Growth Drivers:

This Switzerland-based company is benefiting from strong momentum in the video collaboration, gaming, and creativity & productivity businesses. It has been able to leverage its software and go-to-market capabilities to drive market share gains and growth.

Notably, the company had registered a whopping 117% surge in fourth-quarter fiscal 2021 revenues and 245% jump in non-GAAP earnings per share. The top and bottom lines also surpassed the respective Zacks Consensus Estimate.

Logitech has been gaining from elevated demand for its Video Collaboration tools, mainly driven by the surging work-from-home and learn-from-home trends. Also, the PC peripheral market is witnessing strong traction, which is aiding top-line growth. Additionally, demand for gaming products has shot up on the growing popularity of online video games and eSports amid the stay-at-home scenario.

We believe the thriving cloud-based video conferencing services will continue to be the key catalyst. Rising adoption of new mobile platforms in both mature and emerging markets will further fuel demand for Logitech’s peripherals and accessories. Moreover, partnerships with cloud providers like

are major positives for the company.
