Logitech G Named Official Steering Wheel Partner for SEGA's Crazy Taxi: World Tour
Logitech G has become the official steering wheel partner for SEGA's upcoming Crazy Taxi: World Tour, scheduled to launch in 2027, supporting the G29, G920, G923, RS50, and PRO Racing Wheel, with TRUEFORCE haptic feedback on select models, and SEGA has joined Logitech G's Developer Alliance. The deal builds on a Gaming segment that grew 12% year over year to $354.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2027, but Logitech warned in July that an incident at a semiconductor supplier's manufacturing facility could cut sales by approximately $20 million in Q2 and up to $200 million in Q3, a disruption heading into the holiday shopping period. CEO Hanneke Faber said the general supply situation for semiconductors is unusually tight across the industry and getting significantly more supply ahead of the holidays is particularly challenging. A Morgan Stanley analyst assigned a Sell rating to the stock on September 18, and analysts expect earnings to stay nearly flat this fiscal year before growth of 6% to 9% over the next three years. Logitech holds $1.75 billion in cash against $84.39 million in debt, while hedge fund holders fell from 26 at the end of the first quarter of 2026 to 22 at the start of Q2 2026 and short interest stood at 9.26% as of August 31, 2026.

Prosper Stars & Stripes Shorts Dolby Laboratories on AI Cost Pressure
Prosper Stars & Stripes disclosed in its second-quarter 2026 investor letter that it has shorted Dolby Laboratories, Universal Display Corp and Logitech International on the theme that the AI investment boom is crowding out spending elsewhere. The fund said cost pressures on technology components such as DRAM will push consumer electronics prices higher, hitting back-to-school and holiday spending, the key periods for these companies' end markets, and it expects the forecasts these companies are providing at this time of the year to prove optimistic. It added that the so-called K-shaped economy, in which consumers feel the pressure of rising living costs, will continue to squeeze discretionary purchases, and that rising prices make it nearly impossible to use discounts to stimulate sales. Dolby Laboratories closed at $61.91 per share on September 14, 2026, with a market capitalization of $5.79 billion, a 52-week range of $48.26 to $73.01, a 1.33% return over the past month and a 14.24% loss over the past 52 weeks. The fund's portfolio returned a net 30.1% in the second quarter of 2026, against 21.5% for the Russell 2000 Index and 10.3% for the HFRX Equity Hedge Index, and is up 23.7% year to date versus 22.6% for the Russell 2000 and 9.7% for the HFRI Equity Hedge Index. Twenty-eight hedge fund portfolios held Dolby Laboratories at the end of the second quarter, unchanged from the previous quarter.

LOGN.SW · Demand · Negative Named as a short on the view that AI cost pressures lift consumer electronics prices and weaken discretionary spending in its key selling periods.

Swiss Market Index Falls as Logitech Drops on Supply Chain Disruption
The Swiss Market Index fell 93.61 points, or 0.65%, to close at 14,392.49 on Thursday, underperforming most European peers amid earnings reactions and geopolitical concerns. Logitech International tumbled 6.5%, extending its decline after reporting a serious supply chain disruption in its fiscal first-quarter earnings, with a Barclays price-target cut adding pressure. Roche and Novartis each lost about 2.3%, while VAT Group climbed 4% and ABB gained 3.1%. The KOF Economic Barometer rose to 103.5 in July from an upwardly revised 102.1 in June, beating expectations and reaching its highest level since February.
Logitech International Trades Below Analyst Targets After Earnings Beat and Supplier Warning
Logitech International reported higher sales and earnings in its latest quarterly report but warned that a semiconductor supplier shutdown may constrain upcoming revenue. The stock recently traded at CHF87.82, with a 10.35% one-month return and an 18.98% one-year total shareholder return. A widely followed narrative pegs fair value at CHF91.83, suggesting the shares are about 4.4% undervalued, though the valuation gap depends on the performance of its peripherals and gaming segments. The company is investing in recurring-revenue software platforms like Streamlabs and G HUB, expanding into services, and targeting new verticals such as education and healthcare to build higher-margin revenue streams.
Logitech warns supplier shutdown will cut up to $200 million in third-quarter sales
Logitech warned that a temporary shutdown at a key semiconductor supplier will reduce second-quarter sales by $20 million and third-quarter sales by as much as $200 million, sending shares down 5%. The third quarter encompasses the peak holiday shopping season and is traditionally the company's most important period. CEO Hanneke Faber called the issue temporary and said the operations team remains a powerhouse, while Citi analyst Asiya Merchant maintained a Buy rating citing strong execution. Logitech's fiscal first-quarter revenue rose 7% to $1.23 billion and adjusted earnings per share jumped 47% to $1.85, both beating estimates, but the company declined to issue full-year guidance due to the supplier incident.
Logitech Q1 Earnings Beat Estimates on Tariff Refunds and Premium Demand
Logitech International reported first-quarter fiscal 2027 non-GAAP earnings of $1.85 per share, up 47% year over year and beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 39.1%. Revenues rose 7% to $1.23 billion, topping estimates by 2.1%, driven by strong demand for premium pointing devices, gaming products, and video collaboration solutions. Non-GAAP gross margin expanded 770 basis points to 49.8%, aided by $61 million in tariff refunds, favorable currency movements, product mix, and cost reductions. Gaming revenues increased 12% to $354.2 million, pointing devices climbed 16% to $227.3 million, and video collaboration sales advanced 11% to $185.3 million, while keyboards and combos rose 2% to $227.8 million. For the second quarter, Logitech expects revenues between $1.19 billion and $1.22 billion, implying 0-3% growth, and non-GAAP operating income between $185 million and $210 million, with an estimated $20 million revenue headwind from a semiconductor supplier shutdown.
Bank of America downgrades Logitech to Underperform on price hike concerns
Bank of America downgraded Logitech to Underperform from Neutral, citing expectations that recent price hikes on PCs, tablets, and smartphones will materially worsen demand for the computer peripherals company over the next 12 to 18 months. Analyst Didier Scemama lowered fiscal 2027 to 2029 earnings per share estimates by 6 to 11 percent and cut the price objective from 85 Swiss francs to 70 Swiss francs. Scemama noted that price increases of up to 25 percent on devices could push consumers toward lower-priced alternatives, potentially pressuring gross margins into the high-30 to low-40 percent range despite management's ability to hold margins above 43 percent. The analyst also expects operating expenses to decline by 2.8 to 10.5 percent over the period, though marketing and promotional costs may remain elevated amid weaker demand.
Piper Sandler double upgraded Block to Overweight from Underweight and raised its price target to $100 from $58. Arete downgraded Trade Desk to Sell from Neutral with an $11.60 target. Other notable calls include Deutsche Bank upgrading Comcast to Buy, HSBC cutting Fortinet to Reduce, and Bank of America downgrading both Logitech and Scorpio Tankers to Underperform. New coverage was initiated on Klarna with a Market Perform at Citizens and on Visa with an Overweight at Piper Sandler.
