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.

ANET

TOP PICK

Wonderful time for a company like Cisco, the "plumber of the Internet". Stock is trading at very reasonable rate. Cisco is at a sweet spot. Internationally as well as domestically. Only 25% of the households in the US are on broadband, so there is a huge up side.

BUY

Lots of upside and a heck of a balance sheet. With Nortel (NT-T) out of the picture and a lot of other companies that really didn't make it, they're really the last man standing.

TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jan 8/07. Up 14.3%.) A global growth leader. Infrastructure for internet has to change to support the growth in bandwidth. Growing in 7 out of 8 geographical regions. 8 out of 9 of their major product areas are growing at 15%.

BUY

If you had to own 1 technology company, this would be one. It's so insidious the way it is installed on our day-to-day business in terms of the growth of traffic on the Internet. Reasonable multiple at around 22X earnings. Strong balance sheet.

HOLD

Has been a phenomenal company over the last year or so in the networking business.

COMMENT

Will be one of the major beneficiaries of the increased traffic over the Internet. They are the dominant player in this area. 22X earnings is a little on the rich side, so there is definitely a risk here.

BUY

Very optimistic on their prospects. Have upped their guidance for sales growth from 10%-15% to 12%-17% on the long-term. Have a dominant market share with both the carriers and enterprise. Very high profit margins. Extremely well run. A boatload of cash.

TOP PICK

Environment has never been better. 15 out of 20 of their major product groups are growing at over 15%. Have tons of cash. They are the plumbers behind the Internet and are talking about Web 2.0, which, as opposed to 1 to 1, is many, to many. Not expensive.

TOP PICK

This is the 800 pound gorilla in the communications infrastructure business. Consistent management. Will be a leading provider of all the new communications equipment.

TOP PICK

Now has a much lower PE, but still a very good growth stock. The acquisition of Scientific Atlanta last year is really paying off. The adoption of high-definition TV is driving the set-top box phenomena. Have also gone into wireless routers for homes and small business.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Jun 15/06. Up 34%.) Still sees 10%-15% upside, but is finding better bargains elsewhere.

WEAK BUY

Hit a low of about $15 became “deep value”. Had a lot of cash. Probably one of the best technology companies in performance from that point. Still sees upside of about 15% but is no longer deep value, only moderate value.

PAST TOP PICK

(A Top Pick Apr 18/06. No change.) Relative to its competitors, suffered slower growth, but still kept its margins. Made some very astute acquisitions. Feels they will beat expectations.

DON'T BUY

You have to be frightened when you see a big name like this breaking down. It is a bellwether.

BUY

They have done nothing but execute consistently. Tons of cash. Buying back stock.
