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.

WEAK BUY
If you have a longterm view for 3/5 years, a great company. Has maintained it smargins in the downturn. Lots of cash. In a competitive space, not only from Nortel and Lucent, but also from China. Expensive, but a leader in their field.
WEAK BUY
Mixed opinion. Internet drives the growth longer term, however growth is not what it was 5/10 years ago. It has become a more mature company. An FASB ruling is coming regarding expensing of employee stock options> This company will be hit the hardest. Have lots of money and good management.
BUY
A good point to get into this stock. Has suffered because it's so big, it's hard for it to grow. Has a dominant position in routers. Struggling to keep up with the advances being made by Juniper but it will get there. The last few quarters there have been issues with inventory, but now they have got through that and growth should accelerate.
BUY
Could get back into the mid-$20's. Can probably grow their earnings in the 10/12% range. In the area of networking market data communication, they are still very strong. They really own the enterprise market and it is still growing. Strong product line. Generate a ton of cash.
SELL
A great company. Well managed. The problem with the tech industry is that it is highly valued. Probably OK between $13 and $15.
TOP PICK
BUY
A much better company than Lucent. A lot of cash. Very smart managment and great products. China's competition is a threat.
BUY
Announced a decline in sales for the 4th quarter. For a longer term look, would call this a buy. Gaining market share and it's cheaper than it has been any time in its history. Generate substantial amounts of cash. Dominant in their market.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Aug 13/04. Up 10%.) Sold off.
TOP PICK
Top Short Thinks it's going to retest its lows that occurred in '02.
BUY
The world is going to internet protocol because it is a cost savings solution for big traditional suppliers. A great entrance point.
DON'T BUY
Will be challenged as we go forward. If he wanted to go into this sector down the road, would prefer Cisco over others.
TOP PICK
The bellweather of US technology. Sees some rally coming. Buy and hold for a year or two. Cheap. 20% plus growth.
DON'T BUY
They were building inventory in the last sector. They have too much supply, which is a red flag in stockmarket. Demand is still ok.
TOP PICK
If you take the cash of of the balance sheet and expense the options that they have, you are still looking at something like $.82 next year. Return on capital is astounding. No debt.
