Logitech International SA (LOGI) (Q2 2027) Earnings Call Highlights: 11th Straight Quarter
Logitech (LOGI) anticipates Q3 net sales to decline 5% YoY due to a $70-$80M supplier incident impact and Middle East conflict. Gross margin is expected to drop by 200 basis points to 41%-42% due to rising costs and promotional spending. Tablet accessories sales fell 30% YoY, and EMEA sales declined 6% YoY. Operating expenses grew faster than sales, with no specific timeline for revenue growth acceleration.
