Investment Highlights Why It Matters Which of these 2 stories sounds closer for this stock?

1. Generates cash flow

The stock generated 4% or more of the share price (called cash flow yield), and shows moderate 10-15% or more growth.

2. Riding a trend

Think Tesla during the pandemic of 2020 when EVs were riding a cultural high, or Nvidia in the current AI boom, or even Figma. These companies don’t have enough yield, or, enough growth, or both - however - they are riding a trend. They have momentum. These can be more volatile - they don’t have the floor of strong cash flow

Why The Stock Moved


Qualitative Assessment

AI Generated Analysis | Feedback

For the period between August 31, 2025, and December 4, 2025, Corsair Gaming (CRSR) experienced a stock decline of approximately 24.9% due to several key factors.

1. Q3 2025 Earnings Miss: Corsair Gaming reported its third-quarter 2025 adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.06, which missed analyst forecasts of $0.09. Furthermore, while revenue increased by 14% year-over-year to $345.8 million, it still fell slightly below analyst expectations of $354.05 million. This dual miss in both profitability and revenue led to a notable negative reaction in the market, with the stock declining 7.28% in after-hours trading immediately following the announcement.

2. Revised Full-Year 2025 Guidance: Concurrently with its Q3 earnings, Corsair Gaming updated its full-year 2025 financial outlook. The company projected net revenue to be in the range of $1.425 billion to $1.475 billion. This revised guidance, particularly when compared to earlier more optimistic projections for 2025 revenue ($1.4 billion to $1.6 billion) from Q4 2024 reports, was likely perceived by investors as a downward adjustment, contributing to negative sentiment.
