Logitech Rallies On Q4 Results Driven By Work-From-Home Shift

Logitech International LOGI shares were trading higher Tuesday after the company reported positive fourth-quarter results after the close Monday that were "accelerated" by the stay-at-home shift during the coronavirus pandemic. 

The company reported fourth-quarter GAAP earnings of $2.66 cents per share, a 75% increase over earnings of $1.52 cents per share in the same period last year.

Logitech said its full-year sales were the highest ever at $2.98 billion, up 7%, and yearly GAAP operating income grew 5% to $276 million, compared to $263 million in 2019. 

The company said cash flow from operations in fiscal 2020 was a record $425 million, compared to $305 million a year ago.
