Corsair Gaming 2025 Q2 Earnings Narrowed Losses Signal Improvement

Corsair Gaming reported its fiscal 2025 Q2 earnings on August 8, 2025. The company delivered better-than-expected performance, with revenue rising 22.5% year-over-year and a significant reduction in net loss. The firm maintained its full-year revenue guidance, indicating confidence in its strategic direction and operational improvements.

Corsair Gaming posted total revenue of $320.11 million in 2025 Q2, reflecting a 22.5% increase from $261.30 million in the same period in 2024. This growth was driven across multiple segments, including a strong performance in Gaming Components and Systems. The Gamer and Creator Peripherals segment generated $102.64 million in revenue, while the Gaming Components and Systems segment contributed $217.47 million. Additionally, the Memory Products segment brought in $104.97 million, and Other Component Products added $112.50 million, collectively underpinning the company’s robust top-line results.

The company narrowed its losses, reporting a net loss of $-20.31 million in 2025 Q2, down from $-23.51 million in the prior year, a 13.6% reduction. On a per-share basis, Corsair’s loss improved to $0.16 per share from $0.28 per share, representing a 42.9% improvement. These results indicate a positive trend in cost management and operational efficiency, despite ongoing challenges in the market.

Corsair Gaming’s stock has experienced a downward trend, with the price falling 2.32% during the latest trading day, 2.21% in the most recent full trading week, and 7.52% month-to-date. This negative price action suggests investor concern despite improved earnings results.

A post-earnings trading strategy of buying CRSR after a beat and holding for 30 days performed poorly, returning -75.71%, significantly underperforming the benchmark by 116.38%. The strategy showed no downside protection, with a maximum drawdown of 0% and a Sharpe ratio of -0.58, highlighting the high risk and poor risk-adjusted returns associated with the approach.

Thi L. La, CEO of Corsair Gaming, emphasized a strong Q2 performance with 23% year-over-year revenue growth and EBITDA of $8.1 million. He cited strength in Gaming Components and Systems as a key driver, along with market share gains, new product launches, and demand fueled by GPU upgrades and game releases. Looking ahead, La outlined strategic priorities including innovation, margin expansion through efficiency and M&A, and channel expansion into underserved markets like Asia and Latin America. He acknowledged potential headwinds from tariffs but expressed confidence in navigating them through pricing and product strategy.

Corsair reaffirmed its full-year 2025 net revenue guidance of $1.4 billion to $1.6 billion. CFO Michael G. Potter noted that adjusted operating income and EBITDA guidance would be updated later in the year, depending on macroeconomic and trade policy developments. The company expects to continue reducing debt and maintaining cash flow discipline to support growth amid potential short-term impacts from tariffs.
