SAN FRANCISCO—Storage and networking chip vendor LSI Corp. Wednesday (Jan. 25) delivered fourth quarter sales and first quarter guidance that exceeded analysts' expectations.

The company reported a $1.8 million loss for the quarter, compared to a net income of $29.3 million in the previous quarter and a net loss of $13.4 million in the year-ago quarter.
LSI's fourth quarter sales came in above consensus analysts' expectations, which called for sales of $526.5 million, according to Yahoo Finance.
For the full year, LSI reported sales of $2 billion, up 7 percent from 2010. The company's net income for the year totaled $331.5 million, compared to a net income of $40 million in 2010.

Great, we need quite a few more good news like these to shore up the beaten down sentiment. Last I heard about LSI, it was not going healthy for a while and the engineers were feeling uncertain.
