Corsair Gaming, Inc. CRSR is scheduled to report second-quarter 2021 results on Aug 3, 2021. In the last reported quarter, the company delivered an earnings surprise of 65.7%.

Factors to Note

Corsair’s second-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from robust performance of Gamer and creator peripherals segment. Launch of its Corsair One a200 gaming PC powered by the new AMD Ryzen 5000-series CPU and the Corsair One i200 powered by a new 11th Gen Intel Core CPU bode well.

Several high-performance products such as SCUF-branded H1 customizable wired gaming headset, wireless mouse, haptic headset and many more are likely to have contributed to the to-be-reported quarter’s top line. Implementation of new product launches (approximately two per week) and increased supply might have contributed to the quarterly performance as well. The second-quarter top line is likely to reflect robust end demand for its new products such as the K65 mini RGB keyboard and Elgato’s new accessories. The company introduced 29 new products in first-quarter and continues maintain the pace of new products launch.

However, disruptions in supply chain due to the coronavirus pandemic, and rise in product development and freight costs are likely to have hurt margins in the to-be-reported quarter.
