Corsair Gaming News Summary

Here are the key news stories impacting Corsair Gaming this week:

• Positive Sentiment: Corsair beat expectations for Q4: EPS $0.43 vs. $0.26 est. and revenue $436.9M vs. $422.7M est.; revenue was up 5.6% year-over-year — these results and the company materials (press release/slide deck) are the primary bullish catalyst. MarketBeat Earnings
• Positive Sentiment: Industry analysts continue to show interest in Corsair, with at least one roundup highlighting Corsair as a bullish tech pick — supportive for sentiment and coverage. Globe & Mail
• Neutral Sentiment: B. Riley raised its price target to $7.00 from $6.00 but maintained a “neutral” rating — the PT lift is mildly supportive but the rating signals no conviction for a strong upside. Benzinga
• Neutral Sentiment: Full Q4 earnings call transcript and supplemental slide deck are available for investors who want detail on product, channel, and margin drivers — useful for modeling but informational rather than catalytic. Seeking Alpha Transcript
• Neutral Sentiment: Coverage/compare pieces (e.g., Super Group vs. Corsair) are being published — they expand visibility but don’t change fundamentals immediately. American Banking News
• Neutral Sentiment: Short-interest items were reported but the public data in these notices appears inconsistent (zeros/NaN); nothing actionable from the reported figures.
• Negative Sentiment: Corsair trimmed FY‑2026 revenue guidance to about $1.3–$1.5 billion versus a ~$1.6 billion street consensus — this guidance shortfall is the primary bearish factor and likely capped upside despite the quarterly beat.
