This summary was created by AI, based on 18 opinions in the last 12 months.

Cisco (CSCO-Q) has garnered attention as a notable player in the tech sector, especially benefiting from increased demand for data center solutions and AI-enhanced services. Recent earnings surpassed expectations, with analysts projecting continued revenue growth, although there are concerns regarding high market expectations and competition. The stock is up significantly this year, suggesting strong market sentiment; however, technical analysis reveals a potential need for a pullback. Experts highlight Cisco’s historical ability to allocate capital effectively through dividends and stock buybacks, which bolsters its profile as a stable investment as it navigates a competitive landscape. While some analysts express caution regarding its growth potential compared to peers like Arista Networks, many believe Cisco's entrenched position in IT infrastructure and cybersecurity could sustain its upward trajectory.

DON'T BUY
There are more interesting, faster growing companies available.
COMMENT
He is considering Buying this stock. Reported good earnings, but warned on a poorer outlook because of government contracts. Waiting to see what kind of results Juniper (JNPR-N) comes out with as a comparison. Reasonable Buy for a long-term investor but won’t run away on you.
TOP PICK
There has been out-performance by small and mid-cap stocks and large-caps are trading at a discount. This one has had 2 disappointing quarters yet the numbers continue to be attractive in terms of growth rate. Trading at well below market multiple. Still has earnings growth. Well managed.
BUY
Not the dominant company they were and the router business is going through some changes and some slowdown but they’re still well positioned in the industry. There’s a pickup in corporate sales and still getting some carrier sales. Migrating fairly well into the wireless router business. He’s recently added to his holdings.
BUY
Earnings report a couple of months ago was quite a negative surprise to the investment community so he took this opportunity to accumulate more. Net of cash, forward earnings form a multiple of 10 times. The company has intentions to be more full service enterprise wide.
TOP PICK
Cheap valuation. $30 billion on the books. Grow a little slower but it is a premium company. Well run. Global growth. Expecting it to turn into a dividend play in the next 6-9 months.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick March 4/10. Down 1499%.) Businesses they compete with are growing strongly. Start-up companies are growing incrementally, which hurts their growth rate. Also finding some difficulty with government contracts. Monitoring his holdings pretty closely because of his concerns.
COMMENT
Will be announcing earnings on Feb 9th.and if the numbers are not good, he may trade it out of his portfolio. Has been a disappointment for him. Very disappointing guidance in the last quarter.
HOLD
On the rebound. Starting to Grow again. A reasonable hold here. He thinks this quarter wont be that disappointing again. Cloud computing will put a damper on CSCO.
TOP PICK
Model price of $28.62, a 40% positive differential. A quality name. Announced they will be paying a dividend.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 15/10. Down 16.31%.)
WEAK BUY
Had some setbacks because business was not growing as fast.
COMMENT
Starting to look at this one. Premier company in technology selling at bargain rates. Leaning towards possibly buying but hasn’t decided whether it’s a forecast of things to come or a cheap stock.
STRONG BUY
Fell about 7%-8% on its numbers, mainly because of their guidance going forward. Expecting good growth in technology over the next several years. Made some very strong acquisitions. Screaming Buy at these levels.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 13/10. Down 20.7%.) Disappointing earnings release. Long term revenue expected to grow 12%-17% but 2011 will be lower, 9% to 12%. Still likes.
