Cisco reports their fiscal Q1 '25 financial results after the closing bell on Wednesday, November 13, '24. Analyst consensus expects revenue of $13.77 billion (-6% y-o-y growth), operating income of $4.5 billion (-16% y-o-y growth) and EPS of $0.87 (-22% y-o-y growth). This fiscal Q1 '25 is the last tough “compare” Cisco has against last year's “inventory overhang”, and the forward estimates are looking for better growth from the networking giant. The stock is completely uncorrelated to the S&P 500's bull market over the last 15-17 years, or since the March 9, 2009 generational lows for the S&P 500.
CSCO's first-quarter fiscal 2025 performance is likely to reflect sluggishness in the networking domain, partially offset by growth in the Security business.

JPMorgan upgraded Cisco to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $66, up from $55. The firm sees "further headroom for upside in the medium term" despite the recent rally in the shares. It sees earnings upgrades for Cisco from the recovery cycle in enterprise networking demand, which JPMorgan says is still in the early stages as evidence from recent earnings reports of peer companies. The stock offers "modest room for upside" to the valuation multiple, particularly during a period with ramping demand momentum, the analyst tells investors in a research note. JPMorgan is mindful that Cisco's quarterly results "can be choppy in the early stages of a recovery" and is more focused on the opportunity for medium-term upsides from the evidence of the cyclical recovery in enterprise networking.
