Logitech (LOGI) shares are rising after the company announced last night that it will take a non-cash, non-tax-deductible goodwill impairment charge in Q3, estimated to be $211M, related to its video conferencing reporting unit. Logitech added that the video conferencing industry has experienced a slowdown in recent quarters and consequently, through this period, the video conferencing reporting unit has not sustained the growth Logitech originally anticipated.

Logitech is up 45c or 6.2% to $7.71 in late morning trade.
