F5 Networks stock (NASDAQ: FFIV) is up 11% in just one month (21 trading days), completely outperforming the S&P 500 which was up around 7%. If you look at the change over the last five and ten days, the stock has returned 3.7% and 7.1%, respectively, thus having outperformed the market on both occasions. FFIV reported strong full-year 2021 earnings at the end of October, with revenue jumping to $2.6 billion from $2.35 billion in FY ’20, driven exclusively by a $225 million rise in product revenue. However, with COGS and other operating expenses rising faster than revenue, operating income rose marginally to $394 million, but a drop in the effective tax rate, led to EPS rising from $5.05 in FY ’20 to $5.46 in FY ’21. These strong numbers helped drive a 11% rise in FFIV stock over the past month.
