Corsair Stock Falls Below $5 Ahead of Earnings

Corsair has been listed on Nasdaq since September 2020, when the company made an IPO at $17 per share. However, the company, which is a gaming staple, has now fallen to a measly sub-$5 range for the first time. Just days ahead of its full-year earnings and Q4 2025 results scheduled for February 12, Corsair is trading at $4.80 with a market capitalization of $504.63 million. During the first three months of its public listing, the stock reached an all-time high of $51.37, and the price has been in free fall since. This represents a 90% market value reduction over nearly five and a half years.

For the previous Q3 2025 report, the company reported a year-over-year revenue increase of 14% to $345.8 million, with projections for a full-year outlook being $1.425 billion to $1.475 billion, and adjusted operating income in the range of $76 million to $81 million. However, since the stock is now falling, we can expect that the earnings will possibly be at the lower end of the range. Interestingly, Corsair is one of the few publicly listed companies with revenues exceeding its market capitalization. This indicates that the company is capturing a significant revenue share among PC enthusiasts, but its operating costs are very high, and the business is net profit margin negative, which is a massive concern for investors using their hard-earned funds.
For a full-year outlook, we still need to see if Corsair's DDR5 memory revenue and pre-built gaming PC revenue will be sufficient to offset some of the negativity surrounding the stock. We need to wait a few more days before drawing final conclusions and see how the stock reacts to the latest earnings.

Thanks to everyone for the answers. At the beginning I was thinking to buy a Seasonic Vertex, but prices are a bit too high, at least for me XD. So, I decided to go for a Corsair HX1200i (2025).
I found a very interesting guide here (from hwbusters dot com)

docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1akCHL7Vhzk_EhrpIGkz8zTEvYfLDcaSpZRB6Xt6JWkc/edit?gid=931697732#gid=931697732

And, lately, I discovered that Cybenetics publishes an INCREDIBLE set of data related to their certifications (efficiency ecc.).

www.cybenetics.com/index.php?option=power-supplies

It is the most incredible source of PSU data I ever seen! XD
For EVERY PSU there is the indication of the MANUFACTURER!

Analysing the two link above, I reached the conclusion that the HX1200i may be a very good unit (the other being the Be Quiet Dark Power 14, but is not easily available in my country).

Said that, I'm open to advice, if someone has some to spare.

That's a good PSU. Cybernetics also has a performance database where you can sort PSUs by various data points, including overall and performance specifically: www.cybenetics.com/index.php?option=psu-performance-database

Any of those top rating PSUs are a fine choice.

The ShieldCan you explain your thought? I was going to buy a Corsair PSU and I am interested in users opinion.
For me, in last years:

2 gaming mouse
1 AIO Liquid Cooler
4 fan case
1 kit of RAM

All faulty or dead.

Corsair software is shame.

I'm gradually getting rid of all products from this brand and goodbye forever to Corsair.

Companies that are struggling now and haven't entered server / AI market are basically dead. We're just in the starting phase of price increases, and prices are already too high for most of the consumers.

Memory prices "stabilizing" isn't exactly a comforting news, because they are stabilizing at ridiculous prices, and stocks are diminishing. Storage prices are allegedly only starting to go up, and they are already 100% overpriced. Graphics cards are going the way of the Dodo, large complex chips and large memory, in 2026? We make AI with that, not toys!

FreedomEclipseWhy buy corsair when I can buy directly from their biggest OEM -- Seasonic and get superior quality and the same 7-10 year warranties?
Seasonic isn't their main OEM at all, CWT is, Great Wall for the SFX and SFX-L PSUs. Superior quality isn't a given at all just because it bears the Seasonic brand name, they make plenty of trash too.
FreedomEclipseIm not interested in their chairs, their peripherals, Their cases are outright fucking boring and theyve been boring for a long time. I dont care about their elgato streaming setup shit. Their RAM supposedly doesnt work too well with AMD setups although they've probably fixed this by now and on top of that theyve been cancelling orders that people made because they (corsair) thought their RAM was selling for too cheap or a "Pricing Error"as they like to call it.
Agreed with all this though.

Seasonic specifically did all if not most of Corsair's AX line. AXi was mainly Flextronics IIRC?? I dont recall Seasonic doing the AXi's although they might have done a few runs initially. Not that it means much anymore because the AX line has been discontinued. Nobody can buy one fresh from the shelf.

Also. Id be real careful about talking trash about Seasonic in this part of town friend. People here rate them quite highly. **spits**

I use a Corsair PSU and they have been great for me. I had a different top of the line PSU and it was loud from the first day I bought it and it died premature. Anywho, got a Corsair AX1500i (bought in 2017) which is now in my son's computer because I bought a 5090 and I wanted a dedicated power cable. I ended up with the HX1500i Digital ATX - 1500w - 80 Plus Platinum. I've been extremely happy with both PSUs and both are still working without issue.

Corsair products sell at a premium price. It's hard to believe those prices and revenue aren't profitable. But some comments here say that Corsair contracts out all manufacturing and maybe even the engineering, so maybe that's where all the money is going. Most companies do at least some of that internally.

these posts explain why i got so many negative feedback when i shared my defective corsair psu.

i do not see corsair quality.

on topic, the shares are 4.80 us dollar too expensive for what it is worth it.

my enermax psu does it job. as expected.

i admit it was a mistake to ask when i transited over to desktop platform with the introduction of the radeon 6600xt to ask newbiebase.de to recommend me parts. the atx case was choosen by mself and was a good choice. corsair rm750 and corsair mp 600 pro 1tb were bad choices. cpu and dram and motherboard were my choices. gpu were a bad choice as i had to rma the asrock gpu for defective fans.

Corsair quality is just the contractor quality of whoever actually made their PSU products. So it is highly variable between different models and manufacturers. As others have said, even Seasonic, which is held up as the gold standard of PSU manufacturing, has made bad products before.

People really need to look at the product recommendation spreadsheets before buying. Any review of a PSU you are considering should take into account the internal topology and component selection of the PSU or you are just wasting your time.

This is not limited to Corsair; I think this applies to all PSU companies. Product quality can and does change from product to product.

In the past they might've made more PSUs for Corsair, but before posting I checked on lists such as this one and they are for sure not showing up often ;

PSUs are like this though. I'm not saying Seasonic is trash but always be careful. Brand name means nothing, even among ODMs. Looks like even some other made PSUs branded Seasonic, like Helly, Shenzhen RSY... seems old units tho
