Based on LOGI earning consider this:

If the P/E remains the same and they hit the earnings number in the "Outlook" below, the PPS should almost double.

The one good thing about considering if they will reach the number is they keep announcing "beats" all the time.

Just repeating this, the last full year earnings were $102 million or an EPS of 59¢. Their current P/E is almost 22.

There are 173 million outstanding shares.

If they hit their Non-Gaap profit number of $170, that's nearly $1 per share. It's an impressive forecast.

If their P/E drops to 18, that's still an upside of nearly 50%.

With the accounting investigation wrapped up, I suspect there will be changes and restatements made to past filings that won't materially effect the stock's PPS now.

They also haven't announced a dividend for this year. I suspect because of the restatements, that may be the one casualty.



Logitech Delivers Better-Than-Expected Results in Q2 FY 2015

By
Published: Oct 22, 2014 10:00 p.m. ET

Audit Committee’s Independent Investigation Now Closed, Filings to Follow

Time (EDT)
Logitech International S.A.

NEWARK, Calif. & LAUSANNE, Switzerland, Oct 22, 2014 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Logitech International (six:LOGN) LOGI, +3.31% today announced preliminary unaudited and unreviewed financial results for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2015.

* Q2 sales were $530 million, essentially flat compared to the prior year, with retail sales up 2 percent.

* Q2 GAAP operating income was $42 million, with GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $0.22, compared to $0.09 in the same quarter a year ago.

* Q2 non-GAAP operating income was $59 million, with non-GAAP EPS of $0.31, compared to $0.20 a year ago.

* Q2 cash flow from operations was approximately $33 million, doubling year-over-year and the highest Q2 in the last five years.

“Our performance in Q2 shows continued progress toward our full-year objectives, with growth in retail sales, better-than-expected profitability and improved cash generation,” said Bracken P. Darrell, Logitech president and chief executive officer. “Sales in our Growth category – PC Gaming, Mobile Speakers and Tablet and Other Accessories – grew by double digits for the sixth quarter in a row, increasing 27 percent year-over-year in Q2. It was our sixth consecutive quarter in which Mobile Speakers sales more than doubled. We’ve entered the second half of the year with a robust product portfolio and a pipeline of compelling new products set to launch in the coming quarters. This is our strategy of delivering fewer and bigger products in action.”

Outlook

Logitech confirmed its outlook for Fiscal Year 2015 of approximately $2.16 billion in sales, assuming relatively stable currency exchange rates, and approximately $170 million in non-GAAP operating income.

Prepared Remarks Available Online

Logitech has made its prepared written remarks for the financial results teleconference available online on the Logitech corporate Web site at http://ir.logitech.com.

Financial Results Teleconference and Webcast

Logitech will hold a financial results teleconference to discuss the preliminary results for Q2 FY 2015 on Oct. 24, 2014 at 8:30 a.m. Eastern Daylight Time and 14:30 Central European Summer Time. A live webcast of the call will be available on the Logitech corporate website at http://ir.logitech.com.

Audit Committee Investigation Closed

As previously disclosed, Logitech’s Audit Committee, with the assistance of independent advisors, was conducting an independent investigation of certain accounting matters related to the Company’s previously issued financial statements. The investigation is now closed.

With the investigation closed, Logitech is performing the necessary work to complete and file its Annual Report for FY 2014, Annual Report on Form 10-K for FY 2014 and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for Q1 and Q2 FY 2015. The Company intends to file these reports as soon as possible to regain compliance with Nasdaq and SIX Swiss Exchange listing requirements.

Last month, Logitech announced the restatement of its financial statements for Fiscal Years 2011 and 2012 and for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2012, related to inventory valuation reserves for the Company’s discontinued Revue product. In connection with the restatement, there will be other immaterial corrections to the financial statements for Fiscal Years 2010 and 2013, as well as the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2014. None of these other corrections are material to the respective years or to the interim period.

Preliminary financial information for the second quarter of Fiscal Year 2015 was compiled by the Company and has not yet been reviewed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the preliminary results for the first and second quarters of Fiscal Year 2015 and the results for the corresponding period of Fiscal Year 2014 contained in this press release may be subject to potentially material adjustment.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information

To facilitate comparisons to Logitech’s historical results, Logitech has included non-GAAP adjusted measures, which exclude share-based compensation expense, amortization of other intangible assets, restructuring charges (credits), other restructuring-related charges, investment impairment (recovery), benefit from (provision for) income taxes, one-time special charges and other items detailed under “Supplemental Financial Information” after the tables below. Logitech believes this information will help investors to evaluate its current period performance and trends in its business. With respect to the Company’s outlook for Fiscal Year 2015 non-GAAP operating income, most of these excluded amounts pertain to events that have not yet occurred and are not currently possible to estimate with a reasonable degree of accuracy. Therefore, no reconciliation to the GAAP amount has been provided.

This ZACKS article is interesting in the context they use, and what I see independently in the sector.

LOGI isn't a screaming buy but with the upward analyst revisions to an annual EPS of 71¢, the forward PE comes down to 19.

What makes this compelling are several things I have watched very closely:

1) When the LOGI excitement of the turn-around was in full swing, the PE was so far ahead of itself, at one point the PE was well over 50. That's crazy scary and can only be assigned to a growth company.

2) The LOGI turn-around is firmly in place going on two years already, and continues to be implemented.

3) The LOGI share price is more than $2 below it's 3 year high reached earlier this year in February.

4) The chart below only goes back 5 quarters. What's compelling are the consistent earnings beats.

EARNINGS SURPRISES

http://investing.money.msn.com/investments/earnings-estimates?symbol=LOGI

DESCRIPTION (6/13) (9/13) (12/13) (3/14) (6/14)


Estimate- 0.11 0.05 0.14 -0.01 0.06

Actual 0.02 0.17 0.32 0.10 0.19

Change +118.18% +240.00% +128.57% +1,100.00% +216.67%


With the PE valuation coming in-line, any EPS beats are going to finally start to drive the share price up again. LOGI's fundamentals have finally caught up with the share price.

Why Logitech (LOGI) Stock Might be a Great Pick

August 20, 2014
by Zacks Equity Research
Published on August 20, 2014

One stock that might be an intriguing choice for investors right now is Logitech International SA (LOGI - Analyst Report). This is because this security in the peripheral equipments space is seeing solid earnings estimate revision activity, and is in great company from a Zacks Industry Rank perspective.

This is important because, often times, a rising tide will lift all boats in an industry, as there can be broad trends taking place in a segment that are boosting securities across the board. This is arguably taking place in the peripheral equipments space as it currently has a Zacks Industry Rank of 17 out of more than 250 industries, suggesting it is well-positioned from this perspective, especially when compared to other segments out there.

Meanwhile, Logitech is actually looking pretty good on its own too. The firm has seen solid earnings estimate revision activity over the past month, suggesting analysts are becoming a bit more bullish on the firm’s prospects in both the short and long term.

In fact, over the past month, current quarter estimates have risen from 16 cents a share to 17 cents a share, while current year estimates have risen from 66 cents a share to 71 cents a share. This has helped LOGI to earn a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), further underscoring the company’s solid position.

So, if you are looking for a decent pick in a strong industry, consider Logitech. Not only is its industry currently in the top third, but it is seeing solid estimate revisions as of late, suggesting it could be a very interesting choice for investors seeking a name in this great industry segment.

Logitech: This Peripheral Company Is Poised For Growth
August 05, 2014

LOGI was getting way ahead of itself price wise earlier this year, so the PPS pull back was justified. Now that their execution caught up to the price, I agree that LOGI is finally going to start rising based on strong underlying fundamentals.

LOGI trades with the market, so down days drag it down. It's given back more than half it's gain after another terrific earnings report two weeks ago. I'm just waiting to see how the correction is shaking out and then I am going to add to my position.

Disclosure: I am long LOGI and bought several times during the spring and summer of 2013 in the mid $6's and low $7's.

Logitech (LOGI) concluded fiscal 2014 in a solid fashion, delivering better than expected results. It seems that its three-year turnaround strategy is on a roll. Logitech was pleased with sales of its products, which were well-accepted by customers, enabling the company to achieve its goals that it set at the beginning of the fiscal year. On the back of its strong momentum, the company expects its sales and profitability to improve in the future.

Strong opportunities ahead

Logitech is seeing exciting growth opportunities in PC gaming, while the growing acceptance of tablets, mobile speakers and other accessories are some more tailwinds. Logitech is also well-positioned to expand its footprint beyond its traditional PC peripheral business. Moreover, it is also keeping a check over its expenses. It expects its cost cutting initiatives to be a key earnings growth driver in this new fiscal year as well.

Logitech’s moves are more dedicated toward profitability, and the company is now focusing on innovation to deliver better products. In this regard, the company’s moves to hire a chief design officer should lead to long-term improvements. The company has seen good progress in customers' purchase satisfaction levels for its products, which is justified by 121 design awards that it won recently.

Cost-cutting moves

Logitech is looking to continue its cost-cutting moves to improve its top line and profitability. Besides these initiatives, Logitech is also working on strengthening its savings strategy. Recently, Logitech also booked a $5 million restructuring charge as a part of its infrastructure savings, but it believes that these short-term pains will lead to long-term improvements.

It has consolidated its Silicon Valley campus from two to one. With this consolidation, Logitech is moving into an open space environment to improve collaboration. The company appears to be in good shape, and with such commendable moves, it can become a faster and more profitable company in the near future.

The way forward

Logitech's business model can deliver consistent cash flow on an annual basis. The company is well positioned for robust performance in fiscal 2015. It is expecting much traction in the PC gaming segment, driven by the launch of its newest gaming peripheral, the G502 Proteus Core tunable mouse. This product is already in good demand in the market. The company believes that there is solid potential for it to drive share gains in fiscal 2015. Further, Logitech has said that it will launch new, innovative gaming products in the coming months.

Moving on to the tablet segment, Logitech is seeing positive trends and expects that sales of tablets will increase in the coming days. So it is working on positioning its tablet keyboard to capture the market. The low price on the keyboards will also be an added advantage for the company. Logitech recently announced three new protected cases for the iPad, and more product introductions can be expected from throughout the fiscal year.

In the mobile speaker segment, Logitech sees strong demand for its new speaker, the UE BOOM. The company was not sure about the acceptance of this speaker, but it has outpaced expectations and has become a key reason for tripling speaker sales in the last year.

Conclusion

Logitech is seeing positive trends throughout the business. In addition, the company is laser-focused on cost-cutting and innovations. As such, investors should definitely consider investing in Logitech for the long run.

Logitech's Move into the Mobile Market Pays Off

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Logitech (LOGI_) has seen a stunning increase in the value of the stock through the second half of 2013 along with consecutive positive earnings surprises. Why is the stock doing so well?

It has had four straight quarters of earnings surprises where it beat analyst expectations. Something good has been happening just recently. Its last report in January saw the company beat analyst expectations in earnings, revenue and margins, a rarity for companies to do. Its shares are up 18% for the year to date as of its Thursday close of $16.16 compared with the Standard & Poor's 500, up 0.3% for the same period. Shares currently trade around $16.

Let's look at the company's performance over the last four quarters.

It appears Logitech is in a "turnaround" journey after years of mediocre performance. I believe the 2014 fiscal year supports the turnaround, at least the numbers do. It is planning its growth in the mobile market.

Why It has Suddenly Done Well

The company has been in a restructuring mode since 2012. There have been a number of steps the company has taken to move back into profitability and this includes:

?Reinvigorate the product portfolio
?Eliminated layers of business and sales management that wasn't needed
?Brand and portfolio management will also be reorganized
?Other functions are also been streamlined

Restructuring is expected to save the company $80 million in annual operating costs.

The company expected to benefit in three different ways as fiscal 2013 unfolded:

?A stronger product portfolio
?Simplifying organization processes
?Cost savings from restructuring

These things were to lead to better financial performance through 2013.

According to its investor presentations, we can see how in the last five quarters, the company's expectation of a better financial performance has really panned out. It has substantially beat analyst earnings estimates.

?December 2012: (Est. 0.34) (Act. 0.10) -70.59%
?March 2013: (Est. -0.12) (Act. -0.09 ) +25%
?June 2013: (Est. -0.11) (Act. 0.02) + 118.18%
?September 2013: (Est.0.05) (Act. 0.17) +240%
?December 2013: (Est. 0.14) (Act.0.32) +128.57%

This is one of the reasons the company has grown so much since July 2013.

Product Development Is the Key

The company's recent success may be attributed to the new product line for better enhanced customer satisfaction with the new Apple (AAPL_) iPad keyboard.

LOGI's new wired keyboard for the iPad will solve many problems that teachers face in schools. iPads have become more popular as they are being purchased by schools but they have also had to attempt to put together multiple wireless Bluetooth keyboards. Logitech's plug-in keyboard has full size keys, is durable as well as spill-resistant. It came out last year and recorded sizable sales.

It is in the mobile market that the company continues to focus its new products, slowly moving away from the desktop like other companies.

It intends to focus on penetrating the mobile market with accessories. Its "Keyboard Folio" and "Keyboard Folio Mini" are tablet and gaming accessories that are expected to create revenue long-term. In 4Q 2013, tablet accessories represented increased sales by 332% over the previous year with a total of $30.8 million.

With this in mind, it looks like the company is going to continue to perform well in the wireless industry. Its recent track record over the last year certainly backs up the quality of its products and shows that consumers are very interested. One cannot argue with numbers.

This company's productivity is doing well since it moved in the mobile market.

If you are interested in investing in Logitech, I would look to enter upon a dip. It has recently climbed at a 60% grade and I don't believe can keep up this level of growth. Usually, the steeper the grade; the steeper the correction.

My buys were between $6 - $7.35

I feel greedy not taking anything off the table, but I don't see LOGI slowing down. They are firing on all cylinders.

Sales continue in the PC arena, and the high profit new stuff is just kicking in.

LOGI is growing Free Cash too. More institutions might sit up and take notice if LOGI establishs a more regular and sustainable dividend.

LOGI is being creative and innovative. It's almost like a "text-book" case study that's going to be taught in Business Schools in the near future.

I see the next presentation as laying out more great stuff to come. If the next financials afterwards are another big step forward, I see LOGI moving up and through the $20's in 2014.

Absolutely agree! Management knows where it's going and how to keep Logitech relevant. Those who were lucky enough to find this gem and read up on it bought the stock and saw it double and we're still only scratching the surface.

There's still lots of room for growth once Logitech has all of its product ranges aligned and distribution channels optimized. Best part of this story is that Logitech is prioritizing design and innovation in their latest products and people seem to notice!
Presentation should paint a bright future & the company firing on all cylinders.

This is a fantastic reinvention of an existing product and transforming it into a must have new one, ala Apple adding colors to their i-phones. It gives someone a new reason to buy a new mouse just for the heck of it. My suggestion to LOGI would be to make them for sports teams too.

Logitech Global Fan Collection M317 wireless mice debut clad in national flags

http://www.slashgear.com/logitech-global-fan-collection-m317-wireless-mice-debut-clad-in-national-flags-07316096/

Logitech has been making mice and other computer peripherals for a very long time. The company makes some of the most popular mice out there and it is back with a new series of wireless mice. The new series is called The Global Fan Collection and all are designed to support national and team pride.

Logitech doesn't really say what sort of fans the mice are designed to woo, it really doesn't matter if your sport is soccer, football, or the Olympics, everyone takes pride in their national flag. The mouse used for the collection is the Logitech Wireless Mouse M317.

There are 13 different flag designs that you can get on the mouse. Logitech does say that they may not all be available in all regions. The flags available include the US, Argentina, UK, Brazil, France, Italy, Nederland, Spain, Russia, Mexico, Switzerland, Portugal, and Germany. Each of the flag bearing mice is $29.99.

The wireless mouse includes a very small Logitech Unifying Receiver that you can plug in your USB port and leave. The wireless range is up to 25 meters. Logitech also claims that the mouse can go a full year on a single AA battery. The sensitivity of the mouse is unknown.

I am beginning to believe management has a firm grip on what they have to do and won't disappoint at this presentation. The share price will have a post presentation bump up.

LOGI continues to go straight up. The easy money has been made.

With the execution of their turn-around plan going great, the proof is in the numbers and they have plenty of room to grow.

I see reviews of their products from all over the world and they are always good or better.

Go LOGI
