Bulls Say...

Cantor Fitzgerald is among the research firms that weighed in on Cisco’s earnings. The analysts expect the company to report strong results this quarter, “driven by strong execution, despite the weakening in carrier spending in the U.S. and the softening emerging markets,” a recent article said. The firm believes that “strength in the data center, healthy trends in the enterprise/commercial market and strong execution should be able to offset these soft spots.”

For its part, TipRanks anticipates earnings of $0.53 per share and $11.54 billion in revenue: “In the third quarter Cisco faced a few hurdles including troubles in its typically well-performing switching business, inconsistent demand from telecom carriers, and its instability in emerging markets. Despite this, analysts are generally confident on Cisco Systems ability to overcome these headwinds.”
