Logitech turns negative despite FY outlook hike and strong Q2 results
Updates the share move and milestone and adds analyst comments
** Shares in Logitech International LOGN.S reverse course and fall as much as 5.2% despite a set of strong Q2 results and FY outlook upgrade
** "I sense the beat was driven by less relevant categories such as webcams and tablets," said Kepler Cheuvreux analyst Torsten Sauter, citing the strong gross margin is also offset by higher marketing spent
** The guidance hike is only reflective of the Q2 beat, nothing more and nothing less, he added
** Stifel expects consensus earnings per share estimates to rise by 3-5% for 2025 as the guidance looks conservative and leaves its "Hold" rating unchanged
** Logitech now expects FY sales to be between $4.39 billion and $4.47 billion (4.06 billion-4.13 billion euros), compared to the earlier target of $4.34 billion to $4.43 billion
** The company's Q2 non-GAAP operating income came in at $193 million, up from $183 million a year earlier, which was a 10% beat vs Visible Alpha consensus, according to Stifel
** The stock, which including today's fall has dropped by 8.78% YTD, hits the bottom ofthe Swiss blue chip index .SSMI and is among the worst performers of the pan-European index Stoxx 600 .STOXX index
