Robust ordering season in September, backed by increased penetration of first-time gamers and streamers is likely to have aided the company’s results during the third quarter. The fact that gamers are spending more time indoors and improving their gaming skills paves a path for increased upgrades in terms of peripherals as well as gaming PCs. This along with emphasis on new product launches is likely to have aided the third-quarter top line.For third-quarter 2021, the company anticipates net revenues of $391 million compared with $457.1 recorded in the prior-year quarter. The company also updated the 2021 annual net revenue guidance to $1.8-$1.9 billion. The net revenue guidance was slightly down from the previous view of $1.9-$2.1 billion.We believe that the shortage of graphics cards and semiconductor along with logistics issues (increased freight costs) and port delays is likely to have affected the company’s performance in the third quarter. Also, higher investments in R&D, marketing and infrastructure coupled with a decline in memory chip prices are likely to have dented margins in the to-be-reported quarter.What the Zacks Model UnveilsOur proven model doesn’t predict an earnings beat for Corsair this time.
