purchased $30.00 calls for April/08. They are not expensive (unless it goes down) I like the stock buy back. I am looking for CSCO to reach a new high, soon. The real reason I purchased is that someone is straddling CSCO - calls at 30.00 and puts at 25.00. I am GUESSING that calls will win. (also posted on Options board) | ||

Cisco's stock price rose more than 4 percent in after-hours trading Tuesday after the company said net income for the second quarter surged nearly 40 percent over last year and management raised the revenue outlook for the next two quarters. The company is profiting mightily from an onslaught of service providers scrambling to upgrade their networks and boost bandwidth to handle video downloads that consume thousands of times the network space as e-mail messages. It is also in a financial sweet spot as its routers and switches -- which direct data traffic over computer networks -- are being snapped up in anticipation for the emergence of Internet Protocol Television, or IPTV -- TV delivered over a broadband connection. | ||

Motley Fool All Systems Go at Cisco Monday November 13, 10:11 am ET By Anders Bylund Networking powerhouse Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO - News) came through with a brilliant quarterly report last Thursday, sending the share price up by 9% overnight. The numbers were great, as sales spiked 25% over the first quarter of last year and EPS jumped even higher with a 30% boost. Even if you backed out the $584 million of sales contributed by high-profile acquisition Scientific-Atlanta, you'd still get a 16% organic revenue growth figure. Not too shabby for a company with $8.1 billion in quarterly sales and a gargantuan $162 billion market cap. http://biz.yahoo.com/fool/061113/116342711401.html | ||

Super - They've been posting middling results and offering tepid outlooks for some time now. I think some people just can't get used to the idea that CSCO is just another old-line industrial company now. So are lots of the other high-tech babies, in particular INTC. However, the Market has been pricing them that way for a while. | ||

Yeah, maybe, but the Wall Street Journal's take on the Cisco report was pretty negative: Cisco reported middling results for the latest quarter and offered a tepid outlook for coming months, raising concerns about the strength of the tech recovery. | ||

According to CBS, you're right: Cisco slumps on Lehman downgrade By Michael Baron, CBS.MarketWatch.com Last Update: 9:36 AM ET Sept. 17, 2004 E-mail it | Print | Alert | Reprint | RSS NEW YORK (CBS.MW) - Shares of Cisco Systems slid early Friday after Lehman Bros. lowered its rating on the San Francisco-based networking equipment giant to "equal-weight" from "overweight" citing mixed industry trends in August and September. The stock (CSCO: news, chart, profile) lost 32 cents, or 1.6 percent, to $19.27, in morning trades. Volume was already more than 7.8 million, second on the Nasdaq exchange. The firm said the downgrade was prompted by a recent round of checks with suppliers and distributors that suggested Cisco is rebalancing inventory. The checks were also characterized by "cautious commentary" that seems to indicate upside to financial estimates for the company "may prove elusive." | ||

CSCO's suppliers have been warning recently, so the thinking is that, if CSCO is cutting back on spending, their business is not doing all that well... | ||
