Forward Guidance
For the fourth quarter of 2025, NETGEAR expects net revenue to be between $170 million and $185 million. Operating expenses are projected to slightly decrease due to normalizing facilities costs, partially offset by increased investments in software development and Enterprise go-to-market capabilities. Gross margins are anticipated to face a headwind of approximately 150 basis points due to rising memory costs.
Positive Outlook
- End-user demand for ProAV managed switches in the Enterprise segment is expected to remain strong.
- Improvements in supply position are anticipated, though supply headwinds may still limit full topline potential.
- The broader product portfolio is expected to benefit the Home Networking segment.
- New product introductions in the Mobile segment are expected to expand the addressable market.
- Operating expenses are expected to be slightly reduced due to normalizing facilities costs.
Challenges Ahead
- Supply headwinds may limit the ability to capture the full topline potential of the growing Enterprise business.
- Gross margins are expected to face a headwind of about 150 basis points due to rising memory costs.
