Corsair Gaming (NASDAQ:CRSR) stock is taking a beating Friday and the traders over on r/WSB aren’t happy about the news.
The fall of CRSR stock today comes alongside weak preliminary earnings for the third quarter of 2021. This has it expecting revenue for the quarter to come in at $391 million. That would have it vastly missing Wall Street’s estimate of $484.11 million.
The update from Corsair Gaming also includes new revenue guidance for the full year of 2021. This has it expecting revenue for the period to come in between $1.825 billion and $1.925 billion. Yet again, that’s not looking good next to analysts’ estimates of $2.04 billion for the current year.
Andy Paul, CEO of Corsair Gaming, said this in the preliminary earnings update.
“We believe that our 2021 net revenue has been held back at least 10% by global logistics and supply chain issues, especially by the lack of affordable GPUs in the retail channel. After a slower start to the third quarter of 2021, we have seen a return to more typical seasonal ordering with September being the strongest month in the quarter.”
