Read MoreHide Full Article
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Logitech (LOGI - Free Report) . Shares have lost about 7.2% in that time frame, underperforming the S&P 500.
Will the recent negative trend continue leading up to its next earnings release, or is Logitech due for a breakout? Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Logitech Q2 Earnings and Revenues Surpass Estimates
Logitech reported second-quarter fiscal 2025 non-GAAP earnings of $1.20 per share, which beat the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $1.1 and increased 10% year over year. The company’s bottom-line results benefited from increased revenues and lower product costs, slightly offset by rising promotional spending leading to gross margin expansion.
Logitech’s second-quarter revenues of $1.12 billion outpaced the consensus mark of $1.09 billion. Moreover, the top line marked a year-over-year increase of 6% on a reported basis and 6% on a constant-currency basis, driven by higher demand across key product categories and efficient inventory management.
Logitech’s Segment Details
Logitech registered sales growth across the majority of key product categories year over year. In the first quarter of fiscal 2024, LOGI reclassified its product segments by removing the Audio & Wearable and Mobile Speakers categories and adding Headsets and Other categories.
Revenues from Keyboards & Combos improved 8% year over year to $210 million. Gaming revenues increased 7% year over year to $300.5 million. Our model estimates for Keyboards & Combos and Gaming revenues were pegged at $207.3 million and $294.6 million, respectively.
Revenues from the Headsets product category jumped 6% to $46.9 million, Pointing Devices grew 2% to $196 million, Tablet Accessories increased 34% to $85.6 million and Video Collaboration increased 5% to $159.7 million. Our model estimates for Headsets, Pointing Devices, Tablet Accessories and Video Collaboration were pegged at $44.9 million, $192.7 million, $66.7 million and $153 million, respectively.
On the other hand, Webcams declined 9% to $80.2 million and the Other category’s revenues fell 6% to $37.3 million. Our estimates for Logitech’s Webcams and Other category’s first-quarter revenues were pegged at $83.4 million and $34.8 million, respectively.

It now expects fiscal 2025 sales in the band of $4.39-$4.47 billion, up from the previous guidance of $4.34-$4.43 billion. The revised top-line projection reflects a year-over-year increase in the band of 2-4%, up from the earlier range of 1-3%.

In the past month, investors have witnessed an upward trend in estimates review.
VGM Scores
Currently, Logitech has a nice Growth Score of B, though it is lagging a bit on the Momentum Score front with a C. Charting a somewhat similar path, the stock was allocated a grade of B on the value side, putting it in the top 40% for this investment strategy.
Overall, the stock has an aggregate VGM Score of B. If you aren't focused on one strategy, this score is the one you should be interested in.
