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.

BUY
Likes the tech sector right now, particularly the big guys. Their branding and global scope are looking better than the rest. Prominent and good in the enterprise space. Makes good acquisitions.
BUY
Has either in its space. Made $.40 last quarter beating estimates of $.30. Above the 50 and 200 day moving averages.

(A Top Pick March 26/09. Up 53.8%.) Still likes. Great balance sheet and lots of cash. Made several good acquisitions during the downturn. Kept its margins up. New router product should be very good.

Has had an unbelievable run. Technology spending follows the economy. There may be another wave of corporate/government tech spending left. Next couple of years bodes well.
TOP PICK
Had a tough time during the recession. 25% growth expected in the next quarter. Enterprise spending is picking up again. Carriers have to spend because of mobile data traffic. Net cash of 25 billion after their acquisitions. Should make some major acquisitions in order to grow.

You are looking for a breakout above the recent high. Would buy it and then double up on a breakout.
PAST TOP PICK
(Top Pick Feb 23/09, Up 69%) Still likes it because it has a wonderful franchise in technology. Superior line of products. Made some astute acquisitions. Even after revenue collapsed, their margins stayed the same. Executes very well. As economy grows, they will continue to do very well. Trading relatively cheap.

Reported some great results last week. For the first time in probably 2 years raised their outlook but the market shrugged off the results and improved guidance. Very reasonably priced. Recent acquisitions will increase earnings this year.
