: GRMN), PT $30.

Barclays analyst says, "Overall, we believe that trends in Garmin's core businesses are progressing broadly in-line. Namely, absent any unforeseeable demand shocks, we believe the company is managing its declining PND business, while continuing to support growth initiatives in its other segments...PND Market Declines In-Line with Expectations: Our checks suggest that US PND shipments are thus far trending in-line, with annual expectations of mid-teens unit declines. Last year's inventory issue is unlikely to repeat itself, while share is locked between the top two vendors. A mix shift to lifetime map products and subsequent revenue deferral remains a near-term margin headwind."

"While uncertainty around the pace of declines in Garmin's largest business is likely to remain an overhang, valuation support and a proactive capital allocation strategy are likely to keep the shares range-bound."
