What's in Store for Logitech (LOGI) This Earnings Season?
Read MoreHide Full Article
Logitech (LOGI - Free Report) is scheduled to report second-quarter fiscal 2021 results on Oct 19.
Over the trailing four quarters, the company’s earnings beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate on three occasions and missed in the other, the average surprise being 24.1%.
In the last reported quarter, the company’s adjusted earnings climbed 64% year over year to 64 cents per share and beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 77.8% as well. Net sales grew 23% to $792 million and also surpassed the consensus mark of $706 million.
For the fiscal second quarter, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $841.1 million, suggesting a 16.9% increase from the year-ago quarter. The consensus mark for earnings is pinned at 61 cents, calling for an improvement of 22% year on year.
Let’s see how things have shaped up prior to this announcement.
Key Factors
Logitech’s fiscal second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from growth in its Video Collaboration business, driven by the rising work-from-home and learn-from-home trends. Also, the PC peripheral market is witnessing strong traction, which bodes well for the company.
Additionally, demand for its gaming products is likely to have shot up during the quarter to be reported owing to the growing popularity of online video games and eSports amid the pandemic-led stay-at-home environment.
However, the Mobile Speakers segment might have continued being weak in the quarter under review because of the closing of retailers worldwide due to the pandemic.
Also, the first two quarters of the fiscal year typically generate the lowest cash flow as Logitech builds inventory for the holiday season.
What Our Model Says
Our proven model does not predict an earnings beat for Infosys this season. The combination of a positive Earnings ESP, and Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold), increases the chances of an earnings beat. But that’s not the case here. You can uncover the best stocks to buy or sell, before they’re reported, with our Earnings ESP Filter.
Infosys currently carries a Zacks Rank of 3 and has an Earnings ESP of 0.00%.
