Cisco Gives Lukewarm Outlook, With Investors Craving AI Boost
Cisco Systems Inc., the largest maker of machines that run computer networks and the internet, gave a lukewarm forecast for the current fiscal year, disappointing investors who hoped for a boost from massive AI data center projects.
Sales will be between $59 billion and $60 billion in the fiscal year that runs through July 2026, the company said in a statement Wednesday. At the midpoint, that's roughly in line with the average Wall Street estimate of $59.5 billion, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Some analysts, though, we're looking for more than $61 billion.
