Logitech International SA (LOGI) stock surged 5.27% in pre-market trading on Monday, following news that the Trump administration has exempted some tech products from the so-called reciprocal tariffs. This move has sparked a rally in European tech stocks, with Logitech being one of the significant beneficiaries.
The exemptions for tech-related products have provided a boost to the entire sector. The Stoxx Europe 600 Technology Index opened 2.8% higher in early European trading, reflecting the positive sentiment. Other tech companies also saw significant gains, with Infineon Technologies and STMicroelectronics jumping 3.3% and 4% respectively.
While the news has been met with enthusiasm in the short term, analysts caution about the long-term implications of such policy volatility. Jefferies analyst Charles Brennan notes that while these exemptions will likely provide short-term relief for the sector, "this level of policy volatility isn't helpful for business confidence and ultimately to orderly decision making." The tech industry, including companies like Logitech, may face ongoing challenges in navigating an uncertain trade policy landscape.
