Cisco Stock Is Up 42% in a Year, How Much Higher Can CSCO Go?

Cisco Stock Is Up 42% in a Year, How Much Higher Can CSCO Go?

Yahoo5 days ago

Cisco (CSCO) has been on an impressive run over the past year, with its stock soaring 42.5% and reaching a fresh 52-week high on Tuesday, June 24. Moreover, the strength across the company's key performance metrics suggests that CSCO stock has further room to run.
Cisco reported solid momentum in future revenue growth drivers during its latest quarterly earnings report (Q3). The company's annualized recurring revenue (ARR), subscription-based income, and remaining performance obligations (RPO) showed healthy growth. Cisco's total ARR stood at $30.6 billion at the end of the quarter, an increase of 5%, with product ARR growth of 8%. Meanwhile, total subscription revenue grew 15% to $7.9 billion and represented 56% of Cisco's total revenue. Total RPO was $41.7 billion, up 7%. The strength in these key performance metrics suggests solid growth ahead, which will support its share price.

Moreover, a significant catalyst behind Cisco's recent strength is the growing opportunity in the artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure market. The company has already secured more than $1 billion in AI-related infrastructure orders so far this fiscal year, surpassing its 2025 goal by a full quarter. Notably, in the third quarter alone, it booked over $600 million in orders from large-scale web customers, reflecting the robust demand for its AI-capable hardware and networking solutions.
While Cisco is well-positioned to capitalize on the AI-driven opportunities, analysts' average price target of $71.94 for CSCO stock indicates limited upside potential. Nonetheless, the highest analyst price target for CSCO stock is $79, suggesting potential upside of over 17% from its recent closing price of $67.38 on June 23.
Cisco's momentum is driven by strong demand for its products across its portfolio. Networking product orders saw double-digit growth in the latest quarter, driven by strength in enterprise routing, switching, and industrial IoT offerings. Campus switching orders also rose by high single digits year-over-year, even against a challenging comparison from last year. Additionally, Cisco experienced a triple-digit sequential increase in orders for its Wi-Fi 7 products, underscoring interest in its latest wireless networking technologies.
Cisco's Industrial IoT offerings, including ruggedized Catalyst products, posted a 35% year-to-date increase in orders. As industries and governments invest in domestic infrastructure projects, Cisco is well-positioned to benefit by delivering scalable, secure connectivity solutions.
The data center space is another bright spot, with switching orders up double-digits compared to the same period last year. Cisco's broad portfolio of switching products, enhanced with built-in security features, is proving attractive as enterprises revamp their data centers to handle the demands of cloud, AI, and edge computing.
AI remains a key growth catalyst. Cisco continues to build momentum with enterprise customers seeking scalable and secure AI deployment solutions. Its strategic partnership with Nvidia (NVDA) further strengthens its ability to deliver end-to-end AI infrastructure. Moreover, the sovereign AI cloud market, driven by governments and large enterprises seeking localized AI compute resources, is also expected to ramp up, and Cisco is well-positioned to be a key systems provider in this emerging space.
Security is another area where Cisco is seeing gains, bolstered by its acquisition of Splunk. A landmark deal with a significant financial institution marked the largest in Splunk's history. Further, new security offerings like Secure Access, XDR, and Hypershield are gaining momentum, adding over 370 new customers in the quarter.
Cisco's decent run over the past year reflects the company's continued shift toward recurring revenue, solid growth in subscription-based services, and robust order activity across AI infrastructure and security products.
While analysts have a 'Moderate Buy' consensus rating on CSCO stock and their average price target suggests a modest upside, Cisco's expanding role in AI, industrial IoT, and cybersecurity indicates the potential for continued gains.

This Top Warren Buffett Holding Could Outperform the S&P 500 in the Second Half of 2025, According to Certain Wall Street Analysts

Warren Buffett has consistently sold more stocks than he bought over the last 30 months. The biggest challenge is that many of the biggest companies in the market have high valuations and low expected returns. This investment is low-risk and offers good value right now. 10 stocks we like better than S&P 500 Index › Warren Buffett is widely regarded as one of the greatest investors of all time. He has a public track record of over 70 years to back that up, generating massive market-trouncing returns over that time. His company, Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A) (NYSE: BRK.B) has continued to outperform the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) in 2025. That's despite the fact that Buffett's retirement announcement in May has somewhat deflated the premium investors are willing to pay for shares. That speaks to the strength of Buffett's portfolio of investments, including owned and operated businesses, marketable equities, private issues, and bonds. While Buffett expects everything his company buys to outperform over the long run (why else would he buy it?), one of Berkshire's biggest holdings looks particularly well-positioned to do so in the near term. That's backed up by analysis from Morgan Stanley's team of market analysts led by Lisa Shalett. Here's the Buffett investment that could outperform over the rest of the year. It's worth pointing out that Buffett has had a hard time identifying great opportunities in the stock market recently. Not only that, but he's consistently sold many of Berkshire's biggest marketable equity holdings, including Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Bank of America (NYSE: BAC), and Citigroup (NYSE: C). That said, Buffett hasn't said that he sees significant challenges developing at any of those companies. Apple notably remains Berkshire's largest marketable equity holding, accounting for about 21% of the portfolio. Bank of America remains third in line with more than 10% of the $283 billion portfolio invested in the bank stock. Buffett did cut Citi entirely, though. The challenge for Buffett in holding those stocks appears to be a matter of valuation. Apple's price-to-earnings ratio when Buffett made Berkshire's initial investment in the stock was between 10 and 11.3. Today, it trades for 31 times trailing earnings, and it consistently traded higher throughout the second half of last year. When it comes to bank stocks, Buffett has mentioned that the new accounting rules requiring banks to mark assets to market make it difficult to assess the financial reality of their balance sheets. As a result, he's less comfortable holding companies like Citi, and he's slowly selling off harder-to-value financial stocks. It's not just those three that Buffett's been selling. In fact, Berkshire's been a net seller of stocks for 10 straight quarters. Total sales during that period add up to more than $174 billion in excess of Berkshire's stock purchases. While some of that cash went toward paying a record corporate tax bill last year, the vast majority has gone into a single investment vehicle: short-term U.S. Treasury bills. Berkshire Hathaway held over $314 billion of U.S. Treasury bills as of the end of the first quarter. Morgan Stanley analysts think that's a smart place to stash cash in the current financial market environment. In fact, they think there's a good chance T-bills outperform the S&P 500 through the end of the year. One of the biggest reasons analysts think government bonds offer a better investment than the S&P 500 right now is that the premium investors get for taking on the risk of equities is extremely low. Shalett and her team say the equity-risk premium sits near a 20-year low. With the earnings yield (the inverse of the price-to-earnings ratio) on the S&P 500 sitting around 4.7%, that's not a lot higher than the 4.3% investors can receive on 10-year Treasuries. One-month to six-month yields also range between 4.1% and 4.3% as of June 25. Meanwhile, there seems to be a lot of risk involved with buying equities right now, considering the ongoing conflicts in the Middle East and unpredictable U.S. trade policies. Further supporting the short-term value of Treasury bills are proposed regulatory changes, says Shalett. The Federal Reserve proposed adjusting the supplementary leverage ratio for banks. If banks can take on more Treasury bills on their balance sheets, it should support a higher debt ceiling without a rise in interest rates (thus supporting the value of current bond issues). Additionally, the Genius Act supports the creation and issuance of stablecoins, which are typically backed by U.S. Treasuries, adding more bidders to the auction. But it's important for investors to keep in mind that these are short-term factors. The equity risk premium is unlikely to stay this low for very long, especially if the above factors and the Fed's plans to eventually lower the Fed Funds Rate push yields lower over time. Despite the fact that Buffett has more money in Treasuries than marketable equities right now, he'd still prefer Berkshire's money to go into stocks. "Berkshire shareholders can rest assured that we will forever deploy a substantial majority of their money in equities," Buffett wrote in his 2024 letter to shareholders. The challenge for investors is finding good value in the current market. That's an even bigger challenge for Buffett, who's not very interested in opportunities where he can only invest a few billion dollars. The good news for smaller investors is that small- and mid-cap stocks trade at much more attractive valuations than large-cap stocks. So, while the large-cap S&P 500 index doesn't look that attractive right now, there are plenty of opportunities among smaller companies.

Inside the fallout at Paul, Weiss after the firm's deal with Trump

Three months ago, Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison was under attack. The global law firm had just become the target of an executive order signed by President Donald Trump directing the firm and its clients to be cut off from government contracts, and for firm lawyers to lose their security clearances and be restricted from entering government buildings or dealing with federal employees. Paul, Weiss wasn't the first firm to be the focus of such an executive order, but it would go on to be the first to negotiate a deal with the White House in order to get it lifted. At the time, the firm's leader Brad Karp said he was trying to save his team from an 'existential crisis.' Since then, the firm has endured. But the decision to strike a deal has led to high-profile departures among partners and drawn condemnation from Democrats and others in the legal community. After Karp made a deal with Trump, at least 10 partners in the litigation department have resigned from the firm, including several with close ties to Democrats. A group of the departing partners have joined together to start their own firm where they will continue to represent tech giants like Meta and Google, and another has jumped ship to one of the four firms that chose to fight the administration in court. While the firms that have fought Trump have been vindicated in multiple swift rulings, Paul, Weiss has been dealing with fallout in the aftermath of the deal, according to three former attorneys and five others with knowledge of the firm granted anonymity to speak candidly about internal dynamics. 'They made a calculated decision,' said Elizabeth Grossman, executive director of government watchdog group Common Cause Illinois and a former Paul, Weiss associate who helped organize alumni opposition to the deal. 'They were thinking about their bottom line… I think what we've seen is that they made the wrong decision.' Founded 150 years ago in New York, Paul, Weiss is now one of the largest and most profitable firms in the world, with more than 1,000 lawyers in offices across North America, Europe and Asia and an annual revenue of $2.6 billion. The firm touts its pro-bono work and its lawyers were frequently involved in cases challenging controversial policies during the first Trump administration. The firm's commitment to 'not adopt, use or pursue any DEI policies' and provide the equivalent of $40 million in free legal work to 'support the administration's initiatives' would become the framework used by eight other law firms to strike similar deals committing a total of nearly $1 billion in pro bono work to causes favored by the president. Being the first firm to fold meant Paul, Weiss secured a better deal than those who came later, but it also turned the firm into a lightning rod for anger at Big Law's failure to stand up to Trump. Karp and a spokesperson for Paul, Weiss declined to comment. The first major personnel blow for Paul, Weiss came at the end of May, when co-chair of the litigation department, Karen Dunn, announced that she and three of her colleagues would be leaving to start a new litigation boutique firm. Dunn has had close ties to Democrats for years and previously worked as an associate White House counsel under former President Barack Obama. She also helped former Vice President Kamala Harris prepare for her 2024 general election debate with Trump. Leaving with Dunn was Jeannie Rhee, who previously represented former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in a lawsuit dealing with her use of a private email server and worked under special counsel Robert Mueller during his investigation into allegations of Russian interference in the 2016 election. During the week between Trump's order targeting Paul, Weiss and the announcement of the deal, the firm's management committee, including Dunn and Rhee, prepared to challenge the order in court, according to three of the people with knowledge of the firm. The group, led by chair of the firm's Supreme Court practice, Kannon Shanmugam, worked on a motion asking a judge to immediately halt enforcement of the order while litigation played out, but the effort was tabled in favor of making a deal, one of the people said. A second one said that in her capacity as a member of the management committee, Dunn was involved in the conversations about making a deal with the White House. That person said Karp consulted the firm's partnership in deciding whether to make a deal, and the 'vast majority' of the more than 200 partners were in favor of it at the time. Dunn began telling lawyers inside and outside the firm of her plans to leave in the days and weeks following the deal, according to one of the people. Dunn and Rhee declined to comment. Shanmugam did not respond to a request for comment. In recent weeks, five additional partners and at least eight associates, the majority of whom worked with Dunn at her previous firm and moved to Paul, Weiss around the same time as she did, have left Paul, Weiss to join Dunn and her colleagues at the fledgling firm Dunn Isaacson Rhee. Dunn and her partners have filed notices in multiple ongoing cases indicating they will continue representing big tech clients they were already representing at Paul, Weiss. 'Paul, Weiss used to be the gold standard for litigation,' said Bryson Malcolm, founder of legal recruiting firm Mosaic Search Partners. 'I think that reputation is waning.' Earlier this month, Paul, Weiss lost another recognizable name when the former chief federal prosecutor in Manhattan, Damian Williams, decamped to Jenner & Block, a much smaller firm by annual revenue. That firm had also been targeted by an executive order but successfully fought the administration in court instead of making a deal — something Williams seemed to allude to in the announcement of his move. 'I've seen firsthand how this firm expertly tackles the toughest cases and lives its values,' Williams said in a press release. 'I'm excited to join a team with an extraordinary depth of legal talent that doesn't shy away from hard fights — and delivers results that matter.' Williams declined to comment. Paul, Weiss has also lost one of its two former Obama Cabinet secretaries to retirement since the deal. Former Department of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson retired last month to take a position as co-chair of Columbia University's board of trustees. Meanwhile, former Attorney General Loretta Lynch remains at the firm. Johnson and Lynch did not respond to requests for comment. Trump's stated reasons for initially targeting the firm were the hiring of Mark Pomerantz, a former prosecutor for the Manhattan district attorney's office who previously investigated Trump's hush money payments to Stormy Daniels, Rhee's work on a civil lawsuit against individuals involved with the Jan. 6, 2021 riot at the U.S. Capitol, and an allegation that the firm was engaging in racially discriminatory hiring practices. (In a firm-wide email following the deal, Karp wrote, 'While retaining our longstanding commitment to diversity in all of its forms, we agreed that we would follow the law with respect to our employment practices.') The threat of future investigation hangs over all the firms that struck deals. Sixteen House Democrats sent letters to Paul, Weiss and the eight other deal-making firms in April, seeking details of the agreements and suggesting that they may violate state and federal criminal laws against bribery. 'We would never do anything to compromise our ability to advocate zealously on behalf of our clients, and we certainly reject any suggestion that any element of the agreement is contrary to law,' Karp wrote in a response letter obtained by POLITICO. Meanwhile, all the firms that have fought Trump's orders have so far won in court. Four federal judges have struck down Trump's executive orders aimed at firms Perkins Coie, WilmerHale, Jenner & Block and Susman Godfrey as unconstitutional. The Justice Department has not taken steps to appeal those rulings and the window of time for them to do so will soon close. Despite those legal victories, some observers caution that it may be too soon to tell if the threat to firms that fought back has truly passed. Trump's orders are no longer in effect, but federal agencies can still come up with alternative reasons to steer contracts away from disfavored firms and their clients. And companies seeking government approval for mergers may prefer to use Paul, Weiss or another deal-making firm to represent them in that process over one that fought that administration. 'If it's being done without saying that it's being done, it's super hard for courts to police,' said Walter Olson, a senior fellow at the libertarian Cato Institute who studies law and public policy. There may be more departures to come for Paul, Weiss. The nature of profit distribution at large firms gives partners an incentive to stay through the end of the fiscal year and the process of moving firms for partners is more lengthy and complicated than simply finding a new job willing to hire them. 'It's a very financially unattractive time to leave and you need several months to make the move anyway,' said a partner at a separate firm granted anonymity to speak candidly about the industry. And while top talent walks out the door, it may prove harder for Paul, Weiss to attract the next generation of lawyers. 'Students are plugged in in a way that they've never been before and they're tracking all this,' Malcolm said. 'I don't really see a situation where a student would choose Paul, Weiss over any of its peers that didn't have a similar fallout. Even if you're just thinking pragmatically and you're not really tied to the morality of it all, it's just very clear Paul, Weiss is not a safe option compared to the others.' According to numbers obtained by POLITICO, Paul, Weiss' acceptance rates for this year at their major offices including New York and Washington are in line with their typical acceptance rates over the past five years. 'Ultimately we're a talent business,' said the partner at the separate firm. 'It may not be something you feel now, but it could be something you feel three or four years from now.'

The No. 1 Exchange-Traded Fund (ETF) Held on Robinhood Has Soared 632% in 15 Years and Is the Only General Investment Recommended by Warren Buffett

Retail investors are playing an increasingly larger role in the stock market. Although billionaire Warren Buffett doesn't offer stock-specific advice, he has previously encouraged everyday investors to buy one specific investment vehicle, which Robinhood's customers absolutely love. The most widely held exchange-traded fund (ETF) on Robinhood has a clear leg up on other ETFs within its category. 10 stocks we like better than Vanguard S&P 500 ETF › Roughly 30 years ago, the proliferation of the internet began changing Wall Street forever. While institutional investors had relied on internet-based trading for years, the ability for everyday investors to access online trading platforms, as well as find pertinent news and financial information with the click of a button, was revolutionary. Although institutional investing still accounts for the majority of average daily trading volume on Wall Street (primarily due to high-frequency trading programs), retail investors have played an increasingly larger role over time. Based on data from "The Retail Investor Report," compiled by five authors, retail investors accounted for 25% of total equities trading volume in 2021, which nearly doubled from where things stood a decade earlier. Online brokerages have taken note of this trend and done what they can to cater to everyday investors. Robinhood has been among the most successful at signing up the retail crowd, with investors flocking to the company for its commission-free trades and ability to buy fractional shares. But what makes Robinhood's platform especially unique is its "100 Most Popular" tool, which allows anyone to see which stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are held most frequently within customers' portfolios. It just so happens that the most widely held ETF on Robinhood, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (NYSEMKT: VOO) -- which has rallied 632%, including dividends paid, since its inception nearly 15 years ago -- is the only general investment that billionaire Warren Buffett has recommended for everyday investors. The Oracle of Omaha's investing prowess at Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK.A)(NYSE: BRK.B) has been well documented. Since taking the role as CEO 60 years ago, Warren Buffett has overseen a cumulative return in his company's Class A shares (BRK.A) of nearly 5,900,000%, which has absolutely crushed the total return, including dividends, of the benchmark S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC). In addition to mirroring Warren Buffett's buying and selling activity, which can be done by tracking his trades via quarterly filed Form 13Fs, investors aim to emulate his investment traits. This includes buying for the long term and investing in companies with sustainable moats and strong management teams. But if there's one thing Warren Buffett doesn't do, it's offer specific investment advice. While he frequently speaks glowingly about the core stocks Berkshire Hathaway already holds in its investment portfolio, the Oracle of Omaha doesn't tell retail investors what they should be doing with their one exception. On May 2, 2020, shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic broke out and sent Wall Street's major stock indexes plummeting, Berkshire Hathaway held a virtual annual meeting for shareholders. While Buffett tackled an assortment of topics, he also offered up a direct investment recommendation to retail investors: In my view, for most people, the best thing to do is to own the S&P 500 index fund. ... You're dealing with something fundamentally advantageous, in my view, in owning stocks. I will bet on America the rest of my life. Being a long-term investor, Buffett is well aware of the disproportionate nature of economic and stock market cycles -- and he's angled Berkshire Hathaway to take advantage of this nonlinearity. For example, the U.S. economy has endured 12 recessions since the end of World War II in September 1945. The average economic downturn has resolved in just 10 months, with no recession lasting longer than 18 months. In comparison, the average period of economic growth has endured for about five years. Long-winded periods of growth bode well for corporate America. Likewise, bull markets last substantially longer than bear markets. A June 2023 data set published by Bespoke Investment Group on X (formerly Twitter) found the average S&P 500 bear market since the start of the Great Depression lasted 286 calendar days (roughly 9.5 months). Meanwhile, the typical bull market stuck around for 1,011 calendar days, or two years and nine months. Buffett realized a long time ago that being an optimist is a moneymaking decision. Though individual stocks account for the top five holdings on Robinhood, led by electric vehicle maker Tesla, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF is the most held ETF and the sixth-most held security on the platform. While Berkshire Hathaway CEO Warren Buffett didn't single out any specific S&P 500 index funds when suggesting that everyday investors own an S&P 500 index fund, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF tends to be in a class of its own. As of this writing, there are roughly two dozen ETFs to choose from that attempt to mirror the performance of Wall Street's benchmark stock index. In other words, these funds are purchasing all 503 components (three S&P 500 companies have two classes of shares, thus why there are 503 components and not an even 500) and attempting to mirror their weightings to match the S&P 500's performance as closely as possible. The two most popular S&P 500 index funds are the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust (NYSEMKT: SPY), which was the first ETF to be launched in the U.S. (in 1993), and the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF, which launched in September 2010. While both index funds do a fine job of mirroring the returns of the benchmark index, there is one notable difference between the two: their net expense ratios. A fund's net expense ratio represents the amount of your investment that you'll pay in various fees, such as those for managing and marketing the fund, among other expenses. Whereas the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust has a relatively low net expense ratio of 0.09%, the Vanguard S&P 500 ETF has a microscopic net expense ratio of 0.03%. Though we're only talking about a six-basis-point difference, it can add up over multiple decades or be significant if you're dealing with a large initial investment. Hypothetically, if you invested $1,000,000 in the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and S&P 500 Vanguard ETF and allowed your investment to grow undisturbed for 30 years with an estimated average annual return of 8%, you'd pay $248,550 in fees with the SPDR S&P 500 ETF Trust and just $83,519 in fees with the S&P 500 Vanguard ETF. This isn't a negligible difference. Robinhood's retail investors have wisely piled into a time-tested, low-cost ETF that Berkshire Hathaway's billionaire CEO (in a general sense) believes everyday investors can comfortably own over the long run.
