Logitech's second-quarter results showed resilient demand, but a semiconductor supplier disruption will weigh on the holiday quarter. In the earnings call published by Investing.com, management said the expected sales impact had been reduced sharply through mitigation measures.

Logitech stock traded at 86.17 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 17:50 CET on Monday, November 9, 2026.

Holiday Quarter Carries The Main Risk

For the third quarter of fiscal 2027, Logitech expects sales of 1.36 billion to 1.43 billion US dollars, equivalent to a decline of 5% to flat in constant currency. The outlook includes a 70 million to 80 million US dollar sales impact from the supplier incident.

The disruption began after a serious incident closed the semiconductor facility at the end of June. The plant reopened in September and was ramping production, while Logitech expanded secondary sourcing, redesigned products and adjusted commercial plans. Management expects the facility to reach full production by the end of calendar 2026 and the impact to be largely resolved in fiscal Q4.

Core Categories Still Gain Share

The second quarter ended September 30, 2026, produced 1.2 billion US dollars in sales, up 3% in US dollars and 2% in constant currency. It was the company's eleventh consecutive quarter of year-over-year sales growth.

Video Collaboration sales increased 12% in constant currency and gaming sales rose 7%, according to the earnings-call transcript. Pointing devices and keyboards each grew 4% despite a roughly 20% decline in global PC shipments, supporting management's view that market-share gains and demand from the installed base remain important growth levers.

Margins Face A Near-Term Reset

Logitech expects third-quarter non-GAAP operating income of 220 million to 255 million US dollars and a non-GAAP gross-margin rate of 41% to 42%. Higher freight, logistics and component costs, together with modestly higher holiday promotions, are expected to pressure profitability during the seasonally important quarter.
