Stock Track | Corsair Gaming Shares Plunge as Disappointing Q3 Results, Weak Outlook Spook Investors

Stock Track11-08

Shares of Corsair Gaming, Inc. (CRSR) plummeted 5.11% on November 8th, following the company's release of its third-quarter 2024 financial results that significantly missed Wall Street expectations. The gaming peripherals and components maker also lowered its full-year guidance, citing macroeconomic headwinds and industry challenges.

For the third quarter ended September 30, 2024, Corsair reported a staggering net loss of $51.6 million, or $0.56 per share, widely missing analysts' projections of a profit of $0.06 per share. While revenue declined 16.2% year-over-year to $304.2 million, it still managed to beat consensus estimates of $302.5 million.

The lackluster performance was primarily driven by a 26% revenue decline in Corsair's core Gaming Components and Systems segment, which accounted for $202.2 million of the total revenue. This decline was attributed to the end of the current GPU cycle and weaker consumer demand. Despite a 13% revenue growth in the Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment to $102 million, it was not enough to offset the weakness in the company's core business.

In light of the disappointing results, Corsair's management revised its full-year guidance downward, citing macroeconomic headwinds and industry challenges. The company's shares have been under pressure, reflecting investors' concerns over the company's ability to navigate the current market environment.
