Juniper shares are down 33 cents, or 2%, at $14.90. VMWare stock is off $1.30, or 1.5%, at $87.93.Cisco's already gotten one cut in price target today, from RBC Capital's Mark Sue. Sue rates Cisco shares Sector Perform, and he cut his price target to $18 from $21, writing that \""the landscape is changing.\""VMware's big $1.2B purchase of potential futuredisrupter, Nicira, may impact Cisco's LT data center growth prospects. VMware and Cisco are quick to point out that nothing is likely to change anytime soon with existing partnerships. While essential building blocks for data centers include servers, storage, security, networking and virtualization tools, we believe that a motivation behind acquiring a company with very little revenues stems from VMware's ambitions to become the dominant control plane of data center assets. Virtualizing more stuff. SDNs and OpenFlow, in particular, promise to offer centralized intelligence enabling customers to automate pools of networkingassets dynamically as business needs change. VMware's ultimate goal may be to transform the traditional switch environment as it did for the server environment. By enabling broader control of data center components, Nicira has been able to gain an expanding list of data center and carrier customers such as AT&T, eBay, NTT, and Rackspace [...] This push may create a value shift (real or perceived) away from Cisco's routers and switches. We don't disagree that networking gear may always be needed; we are unsure where value and margins may ultimately reside as the control layer moves from one element to another."", ""VMware\u2019s big shot at Cisco Analysis: It\u2019s the virtualization software, stupid In acquiring Nicira for $1.26 billion, virtualization leader looks to force networking giant to play on its terms, writes Rex Crum."", ""Stocks sink; Dow has third triple-digit loss day SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- U.S. stocks Tuesday sank on concerns about Greece debt, sending the Dow Jones Industrial Average to its third straight triple-digit loss.

Public Cloud Following a fiscal Q3 report this afternoon by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) of revenue that missed analysts' expectations, but profit that beat on the bottom line, CEO Meg Whitman, CFO Tim Stonsifer, and COO Christopher Hsu were kind enough to take some time to talk with me by phone about the results.The shares have continued recouped some earlier losses during the conference call with analysts, now down 19 cents, or 0.9%, at $21.90.To me, the most interesting part of our conversation was what Whitman had to say about cloud computing.I asked Whitman if she was concerned by what many people believe is a general march of computing cycles away from on-premise data centers and into the ""hyperscale"" facilities of Amazon's (AMZN) Amazon Web Services and Microsoft's (MSFT) Azure. Said Whitman,We see the trends really clearly. You have to approach this by workload or by application. Which ones really are likely to move to public cloud, which are likely to stay locked down in [enterprise] data centers, and which are likely to end up in on-prem private clouds? We have to make sure the on-prem private cloud is cost competitive. We need to gain share in those traditional data centers. And we need to provide control and security that rivals the public cloud. You're starting to see some changes. We just helped Dropbox move their storage off AWS into their own data center. I was with a big money center bank here today. They are moving to on-prem, private cloud. They get the control and the flexibility they want, and it is just as cost-effective. There is no question there is a real movement towards AWS, and to some degree Azure. And where people want public cloud, our partner is Azure, and we will help customers move the applications they want to move there.I asked Whitman what the overall most important items are that one should take away from the report.Said Whitman,Let me level set things. All the way back to November 1st of 2015, when we announced the separation [from HP Inc. (HPQ), we said that we wanted to be the leading provider of hybrid IT for both the traditional data center, and the software-defined data center, and that we wanted to own compute and storage at the edge, and to own analytics at the edge.

His company, Affirmed Networks, based in Acton, Massachusetts, has raised $163 million in venture funding since its inception in 2010, from Charles River Ventures, Bessemer Venture Partners, Lightspeed Venture Partners, Matrix Partners, T-Venture, and Vodafone Ventures.Previously, Hassan built up Sonus Networks (SONS), and he sees Affirmed as doing for the telco network a bit of what Sonus did with voice-over-IP to change the nature of circuit-switched calling.""The incumbents, including Ericsson (ERIC), and Nokia and Alcatel and Huawei, and the router folks such as Cisco, are all defending their turf,” says""They are trying to bring over their software from their legacy products, and everybody starts off participating, and then at some point, it comes down to us,” he boasts."

Many went on to be outright flops, or merely footnotes.Not all are failures per se, but most things that were big in the moment didn\u2019t turn out exactly as hoped by their creators and by investors.A brief sample of the last decade:2016\u2019s show was definitely the year of virtual reality, as Facebook\u2019s (FB) Oculus unit hosted long lines to try out its controller before it was commercially available. Orders went live for the \u201cRift\u201d during the week of the show. HTC (2498TW) was also talking up its \u201cVive\u201d headset. One analyst spoke of CES showing an \u201cinflection point\u201d for VR broadly speaking. There were even novel add-ons like the VR \u201ctreadmill\u201d from Virtuix.This year has seen little traction for VR. The best-performing headset vendor, Sony (SNE), with its \u201cPSVR,\u201d may sell 800,000 units this year, according to a recent report research firm Canalys. HTC may sell half a million. And Facebook, whose Oculus sales had been pegged by analysts as being perhaps half a million to two million this year, may end up selling only 400,000, according to Canalys. Any way you slice it, it seems the continued immaturity of VR (it\u2019s expensive, it\u2019s cumbersome, it makes you look foolish wearing it, etc.) have failed to pay off on the promise of the CES buzz.

The generic networking equipment would be based on open-source software and sourced from \""white box\"" manufacturers, which would likely make the product much cheaper than offerings from the larger networking companies. Facebook Inc. has put out its own networking designs that utilize white-box switches, and the equipment is widely available directly from the manufacturers, but that has not stopped Cisco from dominating the industry while Arista offers high-performance gear and Juniper aims for telecoms and other specialty areas. All three networking companies were specifically mentioned in The Information's report. Cisco stock fell more than 5% after previously trading at a gain on the day, while Arista fell more than 5% and Juniper declined more than 3%. Amazon, which has hurt the retail sector with its ecommerce dominance and previously spooked the grocery sector before and during its acquisition of Whole Foods and the pharmacy and health care sectors while making plans to challenge there, gained slightly Friday while topping $1,800 for the first time.

Value Stock Right Now? Investors with an interest in Computer - Networking stocks have likely encountered both Digi International (DGII) and Cisco Systems (CSCO). But which of these two stocks is more attractive to value investors? We'll need to take a closer look to find out. The best way to find great value stocks is to pair a strong Zacks Rank with an impressive grade in the Value category of our Style Scores system. The Zacks Rank is a proven strategy that targets companies with positive earnings estimate revision trends, while our Style Scores work to grade companies based on specific traits. Currently, Digi International has a Zacks Rank of #2 (Buy), while Cisco Systems has a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold). This system places an emphasis on companies that have seen positive earnings estimate revisions, so investors should feel comfortable knowing that DGII is likely seeing its earnings outlook improve to a greater extent. But this is just one factor that value investors are interested in. Value investors also try to analyze a wide range of traditional figures and metrics to help determine whether a company is undervalued at its current share price levels. The Value category of the Style Scores system identifies undervalued companies by looking at a number of key metrics. These include the long-favored P/E ratio, P/S ratio, earnings yield, cash flow per share, and a variety of other fundamentals that help us determine a company's fair value. DGII currently has a forward P/E ratio of 14.42, while CSCO has a forward P/E of 16.22. We also note that DGII has a PEG ratio of 0.85. This popular figure is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also considers a company's expected EPS growth rate. CSCO currently has a PEG ratio of 3.18. Another notable valuation metric for DGII is its P/B ratio of 1.80. The P/B ratio pits a stock's market value against its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. For comparison, CSCO has a P/B of 5.27. These metrics, and several others, help DGII earn a Value grade of B, while CSCO has been given a Value grade of D. DGII is currently sporting an improving earnings outlook, which makes it stick out in our Zacks Rank model. And, based on the above valuation metrics, we feel that DGII is likely the superior value option right now. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

LTRX is expanding its partnership with Qualcomm to bring AI-powered real-time analytics to edge systems. New projects include banking analytics, electronics quality control and smart farming. Lantronix remains focused on gaining customers and securing design wins. Despite acquisitions and innovation, challenges continue in IoT System Solutions, and Software and Services. In the second quarter of fiscal 2025, Embedded IoT Solutions revenues declined due to reduced orders from key automotive customers and a slight enterprise market slowdown. LTRX faces stiff competition in the computer-networking industry from the likes of RADCOM RDCM, Cisco Systems CSCO and NETGEAR NTGR. Tel Aviv, Israel-based RADCOM specializes in providing cloud-native, automated service assurance offerings for telecommunication operators for 5G networks. The strength of the company’s cloud and Gen AI-based assurance solution bodes well. The company remains focused on innovation, AI and automation, continually investing in research and development to strengthen its leadership in 5G assurance, expand its solution offerings and support operators in their transition to next-generation networks. Driven by healthy momentum, RDCM provided revenue guidance for 2025. It expects 2025 revenue growth between 12% and 15%, with a midpoint of $69.2 million. This implies a 13.5% increase from 2024. For 2024, the company recorded revenues of $61 million, marking an 18.2% year-over-year increase, and the fifth consecutive year of revenue growth and increased profitability. Headquartered in San Jose, CA, Cisco offers identity and access, advanced threat and unified threat management solutions. CSCO is benefiting from solid demand for its AI infrastructure solutions, with orders worth more than $700 million at the end of the first half of fiscal 2025. It remains on track to surpass $1 billion in AI infrastructure orders in fiscal 2025. The increasing deployment of AI-powered robotics and industrial security augurs well for CSCO’s industrial Internet of Things business. In the first half of fiscal 2025, orders grew more than 40%, along with growth of more than 50% in the second quarter of fiscal 2025 alone. Cisco’s security business is being driven by robust demand for both Cisco Secure Access and XDR. Both solutions, on a combined basis, have amassed more than 1,000 customers in the trailing 12 months. Each of the products has roughly 1 million enterprise users. Based in San Jose, CA, NETGEAR is a leading provider of advanced, high-performance and premium networking technologies and Internet-connected products for consumers, businesses and service providers. Strength in the NETGEAR for Business (“NFB”) segment and the premium products portfolio within the Connected Home business bodes well. Driven by momentum for ProAV managed switch products (which grew year over year in the double-digits), revenues from the NFB segment jumped 14.9% year over year and 2.9% sequentially to $80.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2024. Efforts to expand the Wi-Fi LAN business are other tailwinds. However, management highlighted that within the NFB segment, though demand for its ProAV line of managed switches remains robust, it is witnessing lengthy lead times for supply. This is likely to result in lower shipping of these products in the first quarter, leading to a muted revenue performance. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

DGII currently has a forward P/E ratio of 11.54, while CSCO has a forward P/E of 14.29. We also note that DGII has a PEG ratio of 0.68. This figure is similar to the commonly-used P/E ratio, with the PEG ratio also factoring in a company's expected earnings growth rate. CSCO currently has a PEG ratio of 2.80. Another notable valuation metric for DGII is its P/B ratio of 1.44. Investors use the P/B ratio to look at a stock's market value versus its book value, which is defined as total assets minus total liabilities. By comparison, CSCO has a P/B of 4.65.

Don't Ignore These 2 Computer and Technology Stocks Set to Beat Earnings Wall Street watches a company's quarterly report closely to understand as much as possible about its recent performance and what to expect going forward. Of course, one figure often stands out among the rest: earnings. The earnings figure itself is key, but a beat or miss on the bottom line can sometimes be just as, if not more, important. Therefore, investors should consider paying close attention to these earnings surprises, as a big beat can help a stock climb even higher. The Zacks Earnings ESP, or Expected Surprise Prediction, aims to find earnings surprises by focusing on the most recent analyst revisions. The basic premise is that if an analyst reevaluates their earnings estimate ahead of an earnings release, it means they likely have new information that could possibly be more accurate. The core of the ESP model is comparing the Most Accurate Estimate to the Zacks Consensus Estimate, where the resulting percentage difference between the two equals the Expected Surprise Prediction. Now that we understand what the ESP is and how beneficial it can be, let's dive into a stock that currently fits the bill. Cisco Systems (CSCO) earns a Zacks Rank #3 right now and its Most Accurate Estimate sits at $0.92 a share, just 23 days from its upcoming earnings release on May 21, 2025. Cisco Systems' Earnings ESP sits at 0.82%, which, as explained above, is calculated by taking the percentage difference between the $0.92 Most Accurate Estimate and the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.91. CSCO is part of a big group of Computer and Technology stocks that boast a positive ESP, and investors may want to take a look at Clear Secure (YOU) as well. Clear Secure, which is readying to report earnings on May 8, 2025, sits at a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) right now. It's Most Accurate Estimate is currently $0.32 a share, and YOU is 10 days out from its next earnings report. For Clear Secure, the percentage difference between its Most Accurate Estimate and its Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.30 is 7.86%. Because both stocks hold a positive Earnings ESP, CSCO and YOU could potentially post earnings beats in their next reports. Use the Zacks Earnings ESP Filter to turn up stocks with the highest probability of positively, or negatively, surprising to buy or sell before they're reported for profitable earnings season trading.

Revenue for the quarter reached $284.5 million, representing a 35% increase year over year, with strong growth in the Americas and EMEA regions. Extreme Networks Inc (NASDAQ:EXTR) achieved its best quarter of product bookings in six quarters, with 40 customers generating over $1 million in bookings. The company is successfully displacing major competitors like Cisco, HPE, and Juniper due to its differentiated campus fabric solution and flexible licensing. SaaS annual recurring revenue grew by 13.4% year over year, reaching $184 million, indicating strong momentum in the subscription business. Extreme Networks Inc (NASDAQ:EXTR) has improved its financial position, transitioning to a net cash position of $3 million and generating robust operating cash flow of $30 million during the quarter. The company faces potential tariff impacts, with an estimated $1.5 million hit to gross margin in the fourth quarter, which could continue into the next fiscal year. Gross margin decreased by 110 basis points sequentially, although it was up year over year. Operating expenses are expected to increase to a range of $143 million to $145 million in the fourth quarter, partly due to higher commissions and marketing events. The federal business remains immaterial, representing a growth opportunity rather than a current revenue driver. The data center business, which constitutes 10% to 15% of overall business, may not grow as fast as other segments, as the company's focus is more on campus-oriented solutions. Q: Can you provide feedback from customers regarding tariffs and their impact on future planning? Also, how will the $1.5 million tariff impact affect gross margins in fiscal '26? A: Edward Meyercord, CEO, explained that the tariff situation is dynamic, but currently, there's minimal impact due to exemptions. The company has guaranteed current pricing through the quarter, which has been well-received. Kevin Rhodes, CFO, added that the $1.5 million tariff impact is included in Q4 guidance, and potential price increases could offset this if tariffs become permanent. Q: Can you elaborate on competitive trends, particularly against Cisco, Juniper, and HPE? A: Edward Meyercord noted that HPE is struggling, potentially losing market share, while Juniper is aggressive in pricing due to stagnation.

CyberArk's focus on internal threats makes it a long-term winner. Cisco is a balanced play on the growing AI, data center, and security markets. 10 stocks we like better than Fortinet \u203a Cybersecurity stocks are great long-term investments for three simple reasons. First, most companies won't shut off their digital defenses to save a few dollars. Second, they're largely immune to tariffs and trade wars. Lastly, cyberattacks aren't getting any easier to contain. Therefore, most investors should own a few reliable cybersecurity stocks. Let's take a look at three of them -- Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), CyberArk (NASDAQ: CYBR), and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) -- to see why they might be great stocks to hold for the next decade. Fortinet, which serves more than 860,000 customers and offers a broad portfolio of over 50 enterprise security products, is one of the world's top cybersecurity companies. It originally developed next-gen firewalls, which added network filtering tools to traditional firewalls, but it subsequently expanded its ecosystem into a \""Security Fabric\"" of on-premise and cloud-based security services. Fortinet develops its own custom chips optimized for its hardware and software. It claims the difference enables its systems to operate more efficiently than competing platforms that use off-the-shelf components. It expects the convergence of the cybersecurity, networking, and hybrid cloud markets to drive its long-term growth. From 2014 to 2024, Fortinet's revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 23% as its earnings per share (EPS) increased at a CAGR of 54%. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect its revenue and EPS to increase at a CAGR of 14% and 11%, respectively. Fortinet's near-term growth might be affected by competition, messy macro headwinds, and increased spending on new chip designs. Its stock might also seem pricey at 47 times this year's earnings, but it should remain a reliable bellwether of the cybersecurity sector for the foreseeable future. CyberArk, which serves nearly 10,000 customers across 110 countries, is one of the world's leading privileged access management (PAM) companies. Instead of countering external threats, its PAM software tackles internal threats, like corporate spies and disgruntled employees, by locking down their compromised systems. CyberArk already controls about 38% of the PAM market, according to Morgan Stanley. Persistence Market Research expects that market to expand at a CAGR of 21.4% from 2024 to 2033 as more companies fortify their internal defenses. From 2014 to 2024, CyberArk's revenue increased at a CAGR of 26%. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect its revenue to grow at a CAGR of 24%. They also expect it to turn profitable in 2026 and quadruple its net income in 2027. It might not seem like a bargain at 13 times this year's sales, but it should still have plenty of room to run over the next decade. Cisco is one of the world's largest networking hardware and software companies. But it's also one of the world's largest cybersecurity companies. Its security division, which it expanded through a long list of acquisitions, generated $5.08 billion in revenue in fiscal 2024 (which ended last July) and accounted for 9% of its top line. While Cisco still generates most of its revenue from networking hardware, it integrates its cybersecurity services -- including its threat detection service ThreatGRID, cloud access security broker Cloudlock, and unified access platform Duo Security -- into those systems. Its acquisition of Splunk also significantly expands its arsenal of network observability services. From fiscal 2020 to fiscal 2024 (which ended last July), Cisco's revenue grew at a CAGR of 2% as its adjusted EPS rose at a CAGR of 4%. It maintained that stable growth even as supply chain headwinds disrupted its networking hardware sales in fiscal 2021 and fiscal 2022. Analysts expect Cisco's revenue and EPS to grow at a CAGR of 5% and 9%, respectively, from fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027 as it profits from the expansion of the AI, data center, and security markets. It's still reasonably valued at 25 times this year's earnings, pays a forward yield of 2.6%, and remains an attractive blue chip play for investors who value stability over aggressive growth.

Warning! GuruFocus has detected 2 Warning Sign with ANET. Back-end network switching for AI is set to grow from $6.3 billion in 2024 to $29 billion by 2029, with hyperscalers driving $17.6 billion of that demand. Evercore's Amit Daryanani estimates Arista could add $7 billion in revenue and over $2.00 in EPS by hitting market-share targetsroughly matching its 2024 run ratewhile Cisco could tack on $3.5 billion in revenue and $0.25 in EPS. Ethernet is forecast to capture the lion's share of growth, potentially up to 90%, as AI clusters at Meta (NASDAQ:META), Microsoft (NASDAQ:MSFT), Google (NASDAQ:GOOG) and Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) scale out. Daryanani notes that traditional data-center switches won't cut it for AI workloads, and that large enterprises will lean on model-as-a-service rather than build full clusters in-house. He also flags upside for Celestica (NYSE:CLS) and NVIDIA (NASDAQ:NVDA) in supporting components and InfiniBand alternatives. Investors should care because Arista's and Cisco's AI-centric networking strength could drive outsized revenue and profit growth well beyond the broader IT spending cycle.

As energy demands surge, finding innovative ways to reduce energy consumption becomes crucial. The transceiver power-control feature within Cisco MDS 9000 switches helps architecting sustainability in storage area networks and contributes to the broader goal of creating more environmentally responsible and cost-effective data center operations. The Power Challenge in Data Centers Modern data centers face a formidable challenge in managing escalating power demands. The sheer volume of servers, networking equipment, and storage arrays requires a substantial energy supply, leading to increased operational costs and a larger carbon footprint. The boom of Artificial Intelligence (AI) workloads and their power-hungry underlying infrastructure has changed trajectory and further exacerbated the situation. Addressing this challenge has become imperative for organizations striving for sustainability. In the journey toward net zero, Scope 2 greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions present a major hurdle for data center operators. With IT gear and network devices operating 24\u00d77, their usage phase is the main contributor to GHG emissions. For network devices, the power demand of optical transceivers continues to rise. An SFP+ transceiver can reach 1.5 Watts, while a QSFP-DD transceiver can exceed 16 Watts. As a result, optical transceivers account for a significant portion of the energy consumption in modern switches and routers. In a typical 1RU switch, optical transceivers could represent 16% or more of its energy consumption under standard operating conditions. Understanding Transceiver Power-Control Feature Cisco MDS switches harness the advantages of the transceiver power-control feature to achieve a harmonious balance between performance and energy efficiency. This new capability represents an innovation for the entire industry. Organizations can experience a notable reduction in energy costs, contributing to operational savings while simultaneously lessening their environmental impact. Typically, when optical transceivers are inserted into switch ports and a user administratively shuts down a specific port, the switch only disables the laser without cutting off power to the optical transceiver. This means that when the port is shut down, the optical transceiver still draws significant power despite a slight reduction. Starting with Cisco MDS 64G platforms (DS-X9748-3072K9, MDS 9124V, MDS 9148V, and MDS 9396V), there is an SFP FPGA hardware support for controlling power to the transceiver at the per-port level. The transceiver power-control feature utilizes this hardware capability to turn off the power to the transceiver when a port is administratively shutdown. Upon an administrator performing a \u2018no shutdown' on a port, the power is restored to that transceiver. Older Cisco MDS platforms, as well as competitive solutions, do not have this hardware capability and cannot turn off the power when a port is administratively down. With Cisco MDS NX-OS Release 9.4(2) onwards, the transceiver power-control feature is available and enabled by default on all MDS 64G platforms. With this feature, ports are always-ready, not always-on. In other words, a port is always ready to be powered up, but when administratively down, the port would stay powered off and consume no energy. Lab tests show that 34 Watts of power are saved for 24 ports in the admin down state with their short-wave transceiver being powered off. Higher savings are achieved with long-wave transceivers. One practical scenario sees a customer with 6000 ports having 20% of spare ports. The transceiver power-control feature leads to about 1680W saved, equivalent to 14717 kWh/year. For a data center with PUE = 1.5 and assuming 0,27 euro/kWh, this translates into 5960 euro of savings in the energy bill each year. One feature, many benefits The transceiver power-control feature is an example of static power control, well-suited for networking devices, where planning for additional connectivity is possible. Customer evidence shows that spare ports account for 10% to 50% of all installed switching ports, indicating that transceiver power-control could drive substantial energy savings. The transceiver power-control feature has many benefits, including: Up to 32% energy savings for a switch easy operations with remote settings for power control full real-time inventory even for interfaces that are administratively shut (power off), leveraging a highly engineered flow of operations within NX-OS software high reliability under power cycles and without an impact on failure rates, achieved by optimized design and tight qualification of Cisco SFPs SFP agnostic operation, applicable to any type of SFP qualified on 64G devices ubiquitous operation on both 64G switches and director line cards faster restart to avoid any delay for reaching mission mode on links included in the base offering at no additional cost Enabling/Disabling Transceiver Power-Control Feature The transceiver power-control feature is enabled by default on Cisco MDS 64G fibre channel switches. The feature can be turned on using the following CLI command: Enable/disable status of the feature can be viewed using the below CLI command. Transceiver power status for each port is displayed in the \""show interface\"" CLI command output. In the example below, interface fc1/3 shows that transceiver power-control feature is enabled, and the port is administratively shut. As a result, its power would be zero. Conclusion The deployment of Cisco MDS switches supporting the transceiver power-control feature represents a proactive step towards creating more sustainable and cost-effective data center operations. The potential benefits include energy savings, reduced energy bills, improved compliance with environmental standards, and a positive contribution to a more sustainable future.

The race to better compete with Nvidia (NVDA) is well underway. Enter well-funded private company Groq (GROQ.PVT), led by chip veteran Jonathan Ross. While at Google (GOOG), Ross designed the custom chips that the tech giant would go on to use for training its AI models. Ross tells me his startup, founded in 2016, is finding numerous opportunities to wrestle business away from the iron grips of AI chip titan Nvidia by moving quicker. \""[Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang] said, if you want to spend $100 billion and have hardware in two years in your data center, there's only one company in the world that you can trust to do that, and that's Nvidia,\"" Ross said on a new episode of Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid podcast (see video above; listen below). \""I agree with that statement.

(CSCO) is Attracting Investor Attention: Here is What You Should Know Cisco Systems (CSCO) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock. Shares of this seller of routers, switches, software and services have returned +8.5% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +6.4% change. The Zacks Computer - Networking industry, to which Cisco belongs, has gained 10.1% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Rather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Cisco is expected to post earnings of $0.97 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +11.5%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -0.7%. The consensus earnings estimate of $3.78 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +1.3%. This estimate has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4 indicates a change of +5.8% from what Cisco is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +1.1%. With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Cisco. The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate: Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial. In the case of Cisco, the consensus sales estimate of $14.6 billion for the current quarter points to a year-over-year change of +7%. The $56.57 billion and $59.15 billion estimates for the current and next fiscal years indicate changes of +5.1% and +4.6%, respectively. Cisco reported revenues of $14.15 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +11.4%. EPS of $0.96 for the same period compares with $0.88 a year ago. Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14.06 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +0.65%. The EPS surprise was +5.49%. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period. No investment decision can be efficient without considering a stock's valuation. Whether a stock's current price rightly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects is an essential determinant of its future price performance. Comparing the current value of a company's valuation multiples, such as its price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), to its own historical values helps ascertain whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, whereas comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of how reasonable its stock price is. The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an An is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued. Cisco is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade. The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Cisco. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

Seventy-eight per cent of leaders say playing it safe became the biggest threat to Canada's competitiveness, with 82% stating they would take more risks if financial failure weren't a concern. As Cisco Canada celebrates 10 years of the Toronto Innovation Centre, it continues to help businesses pilot and scale innovative ideas in a low-risk, collaborative environment. TORONTO, June 2, 2025 /CNW/ - Nearly all Canadians believe innovation is essential to our future prosperity \u2014 and expect businesses to lead the way. Cisco, the global leader in networking and security, revealed new research that shows 93% of business leaders and 89% of Canadians agree that the future of innovation in this country rests with business, not government. The research, released to mark the Cisco Toronto Innovation Centre's 10th anniversary, reveals a critical gap: despite acknowledging innovation's importance, Canadian business leaders consistently underfund the bold initiatives necessary to compete in today's challenging market. \""We're witnessing a pivotal moment for Canadian business,\"" said Raj Juneja, President, Cisco Canada. \""Organizations understand that standing still means falling behind. The question is no longer whether to innovate, but how to do so in a way that manages risk while maximizing opportunity.\"" Risk aversion and investment threatens competitiveness Nearly 80% of Canadian business leaders say that \""playing it safe\"" has become the greatest risk to the country's competitiveness. Yet, many businesses still struggle to move from belief to execution. At the same time, 70% view innovation itself as risky in today's economy, even though the vast majority (87%) agree that not innovating will cost their business more in the long run. At a time where Canadian productivity is under scrutiny, this paradox underscores a challenge: Canada knows it must innovate to stay competitive, but risk aversion is holding it back. The data reveals a clear tension between ambition and action when it comes to innovation. While 82% of Canadian businesses say they would take more risks if they didn't have to worry about the financial cost of failure, only 26% have dedicated R&D or innovation budgets. This gap between recognition and investment highlights both a challenge and a significant opportunity for Canadian business. More than a decade of innovation support For the past decade, Cisco Canada's Toronto Innovation Centre has worked to bridge this gap by creating a space where innovation doesn't have to be high-risk. With support of Cisco's Canada Country Digital Acceleration Program, the centre has helped Canadian organizations across industries experiment, co-create, and solve real-world challenges with AI and analytics, advanced security, networking and connectivity, and connected devices. Overall, Cisco Canada invests more than $200 million annually in innovation in Canada including through the Toronto Innovation Centre, research and development, partnerships and programs, and more. \""Canadian businesses aren't short on ideas \u2013 they're short on ways to safely test them,\"" said Wayne Cuervo, Director of the Digital Impact Office, Cisco Canada. \""When organizations can experiment freely in a collaborative, supported environment, we see remarkable breakthroughs.\"" In today's economy, Canadian businesses need more than just new technology, they need cultures that support smart risk-taking and experimentation. The Toronto Innovation Centre shows how collaboration between government, academia, and industry can tackle complex challenges and help organizations prepare for what's ahead. \""Over the past decade, our Innovation Centre has brought together partners from across sectors to solve real-world challenges, and the results speak for themselves,\"" said Justin Cohen, Leader, Cisco Innovation Centre Canada. \""We've helped connect underserved communities, developed smart technologies that support seniors living independently, created solar-powered meeting rooms and backed projects that make a meaningful difference in people's lives. This is what purposeful innovation looks like and we couldn't be prouder.\"" About CiscoCisco is the worldwide technology leader that is revolutionizing the way organizations connect and protect in the AI era.

At some point, they'll make so few mistakes you can use it in medicine, you can use it in law,\"" Groq founder and CEO Jonathan Ross said on Yahoo Finance's Opening Bid podcast (watch above; listen-only below). Ross said the ability of AI models to invent is among the next wave coming, and it's likely to happen within his lifetime. Currently, LLMs tend to pick the most probable answer to questions, which precludes them from discovering something new. \""And if it's the most obvious, it's not going to be good writing. It's not going to be good science. It's not going to invent something for you. It's not going to invent a drug that isn't known. That's what we're working on next. Invention is next,\"" Ross explained. While at Google (GOOG, GOOGL), Ross designed the custom chips that the tech giant would go on to use for training its AI models.

Cisco is quietly selling the building blocks of the booming cloud and AI markets. Both stocks are underappreciated, but they could deliver big long-term gains. 10 stocks we like better than Apple \u203a The Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJINDICES: ^DJI) index, which includes the 30 most prominent companies in the U.S., is used by some as a benchmark of the American economy. Over the past 10 years, the Dow advanced about 135%, even as the COVID-19 pandemic, inflation, rising interest rates, and other macro headwinds rattled the markets. Also, over that decade, some well-known companies, including General Electric, ExxonMobil, Pfizer, and Intel, were removed from the index and replaced by higher-growth companies, including Amazon, Salesforce, and Nvidia. But despite those occasional changes, the Dow remains a good starting point for seeking out some promising long-term investments. Today, I'll look at two of those stocks -- Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) -- and explain why they're set to soar in 2025 and beyond. Apple's stock has slumped about 20% since the beginning of the year. The bulls shunned the tech titan for four main reasons. First, the Trump administration's unpredictable tariffs, especially against China, could cause its production costs to soar. Second, Apple's AI efforts failed to impress investors as much as OpenAI's ChatGPT and other generative AI platforms. Third, its closely watched mixed reality efforts fizzled out after it halted its production of the Vision Pro. Lastly, Fortnite publisher Epic Games won a major legal victory against Apple after a U.S. court ruled that the company could bypass its App Store fees with other payment methods. That victory could allow other developers to bypass Apple's 30% fees with a similar payment measure. All of those challenges -- along with Warren Buffett's decision to trim Berkshire Hathaway's big stake in Apple over the past year -- weighed down its stock. Yet investors are overlooking some of Apple's long-term strengths. It ended its latest quarter with $133 billion in cash and marketable securities, which gives it ample room for fresh investments and acquisitions. It has an installed device base of over 2.2 billion, and it's already locked in over a billion paid subscriptions across all of its services. It could leverage that massive audience to justify its App Store fees as it appeals the Epic Games ruling. Apple's brand appeal, the stickiness of its ecosystem, and its high switching costs should continue to drive its future sales of iPhones, Macs, iPads, and other devices. Its rollout of new custom chips, its integration of new AI features, and a more affordable version of the Vision Pro -- which might arrive in 2026 or 2027 -- could keep it ahead of its Android-based rivals. As for the tariffs, it could mitigate those impacts by shifting its supply chains to lower-tariff countries like India or Vietnam. From fiscal 2024, which ended last September, to fiscal 2027, analysts expect Apple's earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12%. Its stock still looks reasonably valued at 26 times next year's earnings, and it should head higher once it resolves its near-term issues. Cisco's stock has risen about 6% this year. Investors warmed up to the world's top networking hardware and software company as its growth stabilized and fresh catalysts appeared on the horizon. It struggled in fiscal 2024, which ended last July, as its customers placed too many hardware orders after its previous supply constraints eased in fiscal 2023. A challenging macro environment then drove those customers to deploy those devices at a slower-than-expected rate -- so Cisco's shipments abruptly dried up. But over the past year, Cisco's hardware sales stabilized as the market's demand finally caught up with its inventories again. It also expanded its observability segment by acquiring Splunk last March, and it's been expanding its cybersecurity business with new AI-powered services such as Hypershield and AI Defense. Moreover, its AI-related infrastructure business continued to expand and generated $1.35 billion in revenue in the first nine months of fiscal 2025. That accounted for 3% of its revenue during those three quarters and easily surpassed its prior goal for generating $1 billion in AI infrastructure revenue for the full fiscal year. Cisco will probably never become a hypergrowth AI play like Nvidia, yet it provides the essential building blocks for the growing data center, cloud, and AI markets. With $15.6 billion in cash and marketable securities at the end of its latest quarter, it still has plenty of room to expand its higher-growth businesses and maintain its buybacks, which cancelled out over a fifth of its shares over the past decade, for years to come. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027, analysts expect Cisco's EPS to grow at a CAGR of 9% -- and its stock still isn't expensive at 22 times next year's earnings. Simply put, it could head a lot higher over the next few years as its core markets expand.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $3.78 per share, improved from an estimate of $3.72 per share in the past 60 days. Shares have gained 35.7% in the past year. Price & Consensus: CSCO NETGEAR: Headquartered in San Jose, CA, NETGEAR is a leading provider of advanced, high-performance and premium networking technologies and Internet-connected products for consumers, businesses and service providers.Strength in the NETGEAR for Business (\u201cNFB\u201d) segment and recurring revenues bode well. Driven by ongoing momentum for ProAV managed switch products, revenues from the NFB segment jumped 15.4% to $79.2 million in the last reported quarter. Going ahead, the company continues to expect end-user demand for the ProAV line of managed switches to remain strong. However, NETGEAR highlighted that it continues to witness supply constraints around certain managed switch products but expects these to ease in the second quarter and improve in the remaining half of the year.The 2024 strategic realignment resulted in annual cost savings of $20 million, creating room for reinvestment in core growth areas. Moreover, NETGEAR completed a successful destocking plan across CHP and NFB, leading to a $86 million reduction in inventory in 2024. This is expected to help the company align sell-in with sell-through with channel partners, thereby increasing revenue predictability. A strong cash position and ongoing share repurchases bode wellRevenue challenges persist. In the first quarter, NETGEAR generated net revenues of $162.1 million, down 1.5% on a year-over-year basis. The decline highlights persistent headwinds in certain business units, particularly Mobile. Mobile segment revenues of $21.5 million were down 23.5% year over year and 10.9% sequentially. Even though the management cited better-than-expected end-user demand, the decline could also imply waning product competitiveness. The lack of near-term catalysts, with new product introductions only expected later in 2025, may limit near-term recovery in this segment. At present, NTGR carries a Zacks Rank #3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 bottom line is pegged at a loss of 75 cents per share, unchanged in the past seven days. Shares have skyrocketed 124.5% in the past year.

Zacks Investment Research""]" CSCO,2025-06-05,64.48,64.91,64.28,64.65,"[""Cisco: The Future of Energy: How Innovation and Infrastructure Are Needed To Respond to AI Growth By Kelsi Doran NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 5, 2025 / In 2024, the International Energy Agency (IEA) estimated that data centers accounted for roughly 1.5 percent of global electricity demand. That number is expected to more than double by 2030, driven largely by the rise in AI infrastructure. To put this into perspective, that increase would be equivalent to Japan's total electricity consumption today. How will we meet this rising need for energy - not only from artificial intelligence (AI), but from other digital technologies and the electrification of industries, such as transportation and buildings? While this challenge may seem daunting, there is reason for optimism. We are seeing numerous innovations and technologies paving the way forward, including advancements in more energy-efficient data centers, breakthroughs in liquid cooling, improved software models, increased energy security, and the exploration of alternative energy sources. I recently had the opportunity to discuss the future of energy with Mary de Wysocki, SVP and Chief Sustainability Officer at Cisco; Adele Trombetta, SVP & GM, CX EMEA at Cisco; and Christopher Wellise, VP of Sustainability at Equinix, a Cisco customer that provides global digital infrastructure and colocation services. Here are some of the highlights from our conversation. Q: How are customers adjusting their strategies in response to the energy picture right now? Adele: Our customers and partners are driving strong demand for AI deployment to unlock its benefits and stay competitive. This trend spans across industries in both the public and private sectors. The pressure is undeniable, but the energy impact of AI, particularly generative AI, is also on our customers' minds, especially as large language models (LLMs) are being deployed and trained at scale. Many of our customers across Europe, the Middle East and Africa (EMEA) have net-zero targets, so they need to manage the accelerating adoption of AI carefully. They are approaching this with sustainability in mind, making it a core part of strategy development rather than an afterthought. It's about adopting AI while simultaneously managing its energy impact. Mary: Interestingly, perspectives can vary depending on who you're speaking with - whether it's customers, partners, or suppliers. A common theme emerging, particularly in light of global dynamics, is resiliency. There is a clear focus on proactive investments to secure the energy needed for the future. It's also about finding ways to move forward collaboratively and identifying opportunities for co-investment. The priorities are clear: we need growth, resilience, and a more sustainable approach. Chris: We're seeing several key themes across the customer landscape. Resiliency and reliability are top priorities, with customers focused on ensuring their applications run smoothly. Regulatory compliance is another major concern, especially in regions like the European Union (EU) with directives such as the EU Energy Efficiency Directive. Another request is for end-to-end solutions that optimize operations across the entire value chain as well as support sustainability reporting and regulatory requirements. As customers adopt hybrid multi-cloud environments, they are keen to optimize energy use across platforms and regions. Finally, partnerships are critical. Customers recognize the need to collaborate with suppliers, energy providers, and others to meet their goals and optimize energy use. For example, in the Cisco-Equinix partnership, 70% of devices connected to the Equinix fabric run on Cisco technology. Q: We know data centers are the foundation for supporting the AI boom and managing its related energy needs. What are some technological advancements that are happening in the data center? Mary: Designing products with energy efficiency in mind is a critical first step in delivering business outcomes and addressing sustainability. For example, Cisco's Silicon One chip is engineered to be both energy-efficient and optimized for AI workloads, enabling customers to reduce power consumption while meeting the growing demands of modern networks and data-intensive applications. In addition to that, a foundational innovation for customers, partners, and suppliers is our Sustainability Data Foundation (SDF). It provides a single source of truth, offering the data needed to manage carbon footprints and progress toward net-zero goals. This information empowers technology leaders with the tools to better manage energy and drive sustainability. Chris: Designing for efficiency is so important. Since 2021, we have required all new build sites to pursue LEED or an equivalent green building certification to demonstrate adherence to recognized sustainability best practices in design and construction. Data centers, built to last 20 to 30 years, require optimization in both design and operations. Innovation in cooling is especially important because cooling typically accounts for over half of energy consumption. Over 100 Equinix data centers are now enabled with access to liquid cooling technology, such as heat exchangers or direct-to-chip cooling. In the latter, a copper plate, fluid, and closed-loop system remove heat directly from the chip while using chemicals to prevent erosion and bio slimes. From a sustainability perspective, this concentrated heat becomes highly usable. For example, in Helsinki, Finland, heat from data centers warms over 10,000 homes, and during the last Summer Olympics, the aquatic center pools were heated by an Equinix data center. Additionally, AI-powered advanced software can create digital twins to optimize cooling parameters and reduce energy consumption for cooling. Adele: Cisco's new products now integrate both sustainability and security into the design process. Customers increasingly want to understand how we deploy, monitor, and optimize technology to address energy consumption, performance, and AI. According to a Gartner study, \""By 2030, more than 70% of data centers will monitor sustainability metrics, up from approximately 10% today.\"" (source: Gartner\u00ae). Collaboration within the partner and customer ecosystem is key to modernization and efficient resource use. Coordinating diverse data - ranging from Cisco networking equipment to grid data, weather, location, and IT/OT systems - presents a complex but exciting challenge. With Splunk, we can streamline this process and generate the insights needed for effective information flow and optimization. Q: How well is the global electricity infrastructure equipped to handle growing electricity demand? Chris: Our primary challenge lies more in distribution than in supply, and the reasons for this vary by region. In the United States, aging infrastructure and complex policy and regulatory environments plays a role. In Europe, while there is rapid growth in renewable energy, integrating it effectively into the grid remains a challenge. In Asia, the situation is more diverse, with both rapid renewable energy expansion and a continued heavy reliance on fossil fuels. To tackle these issues effectively, it is crucial to address both distribution and supply simultaneously. Mary: Generative AI requires significant energy, prompting the question: how do we ensure reliable access to the grid? In New York City, I see both opportunity and challenge in the grid. The U.S. grid, built mostly in the '60s and '70s, lacks reliability and resilience, with 70% of transmission lines over 25 years old. We see the potential of AI to help address major challenges, but its success depends on modernizing the grid and data centers. Industrial IoT can play a key role in creating smart, more secure grids that maximize available energy, support diverse energy sources and enable predictive maintenance. Adele: We are partnering with customers eager for digital transformation, including energy companies supporting critical national infrastructure. Leveraging this shift, we are focusing on creating more sustainable solutions and we're building smart grids that prioritize efficiency. While AI is still in its early stages, ongoing collaboration and partnership with utilities is vital to ensure flexibility and adaptability for their evolving needs.

View the original press release on ACCESS Newswire"", ""HPE CEO on upcoming Juniper Network trial: The DOJ's thesis is 'flawed' Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is about to head into one interesting summer. One that includes cost-cutting, a battle with the Department of Justice, and likely talks with a feared activist investor. HPE CEO Antonio Neri tells me his team is up to the tasks. Shares traded around flat on Wednesday, with the company appearing to have stabilized its key server business after a surprisingly poor quarter three months earlier. Execs said they have tightened up the economics around server deal pricing and are holding managers more accountable for performance. The business has \""bottomed,\"" Neri said. Margins in the business still tanked to 5.9% from 11% a year ago. The more challenging demand backdrop has also hurt server rival Dell (DELL). HPE predicted that its efforts to right the ship, which include a heavy dose of cost-cutting, could get server segment margins to 10% by the end of the fourth quarter. Its other segments in intelligent edge and hybrid cloud delivered margin improvement in the second quarter. Still, HPE remains in a period of transition with a couple of key factors that could influence the direction of the stock. The company announced several months ago that it would slash 3,000 jobs, equating to 5% of its workforce. On Tuesday's earnings call, executives said \""nothing is off limits\"" on the cost-cutting front. HPE expects to save about $350 million from the layoffs. In July, the company is heading to trial against the DOJ for its blocked $14 billion deal to acquire Cisco (CSCO) rival Juniper Networks (JNPR). The outcome of the deal continues to be unknown. The DOJ had sued to stop the deal due to concerns about lessening competition. \""The DOJ's thesis is flawed,\"" Neri said, pointing to a host of competitors in the networking space. The end result could dictate how HPE addresses feared activist investor Elliott Management, which in April revealed a $1.5 billion stake in HPE. Elliott's intentions on HPE are unclear, and a spokesperson didn't return Yahoo Finance's request for comment. But Elliott's playbook often shakes up a company's board to unlock shareholder value, either by enacting a new stock buyback plan or fresh cost-cutting commitments. HPE certainly has the cash to consider a buyback to appease Elliott if the Juniper deal falls through. The company currently has $11.7 billion in cash, equating to an outsized 50% of its market cap. \""In addition to management highlighting the focus on cost management and efficiency ... the team also highlighted the appetite for pursuing capital return and portfolio actions beyond current endeavors, which in aggregate could drive enthusiasm with investors who have already been closely watching for further developments following the involvement of Elliott as an activist shareholder,\"" JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee wrote in a note. Neri said Elliott is a \""smart\"" investor, and he remains open to listening for ideas that could drive value for HPE shareholders. Brian Sozzi is Yahoo Finance's Executive Editor.

Cisco had AI infrastructure orders worth more than $600 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2025, exceeding Cisco\u2019s $1 billion annual target a quarter ahead of schedule. However, challenging macroeconomic conditions, as well as stiff competition in the networking and security domain, is expected to hurt Cisco\u2019s prospects in the near term. At present, CSCO carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). You can see the complete list of today\u2019s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2025 earnings is pegged at $3.78 per share, improved from an estimate of $3.72 per share in the past 60 days. Shares have gained 35.7% in the past year. NETGEAR: Headquartered in San Jose, CA, NETGEAR is a leading provider of advanced, high-performance and premium networking technologies and Internet-connected products for consumers, businesses and service providers. Strength in the NETGEAR for Business (\u201cNFB\u201d) segment and recurring revenues bode well. Driven by ongoing momentum for ProAV managed switch products, revenues from the NFB segment jumped 15.4% to $79.2 million in the last reported quarter. Going ahead, the company continues to expect end-user demand for the ProAV line of managed switches to remain strong. However, NETGEAR highlighted that it continues to witness supply constraints around certain managed switch products but expects these to ease in the second quarter and improve in the remaining half of the year. The 2024 strategic realignment resulted in annual cost savings of $20 million, creating room for reinvestment in core growth areas. Moreover, NETGEAR completed a successful destocking plan across CHP and NFB, leading to a $86 million reduction in inventory in 2024. This is expected to help the company align sell-in with sell-through with channel partners, thereby increasing revenue predictability. A strong cash position and ongoing share repurchases bode well Revenue challenges persist. In the first quarter, NETGEAR generated net revenues of $162.1 million, down 1.5% on a year-over-year basis. The decline highlights persistent headwinds in certain business units, particularly Mobile. Mobile segment revenues of $21.5 million were down 23.5% year over year and 10.9% sequentially. Even though the management cited better-than-expected end-user demand, the decline could also imply waning product competitiveness. The lack of near-term catalysts, with new product introductions only expected later in 2025, may limit near-term recovery in this segment. At present, NTGR carries a Zacks Rank #3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 bottom line is pegged at a loss of 75 cents per share, unchanged in the past seven days. Shares have skyrocketed 124.5% in the past year. Extreme Networks: Based in Morrisville, NC, the company provides AI-driven cloud networking solutions. Strong demand for the company\u2019s wired and wireless network solutions is driving revenues, as reflected by a 35% year-over-year revenue growth in the last reported quarter. Extreme\u2019s launch of Platform ONE, an AI-driven holistic networking solution, marks a major innovation milestone. Momentum in subscription bookings is expected to grow with the adoption of Platform ONE and drive up SaaS annual recurring revenues (ARR). In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, SaaS ARR rose 13.4% year over year. Management has raised guidance for the full year, driven by strong momentum. For fiscal 2025, it now expects revenues to be $1.128 billion to $1.138 billion compared with $1.120 billion to $1.138 billion. Nonetheless, heavy reliance on product revenues and competitive pressures remain concerning. At present, EXTR carries a Zacks Rank #3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2025 bottom line is pegged at 81 cents per share, unchanged in the past seven days. Shares have gained 44.4% in the past year.

The recommendations of Wall Street analysts are often relied on by investors when deciding whether to buy, sell, or hold a stock. Media reports about these brokerage-firm-employed (or sell-side) analysts changing their ratings often affect a stock's price. Do they really matter, though? Let's take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Cisco Systems (CSCO) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage. Cisco currently has an average brokerage recommendation (ABR) of 1.80, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 22 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.80 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy. Of the 22 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 12 are Strong Buy and two are Buy. Strong Buy and Buy respectively account for 54.6% and 9.1% of all recommendations. Check price target & stock forecast for Cisco here>>>The ABR suggests buying Cisco, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation. Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every \""Strong Sell\"" recommendation, brokerage firms assign five \""Strong Buy\"" recommendations. In other words, their interests aren't always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock's price movement. With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, which classifies stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), is a reliable indicator of a stock's near -term price performance. So, validating the Zacks Rank with ABR could go a long way in making a profitable investment decision. Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether. The ABR is calculated solely based on brokerage recommendations and is typically displayed with decimals (example: 1.28). In contrast, the Zacks Rank is a quantitative model allowing investors to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5. It has been and continues to be the case that analysts employed by brokerage firms are overly optimistic with their recommendations. Because of their employers' vested interests, these analysts issue more favorable ratings than their research would support, misguiding investors far more often than helping them. In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research. Furthermore, the different grades of the Zacks Rank are applied proportionately across all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide earnings estimates for the current year. In other words, at all times, this tool maintains a balance among the five ranks it assigns. There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices. In terms of earnings estimate revisions for Cisco, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $3.79. Analysts' steady views regarding the company's earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Cisco.

Cisco and Splunk deliver powerful integrations across Cisco's network, firewall and threat detection capabilities to enhance visibility, accelerate detection, and streamline response across infrastructure and applications. SAN DIEGO, June 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- CISCO LIVE -- Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) today announced innovations to help enterprises reimagine security for the AI era. Security teams are racing to securely adopt AI throughout their enterprises, while threat actors are using AI to increase the frequency and reduce the cost of launching sophisticated cyber attacks. To overcome this unprecedented challenge, Cisco is fusing security capabilities deeper into its networking infrastructure, helping companies implement zero trust architectures, innovating on security for AI apps and models, and delivering breakthrough AI tools that improve threat detection and remediation. Key advancements announced at Cisco Live include solutions for Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Universal Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA) that simplify policy management, enhance visibility, and enable enterprises to scale securely without adding complexity to their security stack. In addition, Cisco announced further Splunk integrations that unify data across platforms, helping security teams automate tasks and respond faster to threats. \""Safety and security are the defining challenges of the AI era\u2014and agentic AI multiplies the risk, as every new agent is both a force multiplier and a fresh attack surface,\"" said Jeetu Patel, President and Chief Product Officer, Cisco. \""At the same time, threat actors are already leveraging AI tools to launch more sophisticated attacks than ever. To help IT and security teams fight back, Cisco is reimagining how we secure networks, protect AI apps and models, manage identity, and equip security teams with the AI tools they need to meet the moment.\"" Reimagining Zero Trust: Fusing AI-Powered Security into the Network Robust network security has never been more critical, as enterprises navigate increasingly complex environments characterized by a growing number of applications, a highly-distributed and mobile workforce, and sophisticated AI-driven threats. Adopting a zero-trust security approach \u2013 including continuously verifying users, applications, and soon AI agents \u2013 is critical to preventing the lateral movement of threats across hybrid environments. Cisco is addressing these challenges with innovative solutions for AI-ready data centers and campus networks, centered on the Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Universal ZTNA. Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Universal ZTNA work together to deliver a robust zero-trust security framework that seamlessly integrates into the network. For zero-trust segmentation, AI application protection and advanced threat protection across diverse environments, including data centers and IoT, Cisco Hybrid Mesh Firewall offers a distributed security fabric. This fabric includes Cisco and third-party firewalls, Cisco Hypershield and Cisco Secure Workload. For secure, identity-driven access for users and devices, regardless of location, Universal ZTNA unifies policy management and extends zero trust principles even to unmanaged devices and IoT. Together, these solutions secure user-to-application connections and back-end interactions, simplify management through Cisco's Security Cloud Control, and enhance observability with AI-driven insights, empowering organizations to scale securely and protect their digital assets in a complex threat landscape.

(CSCO) a Buy Now? Cisco Systems (CSCO) is one of the stocks most watched by Zacks.com visitors lately. So, it might be a good idea to review some of the factors that might affect the near-term performance of the stock. Shares of this seller of routers, switches, software and services have returned +6.9% over the past month versus the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +6.3% change. The Zacks Computer - Networking industry, to which Cisco belongs, has gained 10.2% over this period. Now the key question is: Where could the stock be headed in the near term? Although media reports or rumors about a significant change in a company's business prospects usually cause its stock to trend and lead to an immediate price change, there are always certain fundamental factors that ultimately drive the buy-and-hold decision. Rather than focusing on anything else, we at Zacks prioritize evaluating the change in a company's earnings projection. This is because we believe the fair value for its stock is determined by the present value of its future stream of earnings. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. For the current quarter, Cisco is expected to post earnings of $0.97 per share, indicating a change of +11.5% from the year-ago quarter. The Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed -0.2% over the last 30 days. The consensus earnings estimate of $3.79 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +1.6%. This estimate has remained unchanged over the last 30 days. For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4 indicates a change of +5.6% from what Cisco is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +1.1%. With an impressive externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool -- the Zacks Rank -- is a more conclusive indicator of a stock's near-term price performance, as it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Cisco. The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate: While earnings growth is arguably the most superior indicator of a company's financial health, nothing happens as such if a business isn't able to grow its revenues. After all, it's nearly impossible for a company to increase its earnings for an extended period without increasing its revenues. So, it's important to know a company's potential revenue growth. For Cisco, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $14.61 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +7.1%. For the current and next fiscal years, $56.59 billion and $59.15 billion estimates indicate +5.2% and +4.5% changes, respectively. Cisco reported revenues of $14.15 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +11.4%. EPS of $0.96 for the same period compares with $0.88 a year ago. Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14.06 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +0.65%. The EPS surprise was +5.49%. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period. Without considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects. While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price. As part of the Zacks Style Scores system, the Zacks Value Style Score (which evaluates both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics) organizes stocks into five groups ranging from A to F (A is better than B; B is better than C; and so on), making it helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued. Cisco is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade. The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Cisco. However, its Zacks Rank #3 does suggest that it may perform in line with the broader market in the near term. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily CIO Dive newsletter. Cisco rolled out a series of hardware upgrades designed to ease enterprise AI adoption, including retooled networking components, a unified network management platform and the Deep Network Model domain-specific large language model to power an AI assistant, the company said Tuesday at its annual Cisco Live conference in San Diego. \u201cAs AI transforms work, it fuels explosive traffic growth across campus, branch and industrial networks, overwhelming IT teams with complexity and novel security risks at a time when downtime has never been more costly,\u201d Jeetu Patel, president and chief product officer at Cisco, said in the announcement. Cisco\u2019s portfolio overhaul comes as CIOs grapple with infrastructure limitations and safety concerns inherent in AI deployments, according to Matt Eastwood, IDC SVP of enterprise infrastructure. \u201cThe reality is that existing enterprise networks are simply not equipped to handle the scale, security and reliability requirements that AI demands,\u201d Eastwood said in the announcement. Cisco is banking on enterprises taking a hybrid route to AI adoption. The LLMs that power off-the-shelf chatbots, copilots and AI assistants are trained on high-capacity chips in massive cloud data centers but enterprises need secure networks to connect models to their data. The company signaled an enterprise IT shift last month, after surpassing its fiscal year 2025 goal of $1 billion in hyperscaler AI networking gear orders in its third quarter, which ended on April 26. \u201cOn the tail-end of building out all the public cloud infrastructure for training, there is a significantly larger opportunity in enterprise AI, as they build out the capability to do inferencing inside their own data centers,\u201d Cisco EVP and CFO Scott Herren said during the Q3 2025 earnings call. Cisco saw revenue increase 11% to $14.1 billion, with networking revenue growing 8% year over year. Switches and enterprise routing equipment led the segment with double-digit growth, Herren said. As AI infrastructure build outs reach into the enterprise, Cisco has tightened its alliance with GPU chipmaker Nvidia. The two companies agreed to collaborate on an integrated architecture for AI-ready enterprise data center networks in February and announced Tuesday that Nvidia\u2019s RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell Server Edition GPU is available in Cisco servers. In addition to training a network-savvy AI agent trained on Cisco specifications and courseware to detect anomalies, diagnose problems and automate workflows, the company is designing routers, switches and other networking gear for a growing class of agentic tools, Patel said during a briefing last week. \u201cThere'll be tens of billions of agents conducting work on our behalf,\u201d said Patel. \u201cTo get all this to happen, the fundamental requirements around infrastructure, as well as safety and security, will need to be completely rethought, because the classical ways that infrastructure was handled just won't be able to deal with the scale and proportion that we're talking about \u2014 that's why you're seeing such a massive level of build out globally of data center capacity.\u201d The largest hyperscaler by market share, AWS, committed $20 billion to AI infrastructure buildouts in Pennsylvania on Monday.

Zacks Investment Research"", ""Cisco demonstrates great dexterity at Cisco Live San Diego 2025 AI features announced at Cisco Live San Diego 2025 reveal that the company continues moving the needle in a meaningful way on multiple fronts simultaneously - customer experience, devices, and hybrid work, as well as manageability and resilience. Collectively the announcements allow companies to forge deeper bonds with customers, make employees more productive, and enable organisations to oversee their AI estates more effectively. Contact centres are converting from an orientation around human agents to including AI agents as well, from reactive to proactive, from transaction-oriented to relationship-oriented, and from generic to deeply personalised. Cisco believes that this transformation makes customer experience the killer app for AI and intends to embed the technology across its customer experience portfolio. Attention-grabbing announcements certainly bear this out such as templates used to create custom AI agents (coming Q3 2025), the ability of organisations to choose the large language models (LLMs) of their liking, and call summaries that enable agents to choose an appropriate internal expert to engage (expected in Q3 2025). The prominence Cisco has placed on the device experience is a key differentiator. The overarching theme of Cisco's device strategy is not to merely provide technology, but instead to drive simple, inclusive experiences through technology. This was especially evident in two announcements. The Room Vision Pan Tilt Zoom (PTZ) camera, orderable in June 2025, provides realistic video quality and tracks meeting participants in small to large rooms. Zero-touch device provisioning (Q4 2025) enables faster device rollout and faster creation of more inclusive meeting experiences. Included among the announcements were two areas that usually receive relatively little attention at major Cisco events: manageability and resiliency. The most intriguing manageability announcement centered on features set to go into beta during Q3 2025 that enable organisations to measure their AI adoption and assess its impact. With respect to resiliency, the announcements were noteworthy for focusing on on-premise environments. Cisco has routinely touted itself as a cloud-first company, but those announcements shrewdly acknowledge that there is a world outside the cloud that needs to be supported. There was a single, purely hybrid work announcement but it is worth mentioning for its incorporation of agentic AI, the latest craze on the AI front. A meeting scheduler for Webex AI Assistant, slotted for beta in Q3 2025, can detect intention from a meeting summary and scan multiple calendars to create a proposed meeting date. This takes a mundane task off a user's plate and allows them to focus on more important activities. Taking a step back from the bells and whistles and viewing the announcements within a broader context yields some additional perspective. Cisco is riding the winds of change that have swept across team collaboration platforms. The pandemic drove the ascent of these platforms, and competitors responded with successive rounds of feature wars. Cooler heads eventually prevailed, and a 'truce' was issued in the form of interoperability between rival platforms. Now, things have come full circle to a degree with competitors reaching deep into the AI 'treasure trove' and circulating AI features platform-wide. Cisco is seeking to separate itself from the pack by touting AI innovations across its entire portfolio whether software or hardware. Coupled with long-standing expertise in collaboration, networking, and security, Cisco enjoys a uniquely strong competitive position. \""Cisco demonstrates great dexterity at Cisco Live San Diego 2025\"" was originally created and published by Verdict, a GlobalData owned brand.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 16, 2025 / After years in services and business development, Christopher Weiland charted a new path - applying his technology expertise to drive sustainability innovation at Cisco. Much like the trails he rides in the Colorado backcountry, Weiland is a trailblazer - helping shape new approaches to product circularity. Tell us about your journey in technology and the roles you've held at Cisco before moving into sustainability. Christopher: My interest in technology started early - in fact, I was regularly pulled out of middle school classes to troubleshoot issues in the school's computer lab. That interest and technical know-how led me to study industrial engineering, which set the foundation for roles at Microsoft, IBM, and eventually Cisco, which I joined in 2000. At Cisco, I focused on services and sales, doing some exciting work to help major service provider customers navigate complex networking solutions. After two decades, I began to think about the next phase of my career and started exploring how I could transition from a technology-focused role to one centered on sustainability. What did that exploration look like and how did you navigate a career shift within Cisco? Christopher: After having an amazing career in tech at Cisco, I was thrilled to realize that I could explore sustainability within the Cisco community. Initially, I thought I might need a master's degree in environmental science or that I might have to leave the company to chart a new path. But then I discovered a group of passionate Cisco employees who were supporting sustainability, spanning clean energy, supply chain and circularity - all exciting and impactful efforts. Product circularity in particular caught my attention as an area where my skillset could apply and where I thought I could make a contribution. So I really embraced Cisco's three E's for professional development - Exposure, Education, and Experience. I started reading, taking classes, and connecting with Cisco employees working in this field, even before we had our Chief Sustainability Office. Eventually that led to an opportunity for a stretch assignment and my first foray into sustainability-focused work at Cisco. I'm now focused on circularity - helping to maximize the lifespan of Cisco technology with better processes for product reuse and responsible recycling. Circularity is an important focus at Cisco. Can you explain what it means and why it's important? Christopher: Within Cisco's environmental sustainability strategy, the Plan for the Possible, one of our three priorities is evolving our business to a circular model. That means keeping products in use for as long as possible - through reuse, refurbishment, and responsible recycling. Circularity is all about extending the life of technology, reducing waste, and minimizing the need for new raw materials. We take a holistic approach, covering the entire product life cycle. First, we focus on circular design, which means improving product design for durability and reusability. And that's top to bottom - from the products themselves to the packaging they come in. Second, we're creating systems for efficient take-back and product redeployment, and third, we're developing offerings to support a circular economy. For example, with programs like Cisco Refresh, which sells certified remanufactured equipment, our goal is to enable our customers and partners to adopt circularity. It sounds like circularity is more than just product design - how do systems and processes play into scaling this effort? Christopher: Exactly. To scale circularity, we need more than just good product design. We need processes that support efficient take-back, recycling, and reuse. We're continuing to investigate ways to do that - gathering insights and exploring ways to develop a scalable approach. There's an opportunity for us to take an active role in product redeployment, supporting customers who are looking to Cisco to lead the way in product reuse and recycling. Sustainability at Cisco is a cross-functional practice. How has your prior experience working across teams applied? Christopher: Many of the skills I developed in my technical and sales roles - like collaborating across teams, aligning business needs with long-term strategy, and problem-solving - translate directly to sustainability initiatives. Sustainability at Cisco isn't confined to one team - it requires coordination across multiple business functions. It's a blend of technical expertise, operational strategy, and relationship-building. Your commitment to sustainability has been fueled by your passion for the outdoors. Can you share some of your adventures and what you've gained from those experiences? Christopher: I live in Denver, Colorado, and spending time in the natural world is an important part of my life. Skiing, hiking and biking all allow me to connect to nature - and explore my limits. I'm proud to note I competed in the Bailey Hundo four times - an amazing albeit dauting 100-mile mountain bike race with 10,000 feet of elevation gain. The Colorado Trail holds a special place in my heart - it runs parallel to the Continental Divide, passes through five wilderness areas, and is one of the country's only long-distance trails that allows bikes. I've bikepacked the entire trail - over 550 miles over the course of 20 days. But beyond the ride and the trail itself, what makes it even more meaningful is the story of how it was created by a group of people who were willing to dream. I'm incredibly inspired by Gudy Gaskill, the \""Mother of the Colorado Trail,\"" who led the all-volunteer effort to create this amazing wilderness route through sheer persistence. She rallied people around a shared vision and kept the project moving forward despite seemingly endless obstacles - physical and bureaucratic. In many ways, her story mirrors the work being done in sustainability - big change happens through long-term commitment and knocking down roadblocks, step by step. Whether it's building a wilderness trail along the rugged Continental Divide or shifting an industry toward circularity, it's about bringing people together, solving problems along the way, and staying focused on the long-term impact. What advice do you have for Cisco employees to get involved in sustainability? Christopher: A great way to get involved in sustainability at Cisco is by joining your regional Green Team - these are employee-led groups dedicated to supporting environmental initiatives. I'm active with the Denver Green Team, and it's been rewarding to see the local impact we can have. We've worked on a variety of volunteer projects and community initiatives, including working at an animal sanctuary, wetland remediation, and trail building. I also encourage anyone interested in sustainability to educate yourself on how Cisco is driving sustainability impact in our operations and for our customers. A great starting point is our Purpose Reporting Hub. There are insights into our Circular Design program, efficiency goals, and Cisco's circular offerings, like Cisco Refresh and our no-cost Takeback and Reuse program for end-of-use products. I often say these programs are Cisco's best kept secrets, and I encourage my colleagues to understand their benefits and to share them with our customers and partners. I'd also advise people to look at how their skills may transfer to new opportunities. You might be surprised how the skills you've developed in other parts of Cisco can pay dividends - whether in sustainability or another area of the business. What has your journey taught you about driving meaningful change within Cisco? Christopher: My journey at Cisco has shown me that career growth doesn't always mean leaving - sometimes, it's about uncovering new opportunities right where you are. I've also learned that sustainability, like career growth, is a space of constant evolution and opportunity. Cisco has the global reach, influence, and innovation capacity to drive meaningful progress in circularity. But what resonates with me most is that sustainability requires long-term thinking, persistence, and commitment - just like endurance cycling or trail building. Big change happens step by step, through dedication, collaboration, and a willingness to adapt along the way. View original content here.

Cisco Systems CSCO is expanding its lead in network security and intelligent infrastructure through an innovative portfolio. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the company reported product revenues of $10.37 billion, up 15% year over year, and accounted for more than 73% of total revenues. This growth was led by a 54% surge in Security products, 24% growth in Observability, 8% in Networking and 4% in Collaboration. The company\u2019s product ARR rose 8%, reflecting the growing adoption of software-based offerings and signaling a successful shift toward a more predictable, margin-rich revenue model. This strong performance highlights Cisco\u2019s ability to meet enterprise demand for secure, scalable and intelligent infrastructure solutions.

For children in underserved communities across Africa, education remains the surest path to a more secure future - and yet hunger inhibits learning and optimal development for a majority of the country's young people. It is much harder to learn on an empty stomach. Wawira Njiru, Founder and Executive Director of Food4Education, understood from the start that technology was key to scaling up her operation dramatically enough to meet the daily nutritional needs of hundreds of thousands of young learners. Her organization created a deeply tech-based solution to help eliminate hunger and ensure that school-going children have access to a healthy meal. Food4Education's innovative Tap2Eat system-a smart payment solution-ensures that children in Kenya receive nutritious meals at school. By using a wearable wristband linked to a mobile wallet, children can easily scan, eat, and focus on learning without worrying about hunger. Scaling up from 3,000 to over 500,000 meals served daily In 2018, Cisco awarded the Global Citizen Prize for Youth Leadership to Wawira to create and test this technology. At the time, the organization was feeding 3,000 children a day in Kenya. The funding enabled her organization to scale from feeding 3,000 children a day to 10,000 children a day while also developing their Tap2Eat app and platform. In 2022, we provided a technology grant of Webex, Meraki, and Cisco Umbrella technologies. Our technology enables Food4Education to collect and use data analytics to enhance their operations and offerings, mitigate cyber threats, and securely connect their operations, platform, and program offerings. We also provided a cash grant to enable further development and scaling of their program to support 100,000 children a day. Today, over 500,000 children can Tap2Eat lunch at school daily using the Tap2Eat mobile app and wristband. The wristband utilizes Near-Field Communication (NFC) technology to enable seamless transactions, ensuring students receive meals without the need for cash or physical contact. Sophisticated analytics and technology to optimize outcomes The system also verifies meal delivery to children and sends real-time data directly to Food4Education's operational dashboards. This system ensures accurate tracking of meal quantities and uptake, enabling predictive analytics and more effective meal planning for the future. Parents, philanthropy, and government all contribute to the cost of daily meals-keeping the program steady, scalable, and sustainable. The effectiveness of the solution is undeniable-and the children are getting nourished in more ways than one. As Wawira puts it, \""Every lunchtime, they'll just go tap, so it gives parents a very high level of visibility,\"" she said, \""but it also gives children a sense of ownership and a sense of excitement.\"" In schools that serve meals through Tap2Eat, truancy is almost zero. Academic performance is improving, and attendance has increased by up to 30% in many areas. Collaborating to achieve exponential impact Cisco's partnership with Food4Education, the innovative use of technology, and a dynamic business strategy based on community-centric solutions to longstanding challenges have helped the program grow and thrive. Food4Education is a social impact partner that embodies our shared values around basic nutrition and quality education for everyone, while also demonstrating the power of our incubator model for nonprofits. Through our unique approach, we scout for great ideas and dynamic founders, and then support their early-stage, tech-enabled concepts through implementation, validation, and scaling. For Cisco, funding great ideas is only the beginning. We bring the best of Cisco-our technology, our expertise, and our innovation-to the relationship. Setting our non-profit partners up for long term success and sustainability is always our goal. And it's a goal shared with Wawira and Food4Education-as she puts it: \""I could write a book about our wonderful relationship with Cisco!\"" She explains, \""Cisco has given us follow-on funding to improve our use of technology across the organization, from using Meraki across our operation, finding ways to connect all our devices that are used in Tap2Eat across a huge network of schools, to helping us in terms of our conferencing and our ability to communicate and collaborate better.\"" See the story in motion With Cisco's support, Food4Education is changing hundreds of thousands of lives every day-and counting-fostering the next generation of learners and preparing them to participate fully in the modern economy.

Dividend-paying networking giant Cisco is in the midst of a comeback. It's likely too early to give up on Target, a Dividend King in the retailing space. 10 stocks we like better than Realty Income › Numerous groups of investors place tremendous importance on dividend stocks. Since such stocks pay investors a specific amount, typically every quarter, some investors will buy and hold to receive the cash, even when the stock does not perform well in other respects. Fortunately, a poor stock performance can allow investors to buy at a lower valuation while simultaneously earning a higher return on the dividend, often one exceeding the S&P 500 average dividend yield of 1.3%. Additionally, many stocks fit this description, and these three names could present an opportunity to double up on positions, increase cash returns, and possibly benefit from stock price appreciation later. Realty Income (NYSE: O) is likely familiar to most investors even if they know nothing about this company. It owns more than 15,600 single-tenant commercial properties in the U.S. and eight other countries. The company has attracted numerous stable businesses to fill its buildings. Walmart, CVS, and AMC Theaters are among the companies that rent property from Realty Income. Also, since these are net lease deals, the client covers maintenance, property tax, and insurance costs, providing Realty Income with stable revenue streams. Despite continued growth, investors have soured on Realty Income in recent years as higher interest rates weighed on its profitability. Consequently, the stock has not returned to its highs from early 2020. Still, that pessimism helped raise the dividend. Shareholders receive monthly payouts of $0.269 per share, or nearly $3.23 per share annually. New buyers can earn a dividend yield of over 5.5%. That should increase as the company raised the dividend four times in just the last year and at least once a year since its inception in 1994. Realty Income stock trades at just 14 times its funds from operations income. That valuation, along with its generous dividend yield, should draw investors back to the stock regardless of what happens with interest rates. Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) has consistently stood out in the networking space, offering a range of products that include hardware, software, telecom equipment, cybersecurity platforms, and other tech-related products. It enjoyed a strong run during the dot-com boom of the late 1990s, so much so that the company briefly held the title of world's largest market cap in 2000. However, the dot-com bust and rising competition took their toll on the company's growth. With that, Cisco pivoted to dividends in 2011 and has increased the payout once yearly since that time. At an annual payout of $1.64 per share, it delivers a yield of just under 2.5%. Cisco's stock also seems to have benefited from artificial intelligence (AI). In the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (ended April 26), AI infrastructure orders topped $600 million, beating its forecast one quarter ahead of schedule. Amid its AI positioning, investors are returning to the stock, and it has risen by more than 40% in the last year. Also, it sells at 27 times earnings, a level near multiyear highs, though that valuation is still below the S&P 500 average of 29. Cisco is unlikely to regain the title of world's largest market cap. Still, with a rising dividend and a business bolstered by AI, it is well positioned to provide a generous, reliable stream of dividend income. Admittedly, Target (NYSE: TGT) may look like a company to avoid in today's market. It has suffered amid an uncertain economy, inventory challenges, and an ability to upset customers no matter what stance it takes on DEI. Consequently, people are not spending heavily at Target's nearly 2,000 stores. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025 (ended May 3), net sales fell 2.8% from year-ago levels. Sales only grew 0.1% in fiscal 2024, so its struggles are ongoing. As a result, its stock is down nearly 65% from its high in 2021. However, Target is a Dividend King with 54 years of consecutive dividend increases. Also, the stock's behavior has had a fortuitous effect on the dividend yield. At an annual payout of $4.56 per share, new shareholders can now earn a cash return of 4.7%. It is too early to count Target out, and not just because of the dividend. More than 75% of U.S. residents live within 10 miles of a Target, meaning it can leverage omnichannel retailing better than any competitor except for possibly Walmart. Its 10 P/E ratio likely incorporates the company's struggles into the stock price. Assuming Target leverages its market positioning to draw customers back to its stores, investors who buy now may be glad they took positions at the current valuation and dividend yield.

Additionally, the growing digitization of sectors like government, healthcare, legal services, and finance has further heightened the need to secure confidential data in transit. Request Sample Pages@ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestsampleNew.asp?id=182623205 Global regulations such as GDPR in Europe, HIPAA in the US, and other international data protection regulations are driving organizations worldwide to adopt strong encryption practices to avoid fines and legal consequences. Furthermore, businesses are prioritizing secure email communication among distributed and remote teams due to the increased attack surface created by the rapid adoption of cloud-based platforms and hybrid work environments. These factors have collectively resulted in significant investments in email encryption solutions worldwide. Based on vertical, healthcare sector to register highest CAGR during forecast period. There is a rapid growth in the adoption of email encryption in the healthcare sector, driven by the need to comply with stringent regulatory requirements, such as the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) in the US, particularly regarding patient data protection. According to HIPAA regulations, healthcare organizations in many countries, including the US, are required to safeguard patient health information, especially when transmitted via email. Moreover, healthcare organizations are increasingly investing in advanced encryption tools as cyber threats targeting health data rise, particularly given its high black-market value. Healthcare institutions worldwide aim to minimize the risk of data breaches, enhance the security of email communications, and avoid serious legal consequences. This heightened concern for safety and regulatory mandates fuels the rapid growth of email encryption within the healthcare sector. By deployment mode, on-premises segment to hold largest market size during forecast period. The on-premises deployment mode is expected to dominate the Email Encryption Market during the forecast period, mainly because it is extremely popular among government agencies and large businesses that prioritize complete control over their data security setup. These organizations often handle highly sensitive or regulated data, and due to concerns about data sovereignty, compliance, and breach risks, they are reluctant to rely on external cloud providers. By offering greater flexibility, interoperability with legacy systems, and protection against outside access, on-premises solutions allow enterprises to maintain direct control over encryption keys and security procedures. In sectors where strict data protection laws and internal security requirements prevail, such as defense, banking, and healthcare, this deployment strategy remains particularly favored. These factors drive the demand for on-premises deployment in the Email Encryption Market. Inquire Before Buying@ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Enquiry_Before_BuyingNew.asp?id=182623205 By region, Asia Pacific to register highest CAGR during forecast period. The Asia Pacific (APAC) region is witnessing the fastest growth in the Email Encryption Market due to the rapid digital transformation and a sharp increase in cyber threats. As per Abnormal Security's 2025 data, advanced email attacks have increased in countries like Japan, Singapore, India, and Australia, up almost 27% overall and over 30% in phishing alone, with a 37% spike in Japan and Singapore. Due to the strategic positions of these APAC countries in international trade, finance, and defense, they frequently become the focus of sophisticated and state-sponsored cyberattacks, such as targeted phishing and BEC. With traditional defenses proving inadequate, there is a rising demand for AI-powered email encryption solutions that offer real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis, and secure integration with mobile and cloud platforms. Further, with an increase in regulatory pressure and a rise in digital adoption, email encryption is becoming a strategic necessity across APAC.

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\u2019s 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\u2019s annualized recurring revenue (ARR), subscription-based income, and remaining performance obligations (RPO) showed healthy growth. Cisco\u2019s 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\u2019s 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.

Keep up by reading our FREE midday Barchart Brief newsletter for exclusive charts, analysis, and headlines. Moreover, a significant catalyst behind Cisco\u2019s 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\u2019 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s 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\u2019s history. Further, new security offerings like Secure Access, XDR, and Hypershield are gaining momentum, adding over 370 new customers in the quarter. Cisco\u2019s decent run over the past year reflects the company\u2019s 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 \u201cModerate Buy\u201d 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.

The company\u2019s top line is driven by steady momentum in Prime and AWS. A strengthening AWS services portfolio and its growing adoption rate contributed well to AWS performance. Ultrafast delivery services and expanding content portfolio were beneficial. Strengthening relationships with third-party sellers was a positive. Robust advertising business contributed well. Amazon\u2019s expanding global presence, growing capabilities in grocery, pharmacy, healthcare and autonomous driving are key positives. Deepening focus on GenAI is a major plus. The Zacks analyst expects 2025 net sales to increase 8.5% from 2024. However, Amazon announced mixed guidance for the second quarter. High tariffs imposed by President Trump on goods imported from China have cast uncertainty on retailers such as Amazon. AMZN's free cash flow has decreased significantly. (You can read the full research report on Amazon.com here >>>) Home Depot\u2019s shares have outperformed the Zacks Retail - Home Furnishings industry over the past year (+2.2% vs. -2.5%). The company\u2019s performance is supported by strong execution across key growth initiatives. Home Depot continues to benefit from its progress in building an interconnected shopping experience, synergies from the SRS acquisition, expansion of its Pro ecosystem, strategic digital investments, and new store openings. These factors contributed to robust top-line growth in the first quarter of fiscal 2025, driven by increased engagement in Spring-related purchases and smaller-scale home improvement projects. However, HD faces softer demand in big-ticket discretionary categories, reflecting consumer caution amid high interest rates. Margin pressure, currency headwinds, and macroeconomic uncertainty also remain key risks. HD is also navigating a complex global trade environment, with rising tariffs. (You can read the full research report on Home Depot here >>>) Shares of Cisco Systems have outperformed the Zacks Computer - Networking industry over the past year (+44.7% vs. +43.5%). The company\u2019s business model has evolved with subscription revenues accounting for more than half of its total revenues. Increases in recurring revenue bases bodes well for investors. Its Splunk acquisition enhances the recurring revenue base. The buyout significantly expands Cisco\u2019s portfolio of software-based solutions, contributing more than $4 billion in ARR and makes it one of the largest software companies in the world. The launch of AI-powered Hypershield, which combines security and networking, strengthened Cisco\u2019s security portfolio. However, it has been suffering from sluggish networking sales, primarily due to lackluster demand from telecommunication and cable services providers, as well as stiff competition. Cisco\u2019s prospects are further challenged in the AI-driven networking space due to stiffening competition. (You can read the full research report on Cisco Systems here >>>) United Homes\u2019 shares have underperformed the Zacks Real Estate - Development industry over the past year (-37.4% vs. -5.6%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $193.97 million is facing challenges which include persistent margin pressure, declining orders and execution risk tied to unproven strategies. Despite this, shares trade at deep discounts, suggesting an upside if execution improves. Nevertheless, United Homes is executing a strategic transformation focused on margin expansion and operational efficiency. A shift toward refreshed home designs, now yielding 24% gross margins, supports profitability and reduces reliance on discounting. UHG\u2019s pre-sale strategy improves margin visibility and working capital efficiency while rebidding efforts and faster build cycles enhances cost control. Though volume and margin remain under pressure amid soft demand, UHG is expanding into high-growth Southeastern markets, with a land-light model supporting disciplined capital returns. The recent debt refinancing improves liquidity and reduces dilution risk. (You can read the full research report on United Homes here >>>) Shares of Eastern have underperformed the Zacks Security and Safety Services industry over the past year (-1.3% vs. +6.3%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $142.05 million has risks like elevated SG&A amid restructuring, cyclical reliance on Class 8 OEMs, weak R&D investment, and recent negative cash flow due to working capital drag. Valuation remains attractive at 0.62X EV/S and 6.88X EV/EBITDA versus peers. Nevertheless, Eastern Company\u2019s performance is driven by Velvac\u2019s market share gains and operational enhancements in the Class 8 truck segment, including vertical integration and aftermarket expansion. Despite industry softness, Eastern sustains profitability, posting Q1 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million and net income of $2 million, with a gross margin of 22.4%. A leaner balance sheet and improved working capital reinforce financial flexibility. Strategic manufacturing footprints across the United States, Mexico, and China support tariff agility and local sourcing trends. Capital returns remain robust with a long-standing dividend and a new buyback program.

Increasing marketing efforts are also an upside. Xifaxan Boosts Bausch (BHC), Huge Debt Levels a Concern Per the Zacks analyst, Bausch maintains momentum on strong growth of Xifaxan and new drug approvals. However, the colossal debt level and delay in separation of eye health business is a headwind. nn New Downgrades Akamai (AKAM) Plagued by Demand Softness, Geopolitical Unrest Per the Zacks analyst, weakness in the delivery segment will likely hinder Akamai's top line. Growing geopolitical unrest in Europe and the Middle East can disrupt its operations. Mounting Expenses Irk Bruker (BRKR) Amid Tough Competition The Zacks analyst is worried about Bruker's escalating expenses that are putting pressure on the company's bottom line. Also, industry wide intense competition could adversely affect its performance.

Zacks Investment Research"", ""Better Tech Stock: Arista Networks vs. Cisco Systems Arista is growing rapidly as it dominates the cloud and hyperscale markets. Cisco\u2019s \u201cone stop shop\u201d to networking is still locking in plenty of enterprise customers. Both companies will benefit from the cloud and AI boom. 10 stocks we like better than Arista Networks \u203a Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) represent two different ways to invest in the networking infrastructure and software market. Arista is a smaller, higher-growth player focused on data centers and cloud-scale networks, while Cisco is the more diversified market leader serving a wider range of sectors. Over the past five years, Arista's stock rallied nearly 540% as Cisco's stock advanced about 50%. The S&P 500 rose more than 90% during that period. Let's see why Arista consistently outperformed its larger rival and the broader market, and if it's still the better buy. Cisco is the largest networking hardware company in the world, but it's known for locking its customers into its proprietary chips and software. It reinforces the stickiness of that ecosystem with its integrated security, cloud, and network observability services. Arista takes the opposite approach and primarily uses Broadcom's chips with its open source software and application programming interfaces (APIs). That flexibility makes it appealing to customers which don't want to get stuck in Cisco's walled garden. Arista's use of a single modular operating system, EOS, often makes it a simpler alternative to Cisco's fragmented ecosystem of different operating systems (including IOS, NX-OS, IOS XE). Arista's low-latency switches are also optimized for hyperscale cloud networks, which makes it a top choice for tech giants like Meta and Microsoft, while its CloudVision platform allows its clients to easily monitor and analyze their deployments. Arista might initially seem like an existential threat to Cisco, but Cisco remains the leader in end-to-end deployments which bundle together campus, branch, wide-area networking (WAN), and data center solutions. Cisco's integrated cybersecurity and collaboration features can also reduce the need for additional third-party services, while its proprietary chips are better optimized for its own hardware and software than third-party chips. In other words, Cisco is a \""one stop shop\"" for networking solutions, while Arista still mainly provides a narrower range of products and services for the cloud and data center markets. From fiscal 2019 to fiscal 2024 (which ended last July), Cisco's revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of less than 1% as its adjusted EPS rose at a CAGR of nearly 4%. During those five years, Cisco struggled with three major challenges. First, the pandemic reduced enterprise and campus orders and disrupted supply chains. Second, its supply chain problems dragged on after the pandemic ended. Lastly, its customers ramped up their orders again as it resolved those production issues in fiscal 2023, but rising rates and other macro headwinds throttled the actual deployments. As a result, customers ended up with too many uninstalled products and Cisco's orders slowed. As Cisco slogged through those challenges, it acquired Acacia Communications in 2021 to expand its portfolio of optical networking products. It also bought ThousandEyes in 2020 and Splunk in 2024 to expand its network observability services. Those acquisitions should diversify Cisco's business away from its core routers and switches. From 2019 to 2024, Arista's revenue rose at a CAGR of 24% as its adjusted net income rose at a CAGR of 30%. But during those five years, a stock split and rising stock-based compensation expenses reduced its adjusted EPS at a negative CAGR of 1%. Arista fared better than Cisco during the pandemic, because its core cloud and hyperscale customers continued growing through that crisis. Arista also experienced milder supply chain disruptions than Cisco, since Arista had a tighter portfolio and mainly relied on Broadcom for its chips, and it didn't suffer the same backlog issues as its supply chains normalized. Arista also made a few acquisitions over the past five years, including Awake Security in 2020 (to challenge Cisco in the security market) and the edge networking company Pluribus in 2023. Those deals weren't nearly as big as Cisco's, but they're gradually expanding Arista's ecosystem. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027, analysts expect Cisco's revenue and EPS to grow at a CAGR of 5% and 9%, respectively. That growth should be driven by the expansion of its subscription and services, AI tailwinds for its networking infrastructure business, rising demand for its security and observability services, and the normalization of its hardware backlog. That's a solid growth trajectory for a stock which trades at 17 times forward adjusted earnings while paying a forward dividend yield of 2.5%. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect Arista's revenue and EPS to increase at a CAGR of 19% and 15%, respectively. Arista should benefit from the growth of the cloud and AI markets, its expansion into the enterprise and campus markets to challenge Cisco, and the expansion of its integrated security services. That's a rosy outlook, but Arista's stock is a bit pricier at 33 times its forward adjusted earnings -- and it's never paid a dividend. Cisco and Arista are both promising long-term investments. But if I had to choose one, I'd stick with Arista because it's growing faster, it stock is still reasonably valued, and it's well-poised to disrupt Cisco over the long term.

Its Splunk acquisition enhances the recurring revenue base. The buyout significantly expands Cisco\u2019s portfolio of software-based solutions, contributing more than $4 billion in ARR and makes it one of the largest software companies in the world. The launch of AI-powered Hypershield, which combines security and networking, strengthened Cisco\u2019s security portfolio. However, it has been suffering from sluggish networking sales, primarily due to lackluster demand from telecommunication and cable services providers, as well as stiff competition. Cisco\u2019s prospects are further challenged in the AI-driven networking space due to stiffening competition. (You can read the full research report on Cisco Systems here >>>) United Homes\u2019 shares have underperformed the Zacks Real Estate - Development industry over the past year (-37.4% vs. -5.6%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $193.97 million is facing challenges which include persistent margin pressure, declining orders and execution risk tied to unproven strategies. Despite this, shares trade at deep discounts, suggesting an upside if execution improves. Nevertheless, United Homes is executing a strategic transformation focused on margin expansion and operational efficiency. A shift toward refreshed home designs, now yielding 24% gross margins, supports profitability and reduces reliance on discounting. UHG\u2019s pre-sale strategy improves margin visibility and working capital efficiency while rebidding efforts and faster build cycles enhances cost control. Though volume and margin remain under pressure amid soft demand, UHG is expanding into high-growth Southeastern markets, with a land-light model supporting disciplined capital returns. The recent debt refinancing improves liquidity and reduces dilution risk. (You can read the full research report on United Homes here >>>) Shares of Eastern have underperformed the Zacks Security and Safety Services industry over the past year (-1.3% vs. +6.3%). This microcap company with market capitalization of $142.05 million has risks like elevated SG&A amid restructuring, cyclical reliance on Class 8 OEMs, weak R&D investment, and recent negative cash flow due to working capital drag. Valuation remains attractive at 0.62X EV/S and 6.88X EV/EBITDA versus peers. Nevertheless, Eastern Company\u2019s performance is driven by Velvac\u2019s market share gains and operational enhancements in the Class 8 truck segment, including vertical integration and aftermarket expansion. Despite industry softness, Eastern sustains profitability, posting Q1 2025 adjusted EBITDA of $4.6 million and net income of $2 million, with a gross margin of 22.4%. A leaner balance sheet and improved working capital reinforce financial flexibility. Strategic manufacturing footprints across the United States, Mexico, and China support tariff agility and local sourcing trends. Capital returns remain robust with a long-standing dividend and a new buyback program.

Zacks Investment Research""]" CSCO,2025-06-25,67.85,68.525,67.78,68.19,"[""Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO): A Bull Case Theory We came across a bullish thesis on Cisco Systems, Inc. on Kroker Equity Research\u2019s Substack. In this article, we will summarize the bulls\u2019 thesis on CSCO. Cisco Systems, Inc.'s share was trading at $67.38 as of June 23rd. CSCO\u2019s trailing and forward P/E ratios were 27.50 and 16.84, respectively, according to Yahoo Finance. Engineers using the latest Cisco TelePresence technology to collaborate with colleagues around the world. Cisco Systems (CSCO) is undergoing a strategic transformation from a legacy hardware-centric firm to a modern software-driven, AI-enabled platform company. Its pivot is centered around high-margin, recurring-revenue streams in observability, cybersecurity, and AI infrastructure, accelerated by its $28 billion acquisition of Splunk. Splunk positions Cisco as a key player in full-stack observability and security, expanding its relevance in hybrid-cloud environments. AI momentum is also strong, with FY25 infrastructure orders surpassing $1 billion ahead of schedule, validating Cisco\u2019s role in powering the data center backbone for AI workloads through its Nexus switches, Silicon One chips, and partnerships with NVIDIA. Though Cisco still derives significant revenue from mature markets like routing and switching, these segments serve as a stable cash engine, funding its pivot. The company maintains a robust capital return profile, supported by strong free cash flow, with a 3% dividend yield and a newly authorized $15 billion buyback program. While Cisco is financially strong, the investment case is not without risk. Execution around Splunk integration, navigating macro headwinds, and staying competitive against cloud-native and hyperscaler threats will be crucial. Valuation-wise, Cisco trades around 15.6\u00d7 forward earnings, above historical averages but still discounted compared to high-growth tech peers. A DCF implies fair value in the low $50s, modestly below current levels, suggesting shares are fully valued unless growth meaningfully surprises. Still, with its shift toward software, strategic alignment with AI and security megatrends, and shareholder-friendly policies, Cisco offers an attractive long-term profile for investors seeking durable, cash-rich tech exposure with upside optionality if execution stays on track. Previously, we covered a bullish thesis on Cisco Systems, Inc. by Kroker Equity Research in May 2025, which highlighted its AI-led transformation, growing software revenues, and the Splunk acquisition. The stock appreciated by approximately 5.4% since. The thesis still stands as execution remains on track. Kroker Equity Research shares an identical view but emphasizes stronger AI traction and integration risks. Cisco Systems, Inc. is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 82 hedge fund portfolios held CSCO at the end of the first quarter, which was 84 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of CSCO as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Disclosure: None."", ""From Design To Impact: Circular Design Across Cisco's Product Life Cycle By David Stallings, Tom Jackson NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / June 25, 2025 / The following is an excerpt from our FY24 Purpose Report, celebrating 40 years of impact at Cisco. Data and metrics are reflective of Cisco's fiscal year 2024, ending on July 31, 2024. Circular design means designing products, packaging, and systems that enable reuse, minimize environmental impacts, drive innovation, and realize value for our stakeholders. We design our products and packaging with circularity in mind, aligning them to 25 Circular Design Principles organized across five focus areas. We developed a circular design evaluation methodology and web-based tool to help us track progress toward our circular design goal. Every new product and packaging design must be scored in the evaluation tool and achieve a score of at least 75% before its release to production. A score of 75% or higher represents substantial incorporation of our Circular Design Principles into our new products and packaging and counts toward our circular design goal. We formalized processes and dashboards to support and enforce the mandatory scoring requirement, resulting in all new designs released in fiscal 2024 being evaluated in the tool. Cisco's products are designed to convey our brand of quality and innovation. In fiscal 2024, Cisco updated the industrial design guidelines to incorporate brand requirements and Circular Design Principles, including guidelines such as avoiding the usage of solely cosmetic and nonfunctional plastic parts and optimizing the product packaging. In fiscal 2025, we will review the Circular Design Principles, methodology, and tool based on key learnings, stakeholder feedback, and external requirements, to identify opportunities to further our efforts. Pinnacle Awards A cross-functional team from Supply Chain and Engineering won the Sustainability Impact Award at the 2024 Cisco Pinnacle Awards, the highest recognition of product and engineering innovation at Cisco, for helping transform our company strategy and meaningfully accelerating Cisco and our customers toward key environmental sustainability goals. Assessing Our Products' Environmental Impacts A life cycle assessment (LCA) is used to model the environmental impacts of a product across multiple impact categories over the product life cycle, from cradle to grave. We use LCAs to quantify key environmental impacts of our products, identify hot spots for continuous product design and operational improvement, and opportunities to reduce resources used throughout our supply chain. In fiscal 2024, to address the need for LCAs across our product portfolio, we developed a scalable LCA model including environmental impact reports aligned to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 14040/44 standards. The intent of this model is to improve the quality and decrease the resource-intensiveness of performing LCAs. It can be used for most Cisco hardware products to address internal and external stakeholder interest. With the large number of products in our portfolio, we started by using this model for representative products across Cisco product families. In fiscal 2024, we published our first LCA report using the scalable LCA model.

(CSCO) and QUALCOMM Incorporated (QCOM). These funds provide traders with amplified, or inverse, exposure to CSCO or QCOM via the Direxion Daily CSCO Bull 2X ETF (Ticker: CSCL) and Direxion Daily CSCO Bear 1X ETF (Ticker: CSCS), or the Direxion Daily QCOM Bull 2X ETF (Ticker: QCMU) and Direxion Daily QCOM Bear 1X ETF (Ticker: QCMD). \""Cisco and Qualcomm are at the forefront of networking and wireless innovation, sectors that are integral to the digital economy,\"" said Douglas Yones, CEO of Direxion. \""By introducing these ETFs, we empower traders to capitalize on short-term movements in these pivotal technology stocks, reflecting our commitment to providing targeted tools for dynamic market engagement.\"" Designed for active traders, Direxion's pairs of Single Stock Leveraged & Inverse ETFs are built for short-term trading - not long-term investing. These ground-breaking trading tools are intended for experienced traders with a high risk tolerance. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these products track the price of a single stock rather than an index, offering no diversification benefits. All Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETFs are intended only for investors with an in-depth understanding of the risks associated with seeking leveraged investment results, and who plan to actively monitor and manage their positions. There is no guarantee these ETFs will meet their objective. Please visit the Direxion Leveraged and Inverse ETF Education Center, where you will find educational brochures, videos, and a self-paced online course to help you understand if Leveraged and Inverse ETFs - including Single Stock Daily LETFs - are right for you. About Direxion: Direxion equips investors who are driven by conviction with ETF solutions built for purpose and fine-tuned for precision. These solutions are available for a broad spectrum of investors, whether executing short-term tactical trades, or investing in thematic strategies. Direxion's reputation is founded on developing products that precisely express market perspectives and allow investors to manage their risk exposure. Founded in 1997, the company has approximately $40.7 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2025. For more information, please visit www.direxion.com. There is no guarantee that the Funds will achieve their investment objectives. For more information on all Direxion Shares ETFs, go to www.direxion.com, or call us at 866.301.9214. An investor should carefully consider a Fund's investment objective, risks, charges, and expenses before investing. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus contain this and other information about the Direxion Shares. To obtain a prospectus and summary prospectus call 866.476.7523 or visit our website at direxion.com. A Fund's prospectus and summary prospectus should be read carefully before investing. Investing in the funds involves a high degree of risk. Unlike traditional ETFs, or even other leveraged and/or inverse ETFs, these leveraged and/or inverse single-stock ETFs track the price of a single stock rather than an index, eliminating the benefits of diversification. Leveraged and inverse ETFs pursue daily leveraged investment objectives, which means they are riskier than alternatives which do not use leverage. They seek daily goals and should not be expected to track the underlying stock's performance over periods longer than one day. They are not suitable for all investors and should be utilized only by investors who understand leverage risk and who actively manage their investments. The Funds will lose money if the underlying stock's performance is flat, and it is possible that the Bull Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock's performance increases, and the Bear Fund will lose money even if the underlying stock's performance decreases, over a period longer than a single day. Investing in the Funds is not equivalent to investing directly in CSCO or QCOM. Direxion Shares Risks - An investment in a Fund involves risk, including the possible loss of principal. Each Fund is non-diversified and includes risks associated with a Fund concentrating its investments in a particular security, industry, sector, or geographic region which can result in increased volatility. A Fund's investments in derivatives such as futures contracts and swaps may pose risks in addition to, and greater than, those associated with directly investing in securities or other investments, including imperfect correlations with underlying investments or the Fund's other portfolio holdings, higher price volatility and lack of availability. As a result, the value of an investment in a Fund may change quickly and without warning. Leverage Risk - The Bull Fund obtains investment exposure in excess of its net assets by utilizing leverage and may lose more money in market conditions that are adverse to its investment objective than a fund that does not utilize leverage. A total loss may occur in a single day. Leverage will also have the effect of magnifying any differences in the Fund's correlation with CSCO or QCOM and may increase the volatility of the Bull Fund. Daily Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bull Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of correlation with CSCO or QCOM and therefore achieve its daily leveraged investment objective. The Bull Fund's exposure to CSCO or QCOM is impacted by CSCO or QCOM's movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bull Fund will be perfectly exposed to CSCO or QCOM at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bull Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to CSCO or QCOM increases on days when CSCO or QCOM is volatile near the close of the trading day. Daily Inverse Correlation Risk - A number of factors may affect the Bear Fund's ability to achieve a high degree of inverse correlation with CSCO or QCOM and therefore achieve its daily inverse investment objective. The Bear Fund's exposure to CSCO or QCOM is impacted by CSCO or QCOM's movement. Because of this, it is unlikely that the Bear Fund will be perfectly exposed to CSCO or QCOM at the end of each day. The possibility of the Bear Fund being materially over- or under-exposed to CSCO or QCOM increases on days when CSCO or QCOM is volatile near the close of the trading day. Cisco Systems, Inc. Investing Risk - Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. Cisco Systems, Inc. faces risks associated with: impacts on operations from various avenues; supply chain disruptions; volatility of sales to service providers and cloud markets; changes in distribution; high competition; need to manage strategic alliances; complexities of inventory management; changes in supply and demand for software subscriptions; reliance on new product development; among other risks. QUALCOMM Incorporated Investing Risk - Issuer-specific attributes may cause an investment held by the Fund to be more volatile than the market generally. The value of an individual security or particular type of security may be more volatile than the market as a whole and may perform differently from the value of the market as a whole. QCOM faces risks associated with: concentration of revenues amongst a small number of customers; vertical integration; concentration of business in China; requirements to grow the business and add new products and services; inability to profit from acquisitions and strategic transactions; limitations in supply chain and in demand for products and services; among other risks. Information Technology Sector Risk - The value of stocks of information technology companies, and companies that rely heavily on technology, is particularly vulnerable to rapid changes in technology product cycles, rapid product obsolescence, government regulation, and competition, both domestically and internationally, including competition from competitors with lower production costs. Semiconductor Industry Risk - Semiconductor companies may face intense competition, both domestically and internationally, and such competition may have an adverse effect on such companies' profit margins. Semiconductor companies may have limited product lines, markets, financial resources or personnel. Companies in the semiconductor industry may have products that face obsolescence due to rapid technological developments and frequent new product introduction, unpredictable changes in growth rates and competition for qualified personnel. Additional risks of each Fund include Effects of Compounding and Market Volatility Risk, Derivatives Risk, Counterparty Risk, Rebalancing Risk, Intra-Day Investment Risk, Industry Concentration Risk, Market Risk, Indirect Investment Risk, and Cash Transaction Risk. Additionally, for the Direxion Daily CSCO Bear 1X ETF and Direxion Daily QCOM Bear 1X ETF, Shorting or Inverse Risk. Please see the summary and full prospectuses for a more complete description of these and other risks of a Fund. Distributor: ALPS Distributors, Inc.

Cisco Systems CSCO hit a 52-week high of $67.49 on Wednesday. The stock has rallied 14.7% year over year, indicating strong investor confidence in the company\u2019s rising prospects. Cisco\u2019s rally has been supported by solid earnings results, strong gross and operating margin expansion and an upbeat outlook for the coming quarter. This momentum also reflects the company\u2019s aggressive push into AI, a consistent rollout of innovative products and overall operational strength. A major catalyst for Cisco\u2019s stock performance is its deepening involvement in AI-focused infrastructure. In its third-quarter fiscal 2025 results, the company announced that AI-related infrastructure orders exceeded $600 million, pushing the year-to-date total beyond $1 billion. These orders are coming from some of the biggest players in cloud computing, including Meta, and reflect a growing demand for AI-optimized networks. Beyond AI, Cisco is also seeing robust demand across its broader product portfolio. Networking product orders grew double-digits, driven by web-scale infrastructure, enterprise routing, switching and industrial IoT products. The company\u2019s innovation pipeline continues to accelerate, with deeper integration of security into its networking products. Security has become another key pillar of Cisco\u2019s strategy. The $28 billion acquisition of Splunk is already paying off, highlighted by a landmark deal with a major financial institution like Nvidia and Microsoft. Cisco also launched new products like Secure Access, XDR and Hypershield, which gained traction by adding over 370 new customers in the third quarter of fiscal 2025. Juniper Networks JNPR and Arista Networks ANET are intensifying competition in enterprise and cloud networking, challenging Cisco\u2019s long-held dominance with AI-driven innovation and infrastructure solutions. Juniper is unique in its high-performance routing, switching and integrated security, powered by its Junos OS and SDK for automation and extensibility. Juniper's Mist AI and Contrail platforms provide AI-powered, intent-based networking in multi-cloud environments. Competing directly with Cisco, Juniper serves the enterprise, cloud and service provider markets with a strong focus on agile, modular infrastructure and intelligent, scalable network solutions. Arista leads in AI and cloud networking, supplying high-performance Ethernet switches to hyperscalers like Microsoft and Meta Platforms. Arista\u2019s Linux-based EOS software offers advanced programmability and fault isolation, ideal for AI-intensive data centers. Backed by multi-hundred-gigabit innovations, Broadcom partnership and Ultra Ethernet Consortium involvement, Arista is projected to generate more than $750 million in backend AI networking revenues for 2025. Shares of Cisco have gained 14.7% year to date compared with the Zacks Computer \u2013 Networking industry\u2019s return of 13.5%. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, CSCO appears overvalued, trading at a forward 12-month price-to-sales ratio of 4.56, higher than the industry\u2019s 4.32X. Cisco carries a Value Score of D. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CSCO\u2019s fiscal 2025 and fiscal 2026 earnings is pegged at $3.79 and $4 per share, implying year-over-year growth of 1.61% and 5.63%, respectively.

Closing Date For Merger Still Unclear. HPE stock popped amid a proposed settlement of a Justice Department antitrust lawsuit aimed at blocking a merger with Juniper Networks."", ""Why Hewlett Packard Enterprise Stock Jumped Today HPE settled DOJ antitrust litigation over its $14 billion Juniper Networks acquisition, avoiding trial. The settlement requires HPE to divest its Instant On wireless business and license Juniper's Mist AI code. 10 stocks we like better than Hewlett Packard Enterprise \u203a Shares of Hewlett-Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) were up on Monday, finishing the day up 11.4%. The jump comes as the S&P 500 (SNPINDEX: ^GSPC) and Nasdaq Composite (NASDAQINDEX: ^IXIC) were both up 0.5%. The U.S. Department of Justice has settled a lawsuit against HPE for its $14 billion acquisition of Juniper Networks, avoiding the previously set July 9 trial. The settlement requires the company to divest its Instant On wireless networking business and to license the source code for one of Juniper's products, Mist AI. The DOJ initially sued in January, arguing the deal would stifle competition, leaving Cisco and HPE controlling over 70% of the U.S. networking equipment market. Juniper and HPE denied these claims, claiming the DOJ misrepresented market dynamics. The settlement now awaits a judge's approval to proceed. HPE's acquisition of Juniper was designed to enhance its artificial intelligence (AI) networking offerings and boost sales. Assuming the settlement is given the green light by the judge, I think HPE is in a solid position and could be a great addition to a balanced portfolio. While HPE's margins aren't great, management is actively working to correct this. The company is a mainstay in networking, and Juniper will help give it the edge it needs to succeed in AI. The stock is reasonably priced, with a price-to-earnings ratio (P/E) significantly less than its rival Cisco.

For over 30 years, we've partnered with India to shape our shared digital future, foster innovation, and build a workforce ready for tomorrow. But our impact goes far beyond business. Together, we've been working to empower communities and improve lives-and thanks to the ingenuity and diligence of our many non-profit collaborators, we've achieved something truly remarkable. Above and beyond: How a government mandate to give back become an inspiration to go further In 2013, when India implemented a law requiring companies to invest in corporate social responsibility (CSR) initiatives, Cisco saw an opportunity not just to meet the mandate, but to go above and beyond. In 2018, we set a bold goal: positively impact 50 million lives in India by 2025. When we connect the unconnected, we expand opportunity for all. Working closely with our non-profit partners, we didn't just meet that goal-we exceeded it, reaching this milestone in March 2025. (Grants made within India since 2015 are included in the total count.) This achievement reflects our ongoing dedication to powering an inclusive future for all. From opening our first office in India in 1995, to leading initiatives that empower millions today, Cisco's legacy in India coincides with the nation's growth as an emerging leader in innovation and technology. With nearly one billion internet users, the world's third-largest digital economy, and more than 70 percent of its younger generation aspiring to work in tech, it's safe to say India is firmly in its digital boom. In fact, just last year, Boston Consulting Group ranked India in the top 10 for AI readiness and second globally for AI specialists. A bold vision fueled by our people The Cisco India Purpose Office led the way, crafting a strategy that combined innovative technology with collaborative partnerships. Through initiatives like the India Cash Grant Program, we've been able to amplify our impact by supporting local non-profits that use technology to address critical needs like education, healthcare, crisis response, and economic empowerment. By aligning with government priorities and fostering collaboration in our grantmaking, we've created lasting change for a more inclusive and prosperous society. But our work didn't stop there. Cisco employees also played a key role-from mentoring our partners on cybersecurity to sharing expertise in business operations. Together, we've empowered these organizations with the resources, knowledge, and guidance they needed to grow and create lasting impact. Stories that inspire From enabling job readiness to transforming healthcare, here are some of the incredible initiatives rooted from our collaborative efforts: Indus Action: Bridging educational gaps Cisco's collaboration with Indus Action through the Eklavya project transforms education policy with tech-driven solutions. Supporting India's Right to Education Act, which makes education a fundamental right for children aged 6-14, Cisco's grant enhanced data collection systems-enabling efficient decision-making and policy execution for state governments, while positively impacting 500,000 people. NIIT Foundation: Empowerment through education Since 2017, Cisco and the NIIT Foundation have collaborated to champion education and empowerment through the Cyber Suraksha project (Suraksha means \""safety\"" in Hindi). From 2022 to today, this project has helped more than 1 million individuals-40% of them women-develop cybersecurity skills, and more than 7,000 participants secure cybersecurity roles. Quest Alliance: Building future-ready skills The Future Right Skills Network is a collaborative effort between Cisco, Accenture, SAP Labs, and J.P. Morgan, facilitated by Quest Alliance. So far, more than 300,000 students gained career skills across Industrial Training Institutes. In addition, over 26,000 students landed full-time jobs, and more than 1,500 trainers received support. The Piramal Swasthya Foundation: Revolutionizing healthcare delivery Cisco's partnership with Piramal Swasthya in the Niramay initiative is revolutionizing healthcare delivery in Assam, India. By integrating digital health technology, the collaboration enhances telemedicine, diagnostics, and patient record management, addressing vital healthcare needs in underserved areas.

The list, updated quarterly, reflects BofA\u2019s views on stocks with strong near-term catalysts amid a macro backdrop shaped by the Federal Reserve\u2019s steady policy stance, ongoing trade uncertainty, and expectations for rising inflation in the second half of the year. \u201cOur economists continue to see the Fed on hold in \u201825 and delivering 100bps of cuts in \u201826,\u201d BofA strategist Anthony Cassamassino said in a Tuesday note. The forecast reflects anticipated inflation pressures driven by tariffs, while the labor market may face headwinds from immigration restrictions and trade-related uncertainty, though it is not expected to weaken significantly. Against this backdrop, BofA highlighted 10 investment ideas for the U.S. market. 1) According to the bank, Boeing (NYSE:BA) is expected to benefit from recovering widebody aircraft demand and trade-related tailwinds. Cassamassino highlights a \u201c300 aircraft demand shortage\u201d and sees trade deals with countries like China and the U.K. as setting a precedent in Boeing\u2019s favor. 2) Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) is on the list as the network equipment maker continues to see momentum in AI infrastructure and enterprise networking. The company has already exceeded its $1 billion AI order target for full-year 2025 (FY25) and expects continued gains from its partnerships and security solutions. 3) Datadog (NASDAQ:DDOG) is BofA\u2019s top software pick, citing its \u201cdurable 20%+ revenue growth and 20%+ free cash flow (FCF) margins,\u201d as well as exposure to AI-native companies. The bank expects new products and strong execution to lift shares. 4) Fair Isaac (NYSE:FICO) remains a high-conviction call, driven by pricing power in its Scores business and potential upside from buybacks. \u201cFICO can continue to push price across its Scores division,\u201d the note says, with special price increases likely. 5) KeyCorp (NYSE:KEY) is picked for its attractive valuation, 5% dividend yield, and potential upside from U.S. capex recovery and bank M&A. BofA sees it as \u201camong the most compelling risk/reward in the super-regional bank space.\u201d 6) Another BofA\u2019s top pick for Q3 is Levi Strauss (NYSE:LEVI), backed by sales momentum, an improving wholesale channel, and minimal China exposure. BofA believes guidance may prove conservative and sees upside if the wholesale rebound continues. \u201cWe think LEVI checks a lot of positive boxes: sales momentum coupled with a conservative revenue outlook, minimal China risk (sourcing and sales), an improving wholesale trajectory, a diversified supply chain, and a strong balance sheet,\u201d Cassamassino wrote. 7) Meanwhile, Medtronic (NYSE:MDT) is seen as well-positioned for sequential growth led by its Pulse Field Ablation (PFA) and renal denervation segments. BofA\u2019s EP market model suggests \u201cover 100% upside to Street calendar 2026 EP estimates.\u201d 8) Warner Bros Discovery (NASDAQ:WBD) also makes its way to the list, as BofA believes the media and entertainment giant could unlock value through its announced corporate split. BofA values Streaming & Studios at up to $26/share and sees catalysts in \u201ctransaction structure\u201d and DC Universe relaunch. 9) Conagra Brands (NYSE:CAG) is one of the two Underperform-rated picks on this list, as margin pressure mounts from protein inflation and limited pricing power. BofA also warns of potential dividend risk \u201cgiven it has a targeted dividend payout ratio of 50-55% of net income and on our estimates this would approach 70% in FY26.\u201d 10) Hims Hers Health Inc (NYSE:HIMS) is the second Underperform pick. BofA flags litigation risk over compounded semaglutide and slowing core growth, saying the setup is unfavorable after \u201cmulti-month order shifts\u201d pushed out churn effects.

Management linked the quarter\u2019s performance to a surge in AI infrastructure orders, a rebound in networking and security products, and disciplined operational execution. CEO Chuck Robbins highlighted, \u201cWe received AI infrastructure orders from web-scale customers in excess of $600 million,\u201d noting this surpassed Cisco\u2019s initial annual target a quarter early.

Those are unscripted and can often highlight topics that management teams would rather avoid or topics where the answer is complicated. Here is what has caught our attention. Meta Marshall (Morgan Stanley) asked about customer buying behavior amid tariff uncertainty. CEO Chuck Robbins reported no broad-based pull-forward or delay, noting, \u201cWe haven\u2019t seen any customers really fundamentally slowing down.\u201d Tal Liani (Bank of America) questioned if 2025 could be a peak year for cloud capital spending. Robbins responded that global sovereign cloud projects and enterprise AI deployments suggest several years of sustained demand. Aaron Rakers (Wells Fargo) inquired about the scale of Middle East opportunities and the ramp of new data center switching products. Robbins clarified that recent AI orders did not include Saudi sovereign cloud deals, which are just beginning, and highlighted ongoing customer demand for G200 silicon-based systems. Matthew Niknam (Deutsche Bank) asked about Cisco\u2019s competitive position as hyperscalers transition from InfiniBand to Ethernet. Robbins credited Cisco\u2019s Silicon One technology and ability to deliver both systems and silicon as key differentiators winning share among the largest cloud providers. Amit Daryanani (Evercore ISI) pressed for clarity on AI order growth rates and margin guidance. Robbins cautioned that AI orders are \u201cnon-linear in nature,\u201d while CFO Scott Herren explained that tariff impacts were the primary reason for projected margin fluctuations next quarter. Looking ahead, the StockStory team will be monitoring (1) progress on sovereign cloud opportunities and execution of large-scale partnerships in regions like the Middle East, (2) adoption rates for new networking and security products such as WiFi 7 and Hypershield, and (3) Cisco\u2019s ability to manage tariff headwinds without eroding margins. Successful integration of Splunk and expansion of embedded security solutions will also be key signposts for the company\u2019s strategic execution.

Most Read from Bloomberg NYC Commutes Resume After Midtown Bus Terminal Crash Chaos Struggling Downtowns Are Looking to Lure New Crowds Massachusetts to Follow NYC in Making Landlords Pay Broker Fees What Gothenburg Got Out of Congestion Pricing California Exempts Building Projects From Environmental Law The AI company will rent additional capacity from Oracle totaling about 4.5 gigawatts of data center power in the US, according to people familiar with the work who asked not to be named discussing private information. That is an unprecedented sum of energy that could power millions of American homes. A gigawatt is akin to the capacity from one nuclear reactor and can provide electricity to roughly 750,000 houses. Earlier this week, Oracle announced that it had signed a single cloud deal worth $30 billion in annual revenue beginning in fiscal 2028 without naming the customer. This Stargate agreement makes up at least part of that disclosed contract, according to one of the people. Stargate \u2014 OpenAI\u2019s project with partners including Oracle and SoftBank Group Corp. to invest $500 billion in AI infrastructure \u2014 was first announced in January at the White House. So far, Oracle has developed a massive data center in Abilene, Texas, for OpenAI alongside development partner Crusoe. To meet the additional demand from OpenAI, Oracle will develop multiple data centers across the US with partners, the people said. Sites in states including Texas, Michigan, Wisconsin and Wyoming are under consideration, in addition to expanding the Abilene site from a current power capacity of 1.2 gigawatts to about 2 gigawatts, they said. OpenAI is also considering sites in New Mexico, Georgia, Ohio and Pennsylvania, one of the people said. These new projects will be part of Stargate, and details of the plans may still change, according to a person familiar with the plans. OpenAI and Crusoe declined to comment on the plans. Oracle didn\u2019t return a request for comment. Oracle shares climbed following the news and closed up 5% to $229.98, a record high. The stock has jumped 38% this year, fueled by investor enthusiasm for its cloud business. Oracle, known for its database software, has gained traction in the market for renting out computing power and storage over the internet, in part by targeting clients focused on AI work. This has led to a jump in revenue and expenses. The $30 billion deal is more than the current size of its entire cloud infrastructure business. Credit ratings firm S&P wrote Wednesday that Oracle\u2019s cloud infrastructure building spree was straining cash flow and that the current spending pace is higher than anticipated. Still, it viewed Oracle\u2019s cloud strategy favorably over the long term. OpenAI said in May it was helping develop a Stargate project in the United Arab Emirates with Oracle, Crusoe, AI chipmaker Nvidia Corp, Cisco Systems Inc. and G42, an AI company backed by the country\u2019s sovereign wealth fund. --With assistance from Josh Saul, Min Jeong Lee and Naureen S.

Datadog (DDOG) stock is in focus this morning, thanks to the news that it\u2019s set to join the benchmark S&P 500 Index ($SPX) effective July 9, replacing acquisition target Juniper Networks (JNPR). This marks a pivotal moment for the cloud observability leader, and the market's immediate response has been overwhelmingly positive, with DDOG stock surging approximately 8.7% in premarket trading. That puts DDOG on pace to break above its upper Bollinger Band, and would place the stock firmly in short-term overbought territory, based on its 14-day Relative Strength Index (RSI).

Our exclusive Barchart Brief newsletter is your FREE midday guide to what's moving stocks, sectors, and investor sentiment - delivered right when you need the info most. Subscribe today! Operating in a competitive cloud observability market valued between $2.9-8.56 billion, Datadog faces competition from established players like Elastic (ESTC), Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft (MSFT), and Cisco (CSCO). However, DDOG\u2019s selection for S&P 500 inclusion over other candidates like AppLovin (APP) and Robinhood (HOOD) suggests a strategic preference for companies focused on foundational enterprise technology and infrastructure management. The stock\u2019s new S&P 500 status is expected to drive considerable buying demand for Datadog shares, too, as index funds and ETFs will need to adjust their portfolios to maintain accurate benchmark representation. Datadog\u2019s market capitalization of $46.63 billion significantly exceeds the S&P 500's minimum threshold of $22.7 billion, validating its position among America's leading corporations. The company's strong financial performance underpins this status, as evidenced by its impressive Q1 2025 results - where DDOG reported revenue of $761.55 million, representing a 25% year-over-year increase. Datadog's success in securing larger enterprise deals is particularly noteworthy, with 11 contracts worth at least $10 million signed in Q1 2025, demonstrating growing adoption across major enterprises. Additionally, the company's strategic investments and recent partnership with Microsoft-backed OpenAI have strengthened its position in the cloud monitoring and security space, particularly through innovations like its Bits AI offering. This month\u2019s major S&P milestone not only validates Datadog's business model, but also signals the growing importance of software-defined infrastructure management in the modern economy. The timing is particularly significant, as it coincides with increasing enterprise adoption of cloud services and the company's strengthening position in agentic artificial intelligence (AI) trends, where autonomous systems operate without human intervention. Wedbush Securities has expressed increased confidence in Datadog's prospects by raising their price target to $170 from $140, citing the company's strong position in the observability space and elevated AI usage across its enterprise customer base. Analysts project significant margin improvement, with expectations for Datadog to reach 40% free cash flow margin by 2029, potentially driving substantial value creation. With AI and analytics budgets on the rise, Datadog's new go-to-market strategy is positioned to drive increased deal flow for cloud migration monitoring and digital transformation projects. Overall, Wall Street analysts rate DDOG stock a \u201cStrong Buy,\u201d although the shares are set to open today above their consensus price target of $140.57. Valued at a forward price/earnings-to-growth ratio of 3.02, investors should note that Datadog trades at a relatively steep premium - and with the stock looking overbought from a technical perspective, it could be somewhat risky to chase today\u2019s rally in DDOG.

Instead of billing hourly or monthly, Chaddha said AI-first companies could use event-based pricing\u2014charging per service delivered, such as a completed project or triggered event.

According to TechCrunch, Gruve acquired a $5 million managed services business and scaled it to $15 million in revenue within six months. The company uses outcome-based pricing, charging only when a security event occurs, and has reportedly achieved gross margins of around 80%.

The Social Impact Partner Spotlight series highlights various nonprofit organization partners that are leveraging technology to help transform the lives of individuals and communities. This blog features Splunk's partnership with OpenAQ, Radiant Earth, and WattTime, demonstrating their efforts to enhance data access and digital tools that support informed decision-making for a healthier planet. Data, artificial intelligence (AI), and digital tools can help uncover solutions to complex environmental challenges that can be implemented at scale for maximum impact. However, while much of the data exists, the datasets are enormous. That means that too often, nonprofits, governments, and other organizations aren't able to access the data in a searchable and usable way. In October 2024, Splunk was pleased to provide strategic grants to three nonprofits that are working to advance solutions for a sustainable planet: OpenAQ, Radiant Earth, and WattTime. While each has a distinctive history and approach, they share a commitment to increasing data access and providing digital tools to support better decision-making that will have a positive and lasting impact on our world. Empowering a global community to improve air quality OpenAQ is an environmental tech nonprofit focused on increasing access to air quality data to help communities take action to pursue clean air initiatives. Its story started ten years ago when founder Christa Hasenkopf was a State Department scientist working to compile data on air quality at embassies. She quickly learned that data was either nonexistent or not openly available, and when existent, it was challenging to access and not standardized. Christa and her spouse, Joe Flasher, who worked at an engineering company that applies energy and environmental data to global challenges, knew open data was crucial in educating people on the severity of air pollution. They envisioned a universally accessible, open-source database of air quality data, and when they couldn't find one, they set out to build one. Today, Open AQ's open-source, open-access data platform is the largest such platform in the world. It aggregates real-time air quality measurements from thousands of monitoring stations worldwide, harmonizing the data for consistency, focusing on core air pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, NO2, SO2, CO and ozone. That data empowers communities to analyze and forecast air quality, raise awareness among the public, and develop solutions to combat air pollution. Users include scientists, journalists, government agencies, entrepreneurs and NGOs, united by a common goal: supporting a world where everyone breathes healthy air. Making environmental data readily available to more people Founded in 2016, Radiant Earth enables data-driven decision making to address challenges related to sustainability and conservation. By providing a platform and resources for accessing and utilizing satellite imagery and geospatial data, Radiant Earth is making environmental data more accessible to help governments, research institutions, and civil society organizations address complex global challenges. One example of this is their work organizing the Cloud-Native Geospatial Forum, which brings geospatial data users together from across government, industry, and academia to develop open and more accessible methods for working with Earth science data over the Internet - including satellite imagery, weather data, and climate models - which can provide vital insights for applications like crop mapping, forest monitoring, and urban planning. This approach is designed specifically to empower researchers in developing countries to access and analyze data that was previously only accessible to research institutions with powerful compute infrastructure. Creating tools that boost energy efficiency and reduce emissions What if three simple fixes could save 9+ gigatons of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions annually: changing when we use energy, where we build new clean energy sources and which suppliers we procure from? WattTime is developing innovative data-driven solutions that allow individuals, companies, and governments to make informed energy choices, enhancing energy efficiency and reducing emissions. WattTime uses real-time electricity grid data to determine the emissions impact of using electricity at any given moment. Founded by UC Berkeley researchers, its tools pinpoint the emissions from generators operating to meet electricity demand, combining this information with forecasting techniques to predict when energy has the lowest GHG emissions. It transforms that data into actionable signals that can automatically adjust the timing of energy use, shared with partners through an API. Those signals can be used to optimize smart devices like electric vehicles, thermostats and water heaters to use electricity at lower-emission times, with slight timing shifts adding up to significant reductions in emissions. Similarly, it can help assess where building new clean energy sources could have the greatest impact on reducing power grid emissions. That helps increase the adoption of clean energy sources, benefiting both people and our planet.

The round was led by Index and joined by Bessemer Venture Partners, with participation from members of the founding teams at Wiz as well as executives from Zscaler, Crowdstrike, Confluent, and Cisco. For years, cloud giants like Snowflake, Databricks, Microsoft, and Google have made billions by offering enterprises an easy way to store and analyze data, as long as that data stays within their platforms. But that convenience came at a hidden cost: soaring expenses, rigid infrastructure, and deep vendor lock-in that slowed innovation and made AI adoption harder. Still, many companies remain stuck in outdated systems, deterred by the complexity of managing their data independently. Ryft disrupts this model by offering a fully managed data platform, built for Apache Iceberg\u2122 (the open-source standard for modern data lakes), without compromising ownership or flexibility. It takes care of the hardest parts of owning your data: optimization, compliance, disaster recovery, and governance, so your team can focus on building, not babysitting infrastructure. In the age of AI, data isn't just a resource; it's the engine of innovation, speed, and competitive advantage. To stay ahead, enterprises need infrastructure that's as dynamic as the systems they're building: agile, adaptable, and fully under their control. \""Enterprises want to innovate faster, move with confidence, and build the right foundation for AI, without sinking time and resources into complex infrastructure. Otherwise, they'll fall behind,\"" said Yossi Reitblat, Ryft's co-founder and CEO. \""Ryft makes it possible for any company to own, govern, and optimize their data with the same ease they've come to expect from external vendors, only now, it's fully in their hands.\"" \""Ryft is tackling one of the toughest challenges in data infrastructure today - giving teams control over their data without sacrificing ease of use,\""said Juriaan Duizendstraal, partner at Index. \""By building on Apache Iceberg, they've created a platform that eliminates vendor lock-in, simplifies data stacks, and enables AI adoption for enterprises. From our first meeting, the team's energy, clarity of thought, and ambition stood out. Yossi, Yuval, and Guy are not just building a company; they're shaping an entire category.

Based on market valuations,* this vast global portfolio of spaces using WELL is estimated to represent over $2 trillion in assets managed, a conservative estimate of gross asset value. \""This milestone reflects a new paradigm: prioritizing health isn't a cost, it's a catalyst,\"" said IWBI President and CEO Rachel Hodgdon. \""Because of WELL's relentless focus on people and their well-being, WELL projects serve as engines for better health outcomes, stronger financial returns and higher-performing people. That's why we're seeing the market embrace WELL like never before. Six billion square feet is not only 13 times more than the office space in Los Angeles, it's just shy of the total commercial space of the United Kingdom. The current scale of WELL-spanning nearly 100,000 locations, 137 countries and representing roughly $2 trillion in assets-is staggering, and the pace of adoption is equally extraordinary.\"" Since the launch of WELL in 2014, thousands of organizations have adopted WELL as an evidence-based roadmap for applying health strategies in their locations, across their organizations and in their communities. Major companies and brands are engaging with IWBI's WELL at scale program, extending the benefits of WELL across their entire organizations or real estate portfolios while supporting business performance and reporting, including, among others: A&O Shearman, AON, Atenor Group SA, Barclays, Bloomberg, Brookfield (Australia), Brookfield (India), Cadillac Fairview, Capital Land, Castellum, Cbus Property, Charter Hall, Cisco, Citi, Clifford Chance, CMS, Deloitte, DPR Construction, EDGE Technologies, Embassy REIT, Empire State Realty Trust, Enel, EY, Genentech, GMP Property, GSK, HB Reavis, Investa, JLL, Johnson Controls, JPMC, Landsec, Lendlease, Lincoln Property, Majid al Futtaim, Mapletree Project, MDC General Services Holding Company LLC, MSD, NEOM, NEO Office Fund, Prestige, PwC Italy, RBC, Resorts World Sentosa, Rudin, Sanofi, SAP, Standard Bank, Standard Chartered Bank, Sunrise Senior Living, Swire Properties Management Limited, Tata Realty, Teknion, T-Mobile, Uber, Warner Brothers Discovery and WTW. \""The numbers are clear: WELL is transforming the state of commercial real estate worldwide and generating economic impacts that touch millions of people's lives by supporting their physical and mental health and well-being in meaningful and measurable ways,\"" said IWBI COO Prateek Khanna. \""By promoting health, comfort and community, by monitoring building performance through air quality, water quality and lighting, and creating spaces that enable people to thrive, WELL is driving global market transformation.\"" Companies everywhere are now paying close attention to creating environments that support both physical and mental well-being, especially as a way to enhance engagement and attract top talent. By prioritizing health and well-being, WELL Certified projects show significantly stronger performance across a range of people-centered outcomes, from improved physical and mental health to a series of market-differentiating advantages, like productivity and workplace satisfaction. WELL is the only certification program backed by multiple independent, peer-reviewed studies proving it delivers measurable health benefits and outperforms conventional buildings and green certified buildings alike on the factors that matter most to people, like indoor air quality, thermal comfort, lighting and overall well-being and satisfaction. A Building and Environment study found that occupants in WELL Certified spaces reported a 28% improvement in overall workplace satisfaction, a 10-point increase in productivity scores and improvements in their health and well-being. Another study published in Building & Environment in 2023 found organizations that achieved WELL Certification experienced higher-performing workplaces than their non-certified peers. Respondents in WELL offices were, for example, 18% more satisfied with access to sunlight, 11% more satisfied with thermal comfort, and 10% more satisfied with both indoor air quality and air movement. Buildings with healthy building certifications also earn rent premiums between 4.4% and 7.7% more per square foot as well as longer lease terms, indicating that buildings that support tenant health and well-being generate greater demand and rent premiums. \""Organizations that excel on matters related to the health, well-being and performance of their workforce are poised to see a significantly positive impact on their bottom line. We know that employees who are healthy, engaged, valued and thriving miss work less often, have lower healthcare costs, are less likely to turn over and are more productive,\"" added Hodgdon. IWBI, the global authority for advancing healthy buildings, organizations and communities, delivered the milestone announcement at its second annual Social Sustainability Summit in Amsterdam, which convened leaders from the corporate, real estate, policy and finance sectors to explore how social sustainability is driving corporate strategy and delivering long-term value. The summit aimed to shed light on key stakeholder groups and how businesses are prioritizing governance, innovation and collaboration to create meaningful impact. Featured topics included \""Driving performance in real estate\"" and \""Investing in health pays back.\"" \""From an investor perspective, organizations that take good care of their workforce and extend that care to their value chain workers, their impacted communities and their end users are not simply less risky investments, they can be winning investment opportunities,\"" said Hodgdon at the event. \""More and more, institutional investors are leveraging critical data derived from the implementation of WELL's health strategies to reduce risk, improve returns and increase value.\"" WELL is now the third most used certification platform within the GRESB real estate assessment, representing 9% of total certified and rated floor area. Since the end of 2024, WELL has also been incorporated in 12 different types of financial instruments-including green bonds, social bonds and sustainability-linked bonds and loans-and featured in sustainable finance frameworks, regulatory guides, reports and case studies in 24 countries, spanning five continents. Developed over 10 years and backed by the latest scientific research, WELL outlines key building-level interventions and organizational strategies across 10 categories: Air, Water, Nourishment, Light, Movement, Thermal Comfort, Sound, Materials, Mind and Community. The WELL ecosystem, which comprises WELL Certification, the WELL Health-Safety Rating, the WELL Performance Rating, the WELL Equity Rating, the WELL Coworking Rating, the WELL Community Standard and the WELL for residential pilot, has been adopted by organizations seeking to prioritize human health and well-being. WELL's holistic, evidence-based approach has provided a roadmap for organizations to create and certify spaces that advance human health and well-being. The network of WELL champions spans more than 28,000 credentialed and registered WELL APs, over 300 WELL Faculty and more than 30 WELL Enterprise Providers (WELL EPs) - all united by the commitment to advance health across buildings, organizations and communities. What some members of IWBI's Governance Council are saying: \""For leading organizations aiming to retain and attract top talent, enhance employee satisfaction and boost productivity, WELL has become the go-to tool-adopted around the world, integrated across building portfolios and embedded in organizational policies,\"" said Yasushi Kinoshita, Representative Member, Eminence Partners G.K.; Chair, Green Building Japan; and IWBI Governance Council member. \""As WELL hits this global milestone, what's clear is that employers around the world now fully realize the link between health, performance and organizational success.\"" \""Through my many years of work focused on workplace well-being and performance, I've come to understand how profoundly people interact with their buildings-both consciously and unconsciously. Whether it's comfort of their workspace, the temperature of the room, the quality of the air they breathe, or the lighting that supports (or hinders) their work, these factors shape daily experience in significant ways,\"" said Ali Khan, CEO of SHAPE Global and IWBI Governance Council member. \""This is exactly where WELL shines. And the fact that WELL has hit this global adoption milestone only reinforces what we're seeing firsthand: employees in WELL projects feel better supported and genuinely empowered because of both the design of their space and the values of the organization in advancing health and performance-focused improvements.\"" \""WELL's exponential global growth is unfolding alongside a deepening interest from the investment community who increasingly want to understand how organizations are investing in health and well-being-across portfolios, policies and people,\"" said Dr. Tauni Lanier, Director, Sustainability and Economic Growth, BDO, and IWBI Governance Council member. \""These investors are asking for this information for a reason: because investments in health and well-being serve as powerful indicators of long-term financial performance and resilience. This pattern creates a positive feedback loop, where deploying WELL not only supports organizational goals but signals to investors that a company is future-ready, resilient and committed to the creativity and culture that drives lasting value.\"" *Calculation is based on a conservative per-square-foot global average, accounting for increased value of properties that implement healthy building strategies and certifications, and higher quality of locations in key urban markets.

The company is developing tools and security systems to facilitate enterprise adoption of AI. According to Cisco\u2019s internal research, 97% of CEOs say they\u2019re optimistic about AI, but just 1.7% feel prepared to implement it. That gap comes down to three core hurdles: inadequate infrastructure, security concerns, and a shortage of skilled workers. Patel says the company sees massive potential, but real bottlenecks. \u201cThere\u2019s such a huge demand for people that actually are dextrous with the use of AI to be hired,\u201d he added. Some infrastructure challenges are tied to the ways AI is changing software engineering. Applications used to behave in a consistent manner. But large language models, the engine behind AI chatbots, can act out in unpredictable ways. \u201cModels are non-deterministic,\u201d Patel explained. \u201cThat means they can hallucinate.\u201d Cisco is offering solutions with built-in security, behavioral monitoring, input validation, and usage guardrails, with the goal of making AI secure enough for scalable adoption. \u201cIf people can\u2019t trust AI, they won\u2019t use it,\u201d Patel said. To stay ahead of the AI curve, Cisco has expanded its partnerships, working with companies like OpenAI (OPAI.PVT), Anthropic (ANTH.PVT), Nvidia (NVDA), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD). Patel said Cisco\u2019s stock, up over 49% in the last year, reflects growing confidence in its AI strategy. \u201cThere\u2019s going to be trillions of dollars spent on AI infrastructure,\u201d he said. \u201cThe data centers of yesterday won\u2019t cut it.\u201d The winner of the AI race will secure economic and national security dominance, he added.

Moreover, Cisco\u2019s expanded partnership with NVIDIA, under which the companies plan to offer solutions that help build AI-ready data center networks, is a game changer. Cisco\u2019s security business is benefiting from strong demand for both Cisco Secure Access, Hypershield and XDR. On a combined basis, these solutions added more than 370 customers in the fiscal third quarter. The acquisition of Snap Attack enhances Splunk\u2019s capability. Expanding security portfolio is positive. Cisco\u2019s latest Duo Identity and Access Management (IAM) solution helps enterprises fight continuing identity-based attacks. Duo IAM strengthens Cisco\u2019s approach to user-friendly Zero Trust security. In June, the company announced enhanced security solutions embedded deep into its networking infrastructure, which will help companies implement zero-trust architectures. Cisco\u2019s Hybrid Mesh Firewall and Universal Zero Trust Network Access solutions simplify policy management, enhance visibility and enable enterprises to scale securely. Dell Technologies\u2019 PowerEdge XE9680L AI-optimized server is in high demand. Strong enterprise demand for AI-optimized servers is aiding the company. DELL shipped $1.8 billion worth of AI servers in the fiscal first quarter, and the AI server backlog remained healthy at $14.4 billion. Apart from AI servers, Dell Technologies is expanding its footprint in cloud computing.

As of 30\u1d57\u02b0 June, Credo Technology Group's share was trading at $93.49. CRDO's trailing and forward P/E were 319.28 and 120.25 respectively according to Yahoo Finance. A diverse team of data scientists working collaboratively on sophisticated software applications. Credo Technology Group (CRDO) is transitioning from a connectivity 'plumber' to an intelligent platform provider, similar to Cisco's transformation in the 1990s. The company's 'Pilot' software platform provides predictive integrity, link optimization, and telemetry, making its hardware more intelligent and valuable. This shift is driven by the increasing demand for efficient and reliable AI infrastructure, as AI clusters require flawless, low-latency communication between thousands of GPUs. The market currently values Credo as a high-growth semiconductor provider, but the company's platform transformation has the potential to lead to a significant re-rating. The 'Pilot' platform creates operational lock-in, making it difficult for customers to replace Credo's integrated solution. The company's financial ambitions, including a sustainable ~40% non-GAAP net margin target, are aggressive for a hardware vendor but plausible with a platform approach. The potential for continuous value creation and deeper customer engagement is substantial, with a bull case scenario envisioning a 4-5x return by 2028. The bull case scenario involves a market realization of Credo's platform shift, leading to a re-rating as a critical AI infrastructure platform provider, with revenue reaching $3-4 billion and net margins expanding to 50%+. Whereas the bear case scenario involves the platform failing to gain traction, with revenue growth slowing and margins compressing. Investors who recognize the emerging software and intelligence layer may capture significant upside as this transformation unfolds. Investors who recognize the deeper potential\u2014seeing Credo as a company developing the \u201ciOS for AI data fabrics\u201d\u2014and understand the emerging software and intelligence layer may be best positioned to benefit from the substantial upside as this transformation progresses. Previously we covered a bullish thesis on Credo Technology Group by Deep Value Returns in May 2025, which highlighted the company\u2019s strong recovery from earlier volatility and argued for a patient, long-term investment strategy despite high valuation multiples. The company\u2019s stock price has appreciated approximately 47% since our coverage. This is because investors began pricing in its AI-driven growth narrative. Nikhs shares an identical view but emphasizes Credo\u2019s transformation into an intelligent infrastructure platform through its Pilot software. CRDO isn't on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. While we acknowledge the risk and potential of CRDO as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.

Browse in-depth TOC on 'Physical Security Market' 525 \u2013 Tables 57 \u2013 Figures 419 \u2013 Pages Download PDF Brochure @ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/pdfdownloadNew.asp?id=1014 Scope of the Report The rise in security breaches and malicious attacks in areas like transportation, healthcare, government, and commercial buildings is increasing the need for stronger physical security. Organizations are now focusing on real-time protection, from controlling access to preventing threats across their facilities. The threat landscape is becoming more complex, with attackers using a combination of physical intrusions and cyber techniques, along with insider threats, unauthorized drone activity, and coordinated break-ins at sensitive locations like hospitals and airports. To address these risks, businesses are investing in modern solutions such as integrated access control systems, smart sensors, and AI-powered surveillance that enhance safety without disrupting operations. Request Sample Pages@ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestsampleNew.asp?id=1014 Based on offering, the video surveillance segment will account for the largest market size during the forecast period. Expanding needs for real-time monitoring, crime prevention, and upgrading public safety across commercial, government, and infrastructure sectors are driving demand for video surveillance systems. New IP cameras, high-definition CCTVs, and video analytics now provide functionality much more advanced than mere recording, like providing actionable insight in the form of motion detection, face recognition, and behavioral analysis. Integrated into smart infrastructure, these solutions provide real-time awareness of vehicles, machinery, and building perimeters. With increasing security threats and operational intelligence moving to the center stage, deployment is increasingly taking place in high-risk locations such as banks, malls, transportation centers, and public spaces. Despite advancements in smart and data-driven technologies, video surveillance still remains a vital component in preventing security incidents and enhancing proactive threat management across sectors. By organization size, the large enterprises segment will account for a larger market size during the forecast period. With expansive assets and complex infrastructure, large-sized businesses are more vulnerable to physical attacks, driving their strong reliance on advancing their physical security systems. To address these vulnerabilities, such as unauthorized access to data centers, insider threats, theft of valuable equipment, tampering with operational systems, or targeted attacks on executive facilities, large enterprises demand integrated physical security frameworks that combine deterrence, detection, and rapid response capabilities. Large enterprises typically allocate high budgets for security, enabling them to deploy integrated solutions powered by AI, IoT, and real-time analytics. Moreover, the need to meet regulatory requirements and protect brand reputation further drives their investment in robust, enterprise-grade physical security systems. By region, Asia Pacific will grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The growth of physical security in Asia Pacific is influenced by increasing urbanization, rising infrastructure development, and heightened concerns over public and private safety. Also, the growing investments in smart city projects and mass transit systems are further expected to fuel the demand for advanced surveillance and access control systems in the region. Rising incidents of crime and terrorism across Asia Pacific are prompting governments and businesses to strengthen their physical security infrastructure. This is driving the adoption of smart surveillance, real-time monitoring, and deterrence to enhance safety and reduce potential risks. Moreover, supportive government policies such as India's Smart Cities Mission, China's Safe City initiatives, and Japan's emphasis on disaster resilience, alongside expanding industrial and commercial sectors, are further accelerating the adoption of physical security solutions in the region.

This statement comes as new research reveals significant readiness challenges across enterprise networks. \""The convergence of AI and networking represents one of the most significant shifts we've seen in enterprise IT,\"" said Brian McGahan, 4x CCIE and Director of Networking Content at INE. \""What many organizations don't realize is that successful AI implementations depend fundamentally on solid networking foundations. The protocols, architectures, and automation skills that we've been teaching for years are exactly what enterprises need to support AI workloads effectively.\"" A recent survey by Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) of 269 North American IT professionals found: Only 49% of respondents believe their data center networks are ready for AI traffic 48% believe their wide area networks are fully prepared for AI traffic. 74% of surveyed organizations have at least some AI applications in production. The EMA study reveals that the top business challenges to networking for AI are: Security risk (39%) Budget issues (34%) Difficulties with keeping up the pace of AI innovation (33%) Addressing the Skills Crisis The skills shortage presents a dual challenge for IT leaders: attracting new talent while upskilling existing teams. Industry analysts project a significant shortage of AI-skilled workers, with McKinsey & Co. projecting that demand will outpace supply by two-to-four times through at least 2027. Meanwhile, 53% of organizations report skills gaps in managing specialized computing infrastructure, creating pressure on training budgets and employee retention strategies. For IT decision-makers, this translates to direct business impact. The EMA study found that the top business concerns around AI networking include security risk (39%), budget constraints (34%), and difficulties keeping pace with rapid technology evolution (33%). Organizations struggling with these challenges face delayed AI implementations, increased security vulnerabilities, and competitive disadvantage. According to Shamus McGillicuddy, vice president of research for network infrastructure and operations at EMA, \""Networks will make or break enterprise investments in AI technology. IT organizations are well-aware of this fact. However, preparing networks for AI will be expensive and complex.\"" Centers of Excellence Drive Strategic Alignment A growing number of companies are establishing AI centers of excellence to lead strategy across technical teams and business units. These organizations recognize that successful AI implementation requires coordination between networking, security, application development, and business stakeholders. \""Centers of excellence represent a best practice approach to AI adoption,\"" McGahan explained. \""However, these teams are only as effective as the technical expertise they can draw upon. Having networking professionals who understand both traditional enterprise requirements and AI-specific needs is essential for these initiatives to succeed.\"" McGahan points out that AI workloads behave fundamentally differently from traditional enterprise applications. They require east-west bandwidth for model training, ultra-low latency for inference operations, and sophisticated traffic management for distributed AI workloads. \u201cMany networking professionals haven't encountered these requirements before,\u201d McGahan says. Strategic Workforce Development Over Technology Chasing The research reveals a critical insight for IT leaders: organizations that hired networking experts with deep technical foundations reported more success than those focused solely on AI-specific training. This finding validates a cost-effective approach to workforce development that builds lasting capabilities rather than chasing technology trends. \""IT training budgets are under pressure, and leaders need strategies that deliver sustained value,\"" McGahan explained. \""Investing in foundational networking expertise creates teams that can adapt to any technological shift \u2013 whether it's today's AI requirements, tomorrow's quantum networking, or technologies we haven't even imagined yet. Our IT training programs build the analytical thinking and technical depth that make professionals valuable across their entire careers.\"" INE is developing targeted training programs to address these specific challenges, building on its established leadership in advanced networking education, including: AI Infrastructure Networking: Covering specialized protocols like RoCE (RDMA over Converged Ethernet) and NVMe over Fabrics High-Speed Ethernet Technologies: Training on 800 GbE implementations and optimization Network Automation for AI: Programming and orchestration skills for dynamic AI workload management Software-Defined Networking (SDN): Critical for the flexibility required in AI environments \""We're seeing a growing demand for training in areas like InfiniBand, GPU interconnects, and AI-optimized network fabrics,\"" McGahan noted. \""Our hands-on lab platform allows networking professionals to gain practical experience with technologies they'll encounter in production AI environments. For IT leaders, this isn't just about training \u2013 it's about risk management.\"" Industry-Leading Expertise INE's approach leverages the expertise of world-class instructors, including McGahan, who achieved CCIE Lifetime Emeritus status in 2022 after earning four CCIE certifications. The company has trained tens of thousands of networking professionals globally and maintains partnerships with leading technology vendors. \""We're not just teaching theoretical concepts,\"" McGahan emphasized. \""Our training programs provide hands-on experience with the actual technologies enterprises are implementing. Students work with real equipment configurations and scenarios they'll encounter when supporting AI workloads in production environments.\"" Competitive Advantage Through Technical Excellence The business case is clear: as AI becomes integral to competitive strategy, the organizations with the strongest networking foundations will capture market opportunities while others struggle with technical debt and implementation delays.

The findings expose a striking disparity in product performance: Security Effectiveness ranged from 2.95% to 100%, underscoring just how uneven SSE protection remains across vendors. Only Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, Versa Networks, and Zscaler earned a Recommended rating, while products from Cisco, Cloudflare, and Skyhigh were rated Caution due to failures in critical tests. Despite meeting our inclusion criteria and high market interest, we were unable to include Cato Networks and Netskope in this test. Netskope's high entry level licensing cost and their lack of responsiveness to our inquiries to purchase their product rendered it inaccessible. Cato was explicit in their refusal to engage with us or allow us to procure licensing for any form of independent third-party validation. \""With cloud-delivered products rapidly evolving through continuous integration and deployment, customers have little visibility into what changes under the hood,\"" said Vikram Phatak, CEO of CyberRatings.org. \""Only by conducting regular independent testing can enterprises ensure they're not left vulnerable to silent failures that could go unnoticed for months.\"" Of all the SSE test criteria, blocking evasions had the most impact on security effectiveness. Evasion techniques are used by threat actors to disguise or modify attacks, so they slip past defenses. While most products excelled at blocking known malware and exploits, three failed to stop evasions \u2014 exposing organizations to entire classes of undetected attacks. These independent tests uniquely stress real-world evasion techniques that standard evaluations often overlook \u2014 the techniques cybercriminals rely on to bypass security measures. The SSE evaluation was designed to reflect modern, adversarial conditions and covered: Malware: 6,184 malware samples in active use by global threat actors. Exploits: 205 exploits of known vulnerabilities. Evasions: 1,154 evasions spanning 37 categories of techniques. False Positives: 1,514 legitimate files and applications, verifying security measures do not impact users and operations. TLS/SSL: Encrypted attacks using cipher suites that represent ~97% of real-world HTTPS traffic. Security Service Edge is inherently complex \u2014 a multi-layered technology stacked atop ever-changing cloud environments. Customers typically have minimal visibility into how these systems operate and testing them independently is challenging. This double-layered opacity makes third-party validation essential to diagnose performance issues, fine-tune policy enforcement, and ensure real security outcomes. CyberRatings strongly urges organizations to adopt periodic or ongoing third-party testing to ensure consistent protection and compliance. NSS Labs is the Official Testing Partner of CyberRatings. Keysight's CyPerf tool was used for performance and TLS/SSL functionality, and TeraPackets Threat Replayer tool was used for exploit replay validation.

The vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2025-20281, CVE-2025-20282, and CVE-2025-20337, have each been assigned the maximum Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) score of 10.0, representing the highest possible severity rating. All three flaws allow unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands with root privileges on affected systems. Expert Analysis: The Worst-Case Scenario \""These vulnerabilities represent a cybersecurity nightmare scenario,\"" said Brian McGahan, CCIE in Security and Director of Networking Content at INE. \""When you have three separate bugs, each scoring a perfect 10 out of 10 on the CVSS scale, you're looking at the worst possible combination of factors: maximum exploitability, zero authentication requirements, and complete system compromise. This is effectively a master key that hands over the entire network infrastructure to any attacker who can reach these systems. For professionals with Cisco training and network security expertise, this represents exactly the kind of scenario we prepare organizations to prevent and respond to.\"" McGahan continued, \""What makes this particularly alarming is that ISE sits at the heart of network security infrastructure for most enterprise environments. Compromising ISE doesn't just give an attacker access to one system\u2014it potentially gives them the ability to control who gets access to what throughout the entire network. We're talking about a single point of failure that could unravel an organization's entire IT security posture. This incident highlights why comprehensive network security training and ongoing Cisco training are essential for modern IT professionals.\"" Technical Details and Impact The three vulnerabilities affect different components and versions: CVE-2025-20281 and CVE-2025-20337: Affect ISE and ISE-PIC releases 3.3 and 3.4, exploiting insufficient input validation in specific APIs CVE-2025-20282: Affects only ISE and ISE-PIC release 3.4, allowing arbitrary file uploads to privileged directories All vulnerabilities can be exploited remotely without authentication, requiring only that an attacker can reach the affected system over a network. Successfully exploited, these flaws grant attackers: Complete root-level access to the underlying operating system Ability to execute arbitrary commands Potential for lateral movement throughout the network Access to sensitive identity and authentication data Capability to modify or disable security policies Immediate Action Required Organizations running affected versions must take immediate action: Critical Patches Available: ISE Release 3.3: Upgrade to 3.3 Patch 7 ISE Release 3.4: Upgrade to 3.4 Patch 2 Important Notes: Organizations currently running Release 3.4 Patch 2 require no further action Those on Release 3.3 Patch 6 must upgrade to Patch 7 immediately Previous hot patches (ise-apply-CSCwo99449_3.3.0.430_patch4-SPA.tar.gz and ise-apply-CSCwo99449_3.4.0.608_patch1-SPA.tar.gz) do NOT protect against CVE-2025-20337 and have been deprecated by Cisco Industry Impact and Response The vulnerabilities were discovered through responsible disclosure by security researchers Bobby Gould of Trend Micro Zero Day Initiative and Kentaro Kawane of GMO Cybersecurity by Ierae. Cisco's Product Security Incident Response Team (PSIRT) reports no evidence of active exploitation in the wild at this time. However, given the critical nature of these vulnerabilities and the central role ISE plays in enterprise security infrastructure, security experts anticipate these flaws will become high-priority targets for threat actors. INE's Commitment to Cybersecurity Education As organizations race to patch these vulnerabilities, INE emphasizes the critical importance of comprehensive IT training, network security training, and incident response preparedness for cybersecurity teams. \""This situation underscores why continuous education and specialized IT training in vulnerability management and incident response are not optional; they're business-critical,\"" McGahan noted. \""Organizations need teams that can quickly assess, prioritize, and remediate vulnerabilities like these. The window between disclosure and exploitation continues to shrink, making skilled cybersecurity professionals with solid network security training and Cisco training more valuable than ever.\"" Recommendations for Organizations INE recommends that organizations take the following immediate steps: About INE Security: INE Security is the award-winning premier provider of online networking and cybersecurity training and certification.

McDonald's, with nearly a half-century of rising dividends, will continue to enrich investors. Challenges in the health insurance industry have boosted the dividend yield at UnitedHealth. 10 stocks we like better than Cisco Systems \u203a The Dow Jones Industrial Average comprises 30 blue chip stocks that investors often regard as a proxy for the overall economy. Amidst that prominence, all but two of the 30 components return cash to shareholders, a move that tends to affirm that stability. Still, investors may also want stock growth potential along with a strong dividend. To that end, these Dow stocks are well-positioned to deliver rising payouts without compromising potential returns from stock price growth. After years of slow revenue increases, growth is finally speeding up for Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO). Coming off the networking giant's acquisition of Splunk, product orders are up 20% year over year (or 9% if not including Splunk). The growth comes as companies work to integrate AI into security and network management. The rising orders should also bolster what has already served as a strong dividend. Its payout has risen every year since the company began offering dividends in 2011. At $1.64 per share annually, Cisco now has a dividend yield of 2.4%. That compares well to the S&P 500's average yield of 1.2%. More importantly, Cisco can likely sustain its dividend growth. In the first nine months of fiscal 2025 (ended April 26), it generated $9.3 billion in free cash flow, enough to cover the $4.8 billion in dividend costs over that period. Investors have begun to take notice of the stock in recent months. The stock is up by nearly 50% over the last year, and its P/E ratio of 28 sits at multi-year highs. Despite that recent growth, that places the P/E ratio slightly under the S&P 500 average earnings multiple of 30, indicating there is likely still time to buy Cisco stock. Dividend investors may also find a lot to like in McDonald's (NYSE: MCD) stock. Admittedly, that might not seem to be the case amid a sluggish economy and intense competition in the restaurant industry, and some investors may be leery of its 27 P/E ratio. However, since McDonald's actually profits from franchising, such challenges may have relatively little effect on its top line. McDonald's earns most of its revenue from franchising fees and restaurant rentals from its extensive real estate portfolio. While it also claims a percentage of the revenue driven from these restaurants, it also means that restaurant sales have less of an effect on the company than rivals such as Chipotle Mexican Grill. That stability contributes to the strength of its dividend, which has risen every year since its introduction in 1976. At $7.08 per share annually, it yields 2.3%. Furthermore, the payout appears sustainable, as its more than $6.7 billion in free cash flow covered the dividend costs of about $4.9 billion in 2024. Additionally, the stock was up just over 20% over the last year. When combining that with returns on the dividend, investors appear to have a surprisingly robust growth and income stock in McDonald's. When it comes to Dow dividend stocks, investors may have a unique buying opportunity in health insurer UnitedHealth Group (NYSE: UNH). The company offers health insurance to individuals, including Medicare and Medicaid recipients, as well as plans for employers. Nonetheless, its stock has fallen by nearly 40%, as rising medical costs led to lower earnings guidance in the first quarter of 2025. The tragic shooting of CEO Brian Thompson also plagued the stock. Moreover, investigations by the Department of Justice and The New York Times have called some of its business practices into question. So severe was the drop in the stock price that the selling has wiped out almost all the stock's five-year gain. Although such challenges tend to weigh on stocks, at least for a time, UnitedHealth should be positioned for recovery if it properly addresses those allegations. Additionally, the company's current stock price gives investors a tremendous incentive to take a position in the stock. Its P/E ratio has fallen to 13, its lowest point since 2013. The decline has also boosted its dividend yield to 2.8%, close to all-time highs. With that, it is worth noting that the payout has risen for 15 straight years and now pays shareholders $8.84 per share annually. Furthermore, despite rising costs, UnitedHealth's nearly $21 billion in free cash flow enabled it to meet its $7.5 billion in dividend costs in 2024. Hence, not only can UnitedHealth afford its generous, rising dividend, but investors also have a unique opportunity to buy this stock at an unusually low price. If one can tolerate its risks, the health insurance stock offers tremendous potential for growth.

As with previous rounds, the new capabilities enable users to be more productive. However, the true headline is that the features are emblematic of the advent of agentic AI and the rise of Zoom as a competitor. While all the new features add value, two are especially worth noting. With the Custom AI Companion add-on, AI Companion can attend meetings on a user\u2019s behalf held on platforms from three of Zoom\u2019s biggest rivals - Microsoft, Google, and (coming soon) Cisco - and automatically transcribe, summarise, and deliver actionable follow-ups. Also with the add-on, users can connect to 16 third-party apps to complete tasks without ever leaving Zoom. For example, resolving customer support tickets with Zendesk and ServiceNow; updating project statuses, assigning tasks, and setting deadlines with Asana and Jira; and expediting recruiting, interviews, and onboarding with Workday. A common thread running through the announced features is the latest phase of AI - agentic AI. Agentic AI features agents that perform tasks on users\u2019 behalf. Agentic AI can act autonomously, make decisions, and act without human intervention. It can adjust its approach based upon new information or changing circumstances. Zoom and each of its competitors are leveraging agentic AI in some shape or form. Most significantly, the new features symbolise a profound metamorphosis taking place at Zoom. After its video meetings capability became renowned virtually overnight in the dark, nascent days of the Covid pandemic, Zoom began a steady evolution of its platform. With the October 2023 introduction of Zoom AI Companion, that evolution took a sharp trajectory upward and morphed into a full-blown renaissance marked by the introduction of GenAI features. With the implementation of agentic AI capabilities \u2013 both those recently and newly introduced \u2013 Zoom has entered yet another chapter. Now, Zoom has taken an important step in that chapter with the integrations between competitor platforms and roster of third-party apps. With the integrations, Zoom is converting the Workplace platform from an island of collaboration into a centralised hub connecting with external tools. With a critical mass of functionality available from within Zoom, Zoom creates much stickier relationships with users and enables them to get work accomplished much more rapidly. However, there are disadvantages to having extended functionality under one roof. Within the last few years, Zoom experienced a security incident which made headlines, labelled \u2018Zoom bombing\u2019 where uninvited individuals would enter a meeting and disrupt it. The company promptly restored trust by resolving the problem quickly and communicating to the public the types of security measures in place. Today, with Zoom Workplace linking into other tools, the question of security becomes top of mind again. Zoom needs to resurrect the strong security message it previously drafted and remind users what safeguards are present to reduce the chance of a major breach. The rapid accumulation of features on the platform over an abbreviated period has resulted in a mosaic of capabilities. Zoom needs to craft a clear \u2018identity\u2019 for its suite of tools and send an unambiguous positioning message to the market. Cisco provides a good lead for Zoom to follow. In communicating what its Webex Suite stands for Cisco has erected three pillars: hybrid work, customer experience, and workspaces. Zoom needs to decide what its pillars are and mould a message accordingly. By continuing to regularly augment the platform while drafting strong messaging regarding security and market positioning, Zoom will be poised to continue its ascent. \""Zoom Workplace enhancements: Opportunities and hurdles\"" was originally created and published by Verdict, a GlobalData owned brand.

In its second-quarter 2025 survey of 39 value-added resellers (VARs), Stifel said results \u201cpoint to a continuation of recent trends across net growth and outperformance levels,\u201d while \u201cfeedback from larger Tier 1 VAR/SI conversations were mixed, with macro dynamics weighing on near-term results for several contacts in EMEA.\u201d Data security was the top spending priority for a second straight quarter, with identity, cloud, and endpoint security also ranking highly. Vulnerability management was deprioritized. Stifel noted a modest rebound in firewall demand, with the \u201chighest outperformance level over the prior seven quarters,\u201d and added that \u201cVARs continue to see share gains by PANW (and FTNT to a lesser extent), whereas CHKP/CSCO continue to be perceived as losing share.\u201d Despite the near-term uncertainty, the survey found partners were more positive on the medium-term outlook. \u201cVARs increase their C3Q25 and CY25 growth expectations and now expect to grow a blended 11.7% Y/Y in C3Q25 and 12.1% Y/Y in CY25,\u201d Stifel wrote. Customer preferences are said to be shifting slightly back toward Best-of-Breed models, though identity convergence is a focus area. \u201cWhile PANW continues to screen well as a being well-positioned as a platform vendor... it appears that there is a modest pendulum shift back towards Best of Breed vs. Platform,\u201d the firm said.

Cisco Systems CSCO is intensifying its focus on web-scale clients as part of its strategy to accelerate AI infrastructure growth and capture the booming AI infrastructure market. In the third quarter of fiscal 2025, the company reported more than $600 million in AI infrastructure orders, surpassing its full-year target of $1 billion a quarter early. This surge is being driven by rising demand from web-scale customers, with three of Cisco\u2019s top six clients in this category posting triple-digit order growth. The company\u2019s acceleration in AI infrastructure is powered by its Silicon One G200 chip for AI networking, along with high-performance hardware such as AI PODs and 800G Nexus switches, all built for scalable, low-latency AI workloads. CSCO\u2019s stronghold in enterprise networking, along with its recent Splunk acquisition, ensures it\u2019s well-positioned for the infrastructure demand. Strategic partnerships with NVIDIA, Microsoft, G42 and Saudi Arabia\u2019s HUMAIN AI company are expanding Cisco\u2019s reach into both sovereign and commercial AI data center buildouts. These alliances, combined with a strong product pipeline, position the company to drive continued AI order growth from both web-scale and enterprise customers. Meanwhile, networking product orders continue to post double-digit growth, reflecting the strength of Cisco\u2019s secure infrastructure portfolio. Supported by global partnerships and a robust AI pipeline, the company appears well-positioned to drive sustained AI order growth in the near future. Hewlett-Packard Enterprise HPE has emerged as a stronger AI networking rival to Cisco following its acquisition of Juniper Networks, expanding its AI-native infrastructure portfolio. Integrating Aruba, GreenLake and Mist AI, HPE now delivers a robust edge-to-cloud stack. HPE\u2019s deepening partnership with NVIDIA aims to simplify the deployment of enterprise generative AI through preconfigured, full-stack solutions. This strategic alignment positions HPE as a formidable challenger to Cisco\u2019s legacy platforms in the fast-evolving AI and hybrid cloud landscape. Arista Networks ANET is a key AI networking competitor to Cisco, driven by its Ethernet-optimized AI platforms, EOS software and hyperscaler-focused architecture. Arista Networks projects second-quarter 2025 revenues of $2.1???billion, driven by strong growth momentum. Arista Networks' recent acquisition of VeloCloud expands its presence in the enterprise edge space. With advanced automation, telemetry and zero-touch operations, Arista Networks is well-positioned as a leading choice for AI-ready data center and edge networking solutions. Shares of Cisco have gained 15.4% year to date compared with the Zacks Computer \u2013 Networking industry\u2019s return of 14.6%.

Rent, groceries, gas, surprise car repairs\u2026 life doesn\u2019t come once every three months. That\u2019s why some investors are building what\u2019s called a Weekly Paycheck Portfolio\u2014a curated list of dividend-paying stocks staggered to deliver consistent income every week of the year. With the right mix of stocks across sectors and dividend schedules, you can build a dividend portfolio that not only delivers frequent income but grows it over time. These 12 stocks yield nearly four times the S&P 500 average and offer solid dividend growth. Here's how to build your own weekly dividend machine. I\u2019ll reveal my 12-stock portfolio as an example but the idea here is so simple and allows you to switch out your favorite dividend stocks. Most dividend stocks pay out each year on extremely consistent schedules. Dividend investors love that certainty and consistency so directors of these companies try to declare and pay those dividends on the same week every three months, some even down to the same day. That means, after putting together your list of dividend stocks, you can use a resource like the Historical Data tab on Yahoo Finance to see when each has paid dividends in the past. Once you have a list of when your favorite dividend stocks go ex-dividend, you can plan it out so you have stocks that will pay you every week of the year. Cisco Systems (CSCO) Dividend Yield: 2.4% Ex-Dividend Schedule: First week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct Cisco offers a modest yield\u2014but as a tech company, it\u2019s unusually generous. The company is well-positioned in the AI-driven data center boom with solutions in switching, routing, and cybersecurity. Cisco has raised its dividend consistently and shares are up 50% in five years. EOG Resources (EOG) Dividend Yield: 3.4% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Second week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct A natural gas powerhouse, EOG is benefiting from increased LNG export infrastructure. Its dividend has grown at 20% annually, and analysts forecast double-digit upside in shares. That\u2019s on top of 143% share price growth over five years. AbbVie (ABBV) Dividend Yield: 3.5% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Third week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct This pharma giant has become a dividend investor favorite thanks to its blockbuster pipeline, including Skyrizi and Rinvoq. AbbVie\u2019s strong growth and 12% price target upside make it worth the a look. Ford Motor (F) Dividend Yield: 6.9% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Fourth week of Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct Ford is deep value right now, trading at just 0.25x sales. While earnings are forecast to dip, the F-150 remains the best-selling truck in America. Any relief in input costs or sales rebound could re-ignite the stock, and the 6.9% dividend sweetens the wait. Kinder Morgan (KMI) Dividend Yield: 4.0% Ex-Dividend Schedule: First week of February, May, August, November With 80,000 miles of oil and gas pipeline, Kinder Morgan generates steady fees independent of commodity prices. The stock offers dependable income, modest growth, and analysts see 12% upside to the shares. Duke Energy (DUK) Dividend Yield: 3.5% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Second week of Feb, May, Aug, Nov Duke provides electricity and gas to more than 9 million customers across the southeastern U.S. With rising power demand driven by data centers, the company offers stability and potential for 10\u201320% share price appreciation.

Prudential Financial (PRU) Dividend Yield: 5.0% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Third week of Feb, May, Aug, Nov Prudential brings international diversification with half its earnings overseas, especially in Japan and Brazil. Analysts see a 10% upside, and its 5% dividend with 4% growth rate makes it a top pick among insurers. NextEra Energy (NEE) Dividend Yield: 3.3% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Fourth week of February, May, August, November NextEra combines the scale of a major utility with a fast-growing renewables portfolio. It\u2019s grown its dividend at a 10% annual pace, and with 28GW in clean energy backlog, future growth looks strong even if yield is middle-of-the-pack. Regions Financial (RF) Dividend Yield: 4.2% Ex-Dividend Schedule: First week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec This regional bank has scaled well and consistently raised its dividend by 10% annually. Regulatory easing and a higher rate environment could push shares well above their current analyst target of $24 per share. Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) Dividend Yield: 2.5% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Second week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec HPE\u2019s merger with Juniper and strength in AI-driven server growth make it a hidden tech dividend play. While dividend growth has been slow at 1.6%, accelerating cash flows should drive both payouts and price higher. Altria Group (MO) Dividend Yield: 7.0% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Third week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec Despite declining cigarette volumes, Altria has grown total volume through heated tobacco and nicotine pouches. The dividend is king here, and with a 7% yield, investors are getting paid well to wait. Medtronic (MDT) Dividend Yield: 3.2% Ex-Dividend Schedule: Fourth week of Mar, Jun, Sep, Dec With a #1 or #2 position in all three of its core MedTech markets and AI-enabled devices already approved, Medtronic combines innovation and consistency. While growth has lagged recently, the stock remains a steady payer with upside potential. This 12-stock portfolio yields approximately 4.1%, nearly four times the broader market average\u2014with an average dividend growth rate above 6% a year. It includes a mix of sectors for safety, income, and potential appreciation. That means you\u2019ll get dependable dividend checks every week of the year, from high-yield staples like Altria and Ford to steady growers like NextEra and Medtronic. It\u2019s not a get-rich-quick strategy\u2014but it is a get-paid-every-week strategy.

To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Facilities Dive newsletter. Most companies are requiring workers back in the office, but not all of them are offering incentives to win employees over, studies show. Cisco found a \u201cclear, global trend toward increased in-office work,\u201d with 72% of organizations issuing mandates for working in the office, according to the company\u2019s 2025 global hybrid work study released in June. Nearly half, or 46%, of respondents said their organization\u2019s hybrid work policy requires more time in the office than previous policies. But what employers are offering as incentives for workers to return is mixed. Almost half of employers that recently required employees to transition to on-site work offered no perks to encourage attendance, according to a survey by catering platform ezCater. That\u2019s a missed opportunity, the company says. Employees now view the office as a vital hub for connection, with 60% believing the primary purposes of the contemporary office are collaboration and connection, according to the company, which surveyed 1,000 full-time U.S. employees. Returning employees mostly want informal, social spaces that include outdoor areas and breakrooms or eating areas, ezCater\u2019s survey shows. Employees also want to see well-being initiatives, according to the survey. Of the 55% of workers who want those, most \u2013 44% \u2013 want food offerings, but only 19% of companies offer that, ezCater said. Almost 80% of respondents said that a daily or weekly employer-provided meal would, or does, improve the overall workplace experience, according to the report. While many companies are leaning into technology tools to bolster collaboration in the office, ezCater says that workers are happiest when companies lean into both technology and in-person ways to connect, \u201cand if those in-person gatherings involve food, even better.\u201d \u201cThe future of workplace experience will be social,\u201d Robert Kaskel, vice president of people at ezCater, said in a statement. \u201cIt\u2019s about finding ways to bring colleagues together, sometimes over a meal, so they can learn from and inspire each other, become friends, and celebrate shared successes, as well as share challenges and solve problems.\u201d Workers also wish that office layouts enabled more collaboration. Fewer than 10% of employees said a cubicle office is ideal; instead, the most popular option was a \u201cmixed office space,\u201d which combines open-plan areas, some cubicles and private offices, ezCater says. \u201cBreak rooms, lunch spaces, and informal gathering areas are essential in fostering a sense of community and creating organic opportunities for collaboration,\u201d Miriam Groom, CEO of Mindful career, a career counseling and coaching firm, said in the report. \u201cThese spaces help rebuild trust and connection, especially after years of remote work.

Key growth drivers include rising cybersecurity concerns, Industry 4.0 adoption, and increased IT-OT convergence. North America leads the market, with Asia-Pacific as the fastest-growing region. Data Diode Market Dublin, July 23, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The \""Data Diode Market Report 2025\"" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. The data diode market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $1.11 billion in 2024 to $1.27 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.2%. The growth during the historic period can be attributed to growing concerns over cybersecurity, a higher incidence of cyber threats, an increased need for industrial control systems (ICS) security, expanding regulatory compliance requirements, and a rising awareness of advanced persistent threats (APT). The data diode market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $2.23 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15%. The anticipated growth during the forecast period can be attributed to the adoption of Industry 4.0 technologies, rising data traffic and bandwidth demands, greater adoption of industrial cybersecurity solutions, the growing need for secure data transfer, and increased investments in the convergence of IT and OT systems. Key trends expected during this period include advancements in technologies, progress in semiconductor and optical technologies, the emergence of 5G technology, and the development of advanced cybersecurity infrastructure. The increasing concerns surrounding cybersecurity are expected to drive the growth of the data diode market in the future. Cybersecurity concerns involve the risks and challenges of safeguarding digital systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, attacks, damage, or theft. These concerns have grown due to the rapid expansion of digitalization, which increases vulnerabilities, and the rise of AI-powered attacks, making it more difficult to detect and prevent cybercrime. A data diode enhances cybersecurity by ensuring one-way data flow, blocking external cyber threats from accessing critical systems while allowing secure data transmission. For example, in April 2024, the Federal Bureau of Investigation, a US-based law enforcement agency, reported that Americans filed 880,418 cyber threat complaints in 2023, representing a nearly 10% increase from 2022, with potential losses exceeding $12.5 billion, a 22% rise from the previous year. As a result, the growing cybersecurity concerns are driving the demand for data diodes. Companies in the data diode market are focusing on developing advanced solutions, such as data diode controller software, to enhance data protection and maintain unidirectional communication between networks. Data diode controller software is a security solution that enables one-way data transfers across isolated networks, ensuring strict data flow in one direction to protect high-security environments from cyber threats. For instance, in November 2024, Patton Electronics, a US-based company specializing in cybersecurity solutions for communication networks, introduced the Data Diode Controller Software (FPSW-DDC). This software facilitates secure, one-way data transfers over unidirectional data diodes, ensuring complete network isolation from cyber threats. It is designed for defense, intelligence, energy, and critical infrastructure sectors, supporting protocols such as SFTP, NFS, SMB, SMTP, MQTT, and OPC UA while automating real-time monitoring and logging across security domains. The software works with Patton's SFP Data Diode Modules or other physical data diodes, offering a user-friendly interface to manage secure data flows. In December 2024, OPSWAT, a US-based cybersecurity company focused on protecting critical infrastructure, acquired Fend Incorporated for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition aims to enhance OPSWAT's cybersecurity solutions by integrating advanced data diode technology, boosting unidirectional gateway capabilities, and expanding its portfolio to better secure critical infrastructure from cyber threats. Fend Incorporated, a US-based company, specializes in the development and manufacturing of data diodes for data pipelines and cybersecurity applications.

By connecting to a modem, a wireless router enables numerous devices to access the internet without the need for physical connections. Smartphones, laptops, smart TVs, and other devices can connect to the local Wi-Fi network it creates by sending data via radio waves. Wireless routers allow connected devices to communicate and share files in addition to providing internet access. Features like firewall security, parental controls, dual-band or tri-band frequencies, and support for cutting-edge protocols like Wi-Fi 6 are all available on modern routers. They are crucial for delivering quick, easy, and safe wireless internet access in residences, workplaces, and public areas. A number of important variables are propelling the wireless router market's expansion in Australia. The demand for wireless routers in homes and companies has increased dramatically as a result of rising internet penetration and the growth of reasonably priced broadband services. High-performance routers that can support several connected devices are now necessary due to the growing popularity of smart home appliances, security systems, and voice assistants. Furthermore, dependable, fast internet has become essential due to the growth of remote employment and online education. Customers are encouraged to upgrade by technological developments like the introduction of Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 6E, which offer faster speeds and increased network efficiency. Additionally, the industry is expanding because to the increased popularity of mesh Wi-Fi systems, which offer seamless coverage throughout big houses or offices. Growth Drivers for the Australia Wireless Router Market Increased Internet Penetration Due in major part to the country's rising internet penetration, the wireless router industry in Australia is expanding significantly. About 26.1 million Australians, or 97.1% of the population, were internet users as of January 2025. The demand for wireless routers and other home networking solutions is rising as a result of this increased connectedness. Internet access is being further improved by the National Broadband Network's (NBN) growth. By 2030, NBN Co. hopes to offer gigabit-speed services to more than 11 million homes and enterprises. Furthermore, customers are being encouraged to upgrade their networking equipment in order to support faster speeds and more connected devices as a result of the widespread adoption of cutting-edge technologies like Wi-Fi 6 and 5G. Together, these advancements support the wireless router market's strong expansion in Australia. Smart Home Device Adoption The swift uptake of smart home appliances is a major factor propelling the expansion of wireless router usage in Australia. There is a growing need for robust, dependable Wi-Fi networks as more homes integrate connected devices like voice assistants, lighting controls, security cameras, and smart thermostats. Older or lower-capacity routers may become overloaded by these devices, which frequently demand continuous internet access. High-performance wireless routers are becoming popular among consumers in order to guarantee seamless and continuous connectivity for numerous smart devices running concurrently. Wi-Fi 6 and other advances enhance network efficiency, speed, and range, making them ideal for smart home settings. This change is leading to nationwide improvements in residential wireless infrastructure. Remote Work and Online Learning The demand for wireless routers has increased dramatically in Australia due to the rise in remote employment and online education. Australians are depending more and more on fast, reliable internet connections for e-learning, collaborative work, and virtual meetings as the epidemic has sped up the adoption of flexible work and education paradigms. The requirement for sophisticated wireless routers that can manage numerous devices and high-bandwidth applications concurrently has increased as a result of this change. The country's wireless router industry is growing as a result of consumers updating their home networks to guarantee uninterrupted connectivity. Challenges in the Australia Wireless Router Market High Competition and Price Sensitivity Due to intense competition and price sensitivity, the wireless router market in Australia confronts many difficulties. Many businesses engage in fierce competition, providing comparable features and technology, which exacerbates price wars and lowers manufacturers' and retailers' profit margins. Cost is frequently given precedence over sophisticated features by consumers, making it challenging for businesses to differentiate their goods only through innovation. Technological advancement is slowed by this price-driven environment, which restricts investment in R&D. Frequent sales and promotions can complicate supply chain and inventory management by causing unpredictable market dynamics. All things considered, the competitive and cost-sensitive environment presents a significant barrier to the wireless router industry's long-term growth in Australia. Security Concerns One major issue facing the wireless router industry in Australia is security. Due to the widespread usage of obsolete firmware on older routers, networks are susceptible to malware infestations, hacking, and data breaches. Weak router security can jeopardize entire home networks, thus these threats are increased as the number of linked smart devices rises. Additionally, people are becoming more wary about device security as they become more aware of privacy issues. Firmware must be updated frequently, and manufacturers must incorporate cutting-edge security features like automatic threat detection and WPA3 encryption. The intricacy of these capabilities, however, may discourage less tech-savvy users from configuring networks correctly, leaving them vulnerable and impeding the broad deployment of secure routers.

Second Quarter 2025 GAAP and Non-GAAP Results: The following table summarizes our financial results for the second quarter 2025: Financial Outlook Our guidance includes GAAP and non\u2011GAAP financial measures. The non\u2011GAAP growth rates for subscription revenues are adjusted for constant currency by excluding the effects of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts, and the non-GAAP growth rates for cRPO are adjusted only for constant currency to provide better visibility into the underlying business trends. ServiceNow has a larger\u2011than\u2011average customer cohort scheduled to renew in Q4 2025. As a result, Q3 2025 will experience approximately 2 points of headwinds to cRPO growth as the contractual obligations wind down. We expect that cohort to renew in Q4 2025, at which time those headwinds will subside. As noted last quarter, U.S. Federal agencies are navigating changes, from tightening budgets to evolving mission demands. We expect those dynamics to continue into Q3 2025. We remain confident that our revised guidance appropriately reflects these trends and continues to set us up for success for the remainder of the year.

Statement Regarding Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures We use the following non-GAAP financial measures in addition to, and not as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP. Revenues. We adjust revenues and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed excluding the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations and any gains or losses from foreign currency hedge contracts that are reported in the current and comparative period. To exclude the effect of foreign currency rate fluctuations, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than U.S. Dollars (\""USD\"") are converted into USD at the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period (for Q2 2024, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.93 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 British Pound Sterling (\""GBP\"")), rather than the actual average exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2025, the average exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.88 Euros and 1 USD to 0.75 GBP). Guidance for related growth rates is derived by applying the average exchange rates in effect during the comparison period, rather than the exchange rates for the guidance period, adjusted for any foreign currency hedging effects. We believe the presentation of revenues and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of revenues year-over-year. Remaining performance obligations and current remaining performance obligations. We adjust cRPO and remaining performance obligations (\""RPO\"") and related growth rates for constant currency to provide a framework for assessing how our business performed. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than USD are converted into USD at the exchange rates in effect at the end of the comparison period (for Q2 2024, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.93 Euros and 1 USD to 0.79 GBP), rather than the actual end of the period exchange rates in effect during the current period (for Q2 2025, the end of the period exchange rates in effect for our major currencies were 1 USD to 0.85 Euros and 1 USD to 0.73 GBP). Guidance for the related growth rate is derived by applying the end of period exchange rates in effect during the comparison period rather than the exchange rates in effect during the guidance period. We believe the presentation of cRPO and RPO and related growth rates adjusted for constant currency facilitates the comparison of cRPO and RPO year-over-year, respectively. Gross profit, Income from operations, Net income and Net income per share - diluted. Our non-GAAP presentation of gross profit, income from operations, and net income measures exclude certain non-cash or non-recurring items, including stock-based compensation expense, amortization of purchased intangibles, legal settlements, business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, impairment of assets, severance costs, and income tax effects and adjustments. We believe these adjustments provide useful supplemental information to investors and facilitates the analysis of our operating results and comparison of operating results across reporting periods. Free cash flow. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities plus cash outflows for legal settlements and business combination and other related costs including compensation expense, reduced by purchases of property and equipment. Free cash flow margin is calculated as free cash flow as a percentage of total revenues. We believe information regarding free cash flow and free cash flow margin provides useful information to investors because it is an indicator of the strength and performance of our business operations. Our presentation of non-GAAP financial measures may not be comparable to similar measures used by other companies. We encourage investors to carefully consider our results under GAAP, as well as our supplemental non-GAAP information and the reconciliation between these presentations, to more fully understand our business. Please see the tables included at the end of this release for the reconciliation of GAAP and non-GAAP results for gross profit, income from operations, net income, net income per share, and free cash flow.

Okta OKTA shares closed at $95.63 on Wednesday, roughly 25% below the 52-week high of $127.57 it hit on May 16, 2025. Okta shares have appreciated 21.3% year to date, outperforming the Zacks Computer and Technology sector\u2019s return of 10.1% and the Zacks Security industry\u2019s increase of 19.7%. Okta shares have outperformed peers, including CyberArk CYBR, Cisco Systems CSCO and Microsoft MSFT year to date. CyberArk, Cisco, and Microsoft shares have appreciated 12.9%, 15.9% and 20%, respectively. An innovative portfolio and rich partner base are helping Okta shares outperform. The company benefits from strong demand for its new products, including Identity Governance, Privileged Access, Device Access, Fine Grained Authorization, Identity Security Posture Management, and Identity Threat Protection with Okta AI. Okta\u2019s offerings include Okta AI, a suite of AI-powered capabilities embedded across several products, which empowers organizations to harness AI to build better experiences and protect against cyberattacks. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Okta\u2019s strong liquidity is a key catalyst. The company ended the first quarter of fiscal 2026 with $2.73 billion in cash, cash equivalents, short-term, and long-term investments. Net cash provided by operations was $241 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, while free cash flow was $238 million. For fiscal 2026, Okta raised free cash flow margin guidance to roughly 27%. However, the company is facing a challenging macroeconomic condition and stiff competition in the Identity and Access management domain, which is expected to hurt prospects. Okta shares are overvalued, as suggested by the Value Score of D. In terms of forward Price/Cash Flow, OKTA is trading at 22.51X compared with the broader sector\u2019s 22.03X and Cisco\u2019s 20.6X, suggesting a premium valuation. However, in comparison to Microsoft and CyberArk, Okta is cheap. Microsoft is trading at 28.88X while CyberArk is trading at 73.58X. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research So, what should investors do with Okta stock at the current level? Let\u2019s dig deep into its fundamentals to gain some insight. Okta is expanding its security portfolio with the launch of a new protocol, Cross App Access, which helps in securing AI agents. End users ultimately benefit as the latest protocol removes repetitive authorization consent screens and manages agent access for better security and compliance. The latest protocol reflects Okta\u2019s commitment to protecting its customers deploying AI. The company\u2019s focus on protecting non-human identities (NHIs) and developers building secure agents is noteworthy. Okta is benefiting from a rich partner base that includes the likes of Amazon Web Services, CrowdStrike, Google, LexisNexis Risk Solutions, Microsoft, Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Plaid, Proofpoint, Salesforce, ServiceNow, VMware, Workday, Yubico and Zscaler. The company has more than 7,000 integrations with cloud, mobile, and web applications and IT infrastructure providers as of April 30, 2025. OKTA\u2019s innovative portfolio and rich partner base are helping the company win clients. It exited first-quarter fiscal 2026 with roughly 20,000 customers, reflecting strong growth prospects for subscription revenues. Customers with more than $100 thousand in Annual Contract Value increased by 70 sequentially to 4,870. The combined governance portfolio of Okta Identity Governance, Lifecycle Management, and Workflows has surged 400% over the past three years to nearly $40 billion at the end of the fiscal first quarter. For fiscal 2026, OKTA still expects revenues between $2.85 billion and $2.86 billion, indicating 9-10% growth from the figure reported in fiscal 2025. Uncertainty in the federal business, along with challenging macroeconomic conditions, is a headwind for the company. However, Okta expects fiscal 2026 non-GAAP earnings between $3.23 and $3.28 per share, up from previous guidance between $3.15 and $3.20 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Okta\u2019s earnings has increased 9 cents over the past 60 days to $3.28 per share. The earnings figure suggests 16.73% growth over the figure reported in fiscal 2025. Okta, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Okta, Inc. Quote Okta expects second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues between $710 million and $712 million, indicating 10% year-over-year growth. The current portion of the company\u2019s remaining performance obligations is expected in the 10-11% range. Okta anticipates non-GAAP earnings between 83 cents and 84 cents per share. For second-quarter fiscal 2026, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for OKTA\u2019s earnings has increased by a nickel to 84 cents per share over the past 60 days. The earnings figure suggests 16.67% year-over-year growth. Despite a challenging macroeconomic condition, anticipated sluggishness in federal business and a stretched valuation, Okta rides on an innovative portfolio and an expanding clientele. Okta currently has a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy) and a Growth Score of A, a favorable combination that offers a strong investment opportunity, per the Zacks Proprietary methodology.

The company\u2019s business model has evolved with subscription revenues accounting for more than half of its total revenues. Increase in recurring revenue base bodes well for investors. Splunk acquisition enhances its recurring revenue base. The buyout significantly expands Cisco\u2019s portfolio of software-based solutions, contributing more than $4 billion in ARR and makes it one of the largest software companies in the world. The launch of AI-powered Hypershield, which combines security and networking, strengthened Cisco\u2019s security portfolio. However, it has been suffering from sluggish networking sales, primarily due to lackluster demand from telecommunication and cable services providers, as well as stiff competition. Cisco\u2019s prospects are further challenged in the AI-driven networking space due to stiffening competition. (You can read the full research report on Cisco here >>>) Shares of Caterpillar have outperformed the Zacks Manufacturing - Construction and Mining industry over the year-to-date period (+19% vs. +18.7%). The company\u2019s Energy and Transportation segment has shown improved volume and margin performance in the past few quarters, helping offset weaker results in the Resource Industries and Construction Industries segments. This will continue through the rest of 2025, which, along with a solid first quarter 2025-end backlog of $35 billion, should support its top line. However, higher labor costs and the uncertainty regarding tariffs are concerning. Going forward, the Construction Industries segment will gain from increased construction activities in the United States and globally. Resource Industries will be supported by commodity demand. The Energy & Transportation segment will gain on strong demand across all applications. Caterpillar\u2019s focus on aftermarket parts and service-related revenues (which generate high margins) will aid growth. (You can read the full research report on Caterpillar here >>>) Charles Schwab\u2019s shares have outperformed the Zacks Financial - Investment Bank industry over the past six months (+16.2% vs. +12.2%). The company\u2019s second-quarter 2025 results were aided by higher net interest revenues (NIR). Relatively higher interest rates and an increased focus on repaying high-cost bank supplemental funding balances will likely support net interest margin (NIM) expansion in the quarters ahead. Strategic acquisitions and favorable market conditions are likely to aid client assets growth in the near term. However, operating expenses are likely to remain elevated in light of continued investments in marketing and advertising alongside compensation costs. Subdued trading revenue growth is worrisome because of the volatile nature of the capital markets amid macro uncertainties. Nonetheless, a solid balance sheet and liquidity position will likely enable sustainable capital distributions for the company. (You can read the full research report on Charles Schwab here >>>) Shares of Elite Pharmaceuticals have outperformed the Zacks Medical - Drugs industry over the past six months (+17% vs. +2.1%). This microcap company with a market capitalization of $588.87 million is capitalizing on a large, under-penetrated ADHD market via its December 2024 launch of Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse generic), gaining 8\u201310% market share in a $3.5 billion segment with further upside as quota and coverage ease. Its shift to direct sales drove fiscal 2025 revenues up 48.4% to $84 million and operating income up 81.7% to $19.6 million, enhancing margins and cash flow. ELTP maintains leading shares in Adderall IR/ER generics and is expanding via complex formulations and new launches. Yet risks include pricing pressure from Vyvanse generics, customer concentration, rising inventory, revenue dependence on Vyvanse and offshore competition. Derivative liabilities and legal overhang on OxyContin also cloud earnings visibility. ELTP\u2019s valuation reflects growth optimism, but also heightens execution risk.

Zacks Investment Research"", ""3 Soaring Tech Stocks With Amazing Dividends Cisco and IBM are examples of established tech companies that set aside money for a solid dividend. Paychex is on the verge of a growth spurt, with revenue and earnings expected to jump this year. 10 stocks we like better than Cisco Systems \u203a Tech stocks are incredibly popular investments, and for a good reason. Technology stocks make up roughly one-third of the entire S&P 500 index, which is a measurement of the 500 biggest U.S.-based publicly traded companies. And that sector as a whole is nearly doubling the performance of the broader index so far this year. The one argument that people could have against tech stocks is the lack of a dividend. Many tech stocks, because they are on the forefront of innovation, are plowing their profits back into the business. Either they're scaling already successful products, pouring money into research to develop the next big thing, or they are spending millions on graphics processing units (GPUs) to run their artificial intelligence (AI)-based platforms. Often, they're doing all three. That leaves no money for a quarterly or monthly dividend payout that income investors love to receive -- either to reinvest into their portfolios to advance their wealth or to pay monthly living expenses as they settle into a comfortable retirement. But with some stocks, you can have it both ways. If you want to invest in tech stocks that will top the market and also pay a great dividend, look no further than Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), International Business Machines (NYSE: IBM), and Paychex (NASDAQ: PAYX). All three are good buys right now. Cisco is a well-known provider of networking security solutions, software, and cloud computing. It creates Internet Protocol-based routers and switches that allow information to travel across networks. Revenue in the third quarter of fiscal 2025 (ended April 26, 2025) was $14.1 billion, up 11% from a year ago. Earnings per share (EPS) were $0.62, up a solid 35% from the same period a year ago. AI has been a big driver of Cisco products, as the company generated more than $1 billion in AI-related revenue in 2024 and plans to at least double that in 2025. Cisco expanded its revenue stream thanks in part to its acquisition of Splunk, a $28 billion deal that closed last year and was designed to help customers improve their networking, security, and AI capabilities. Cisco is an example of an established technology company that is still finding ways to grow and outperform the market, rising 15% in 2025. On top of that, Cisco stock pays a 2.3% dividend yield. If I think about established tech companies, one of the first that comes to mind is stalwart IBM (nicknamed Big Blue). The company traces its roots back more than 100 years. And while IBM is perhaps best known for its work in developing personal computers, today's IBM is more known for its work in cybersecurity, cloud computing, consulting, and its massive mainframe computers that are used by an estimated 81% of all Fortune 500 companies. Despite its storied history, Big Blue today moves like a spry stock market powerhouse, gaining 30% so far this year. Its 2019 acquisition of Red Hat helped IBM develop a hybrid cloud-computing business and provided revenue and momentum for IBM's software division. The consensus estimate by analysts on Yahoo! Finance calls for IBM's revenue to jump 5.5% this year to $66.2 billion and then rise another 4% in fiscal year 2026. Coupled with IBM's solid 2.3% dividend yield, IBM is the rare combination of growth and income in a technology stock. Paychex is a leading provider of payroll, human resources, employee benefits, and retirement services for companies. The company can handle onboarding, performance management, time cards, and payroll processing. The company's revenue has risen dramatically since 2021, topping the $5 billion mark in 2024. Paychex now counts more than 745,000 clients, with more than half of its revenue coming from services beyond payroll. Its retirement services division had double-digit growth in 2024 and now has $52 billion in assets under management. Revenue in 2025's fiscal Q4 (ended May 31, 2025) was $1.42 billion, up 10% from a year ago. Operating income fell 11% for the quarter, but that was attributed to the company's $4 billion purchase of fellow human capital management company Paycor, which closed in April. Paychex's growth in areas outside payroll, in addition to its expansion with the purchase of Paycor, should continue to boost revenue. The company is forecasting revenue in the next fiscal year to increase 16.5% to 18.5% and EPS to grow from a range from 8.5% to 10.5% Paychex stock is up only 2% so far this year but is gathering momentum for a big jump in the next few quarters. The stock trades at a still-reasonable forward price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 26 and has an enticing dividend yield of 3%. Paychex is a buy in my book.

This microcap company with a market capitalization of $588.87 million is capitalizing on a large, under-penetrated ADHD market via its December 2024 launch of Lisdexamfetamine (Vyvanse generic), gaining 8\u201310% market share in a $3.5 billion segment with further upside as quota and coverage ease. Its shift to direct sales drove fiscal 2025 revenues up 48.4% to $84 million and operating income up 81.7% to $19.6 million, enhancing margins and cash flow. ELTP maintains leading shares in Adderall IR/ER generics and is expanding via complex formulations and new launches. Yet risks include pricing pressure from Vyvanse generics, customer concentration, rising inventory, revenue dependence on Vyvanse and offshore competition. Derivative liabilities and legal overhang on OxyContin also cloud earnings visibility. ELTP\u2019s valuation reflects growth optimism, but also heightens execution risk.

Treasuries edged lower.

In the run-up to the Aug. 1 US tariff deadline, traders will go through a raft of key data from jobs to inflation and economic activity. The big event comes Wednesday, when the Federal Reserve is expected to keep rates unchanged. Then there’s a string of big-tech earnings, with four megacaps worth a combined $11.3 trillion reporting results. “This is about as busy as a week can get in the markets,” said Chris Larkin at E*Trade from Morgan Stanley. “This week could make or break that momentum in the near term.” US and Chinese officials finished the first of two days of talks aimed at extending their tariff truce beyond a mid-August deadline and hashing out ways to maintain trade ties while safeguarding economic security. Canada Prime Minister Mark Carney said his government is still deep in trade talks with the Trump administration. The Treasury jacked up its estimate for federal borrowing for the current quarter to $1 trillion, mainly due to distortions from the debt limit. On Wednesday, the department will announce its plans for note and bond sales over coming months — which dealers widely see as staying unchanged. Speaking in Scotland on Sunday to announce the EU deal, Trump gave a brief update on Washington’s relations with Beijing. “We’re very close to a deal with China. We really sort of made a deal with China, but we’ll see how that goes,” he said without elaborating. “It is possible that as more trade deals are announced, the level of uncertainty that has hovered over business and the economy will ease,” said Brent Schutte at Northwestern Mutual Wealth Management Co. “Additionally, the impact of final trade deals could be less than originally forecast after the April 2 announcement of reciprocal tariffs.” To Thierry Wizman at Macquarie Group, while the dollar’s strength today may reflect the perception that the new EU deal is lopsided in favor of the US, it may also reflect a feeling that America is reengaging with its major allies. “Whether we agree or not with the use of tariffs and the deals announced, we are getting the big ones out of the way which will allow American businesses to adjust and plan, for better or worse,” said Peter Boockvar at the Boock Report. “And we can now focus on how this all plays out.” Fed Chair Jerome Powell and his colleagues will step into the central bank’s board room for a two-day meeting starting Tuesday to deliberate on rates at a time of immense political pressure, evolving trade policy, and economic cross-currents. In a rare occurrence, policymakers will convene in the same week that the government issues reports on gross domestic product, employment and the Fed’s preferred price metrics. Forecasters anticipate the heavy dose of data will show economic activity rebounded in the second quarter. While the stock market is moving sideways after a solid run, “if we get no surprises in earnings and some dovish comments by the Fed, it’s likely we’ll see yet more new highs by the end of the week,” said Louis Navellier, chief investment officer at Navellier & Associates. “We do not expect the Federal Reserve to cut interest rates on Wednesday, but it’s possible that they make a stronger signal that cuts are on the horizon in the fall, especially as the inflation data continues to stay muted even in this tariff environment,” said Rick Gardner at RGA Investments. Gardner also says that while stock market valuations are high, that in and of itself is not a reason why valuations can’t expand even further from here. In fact, this earnings season is off to a solid start, and all eyes will be on results from Microsoft Corp. and Meta Platforms Inc. on Wednesday, and Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. on Thursday. So far, Corporate America appears to be taking tariffs in stride. With about a third of S&P 500 firms having reported, roughly 82% have beaten profit forecasts, on track for the best quarter in about four years, data compiled by Bloomberg Intelligence show. Progress in trade negotiations will take the S&P 500 to a third consecutive year of 20% gains, according to Oppenheimer Asset Management’s John Stoltzfus, a feat unseen since the late 1990s. He raised his year-end target for the US benchmark to 7,100. Some market forecasters including Morgan Stanley’s Michael Wilson have turned more optimistic about the S&P 500 as they expect earnings to remain upbeat. The technical evidence suggests a broadening of participation in equities off the April low, according to Craig Johnson at Piper Sandler. “Despite a slight easing in momentum as investors await earnings, the combination of several major indices at all-time highs and improving market breadth continues to draw investors off the sidelines, offering opportunities to buy the dip,” he said. At RBC Capital Markets, Lori Calvasina says it would be premature to write off the impact of tariffs on inflation and corporate earnings. “It also poses a risk to the path of stock prices if company outlooks for 2026 don’t end up being as rosy as investors have been anticipating,” she noted. The S&P 500 is trading around 22.5 times projected earnings, compared to a 10-year average of 18.6. That’s sparked concerns that there may be little room for error. The stock market’s stunning rebound and resilience have again emboldened equity investors, who have developed muscle memory around ‘buying the dip’,” according to Lisa Shalett at Morgan Stanley Wealth Management. “With volatility having decoupled from stress indicators, passive indexes have ground to new highs, while the most speculative corners of the market have begun to lead,” she said. “Complacency is elevated, and valuations are rich. In this environment, we want to be stock-pickers.” To Mark Hackett at Nationwide, this may be the most compelling intersection of technical momentum and fundamental strength we’ve seen in a long time. “The S&P hasn’t had a 1% move in over a month and yet bears have capitulated,” he said. “No one’s willing to short this market, and even typically skeptical investors are getting pulled in. While it’s not a blow-off top yet, the odds of that happening are rising.” If sentiment keeps shifting and dip buyers remain aggressive, we could see a classic melt-up – and any near-term weakness over the next several weeks is likely to be bought aggressively, he said. “However, for now, bears are hibernating through the summer,” Hackett concluded. “We would lean toward being more bullish than bearish on US stocks through year-end, but not outside of a balanced portfolio based on risk,” said Anthony Saglimbene at Ameriprise. “However, that view is contingent on positive corporate profitability and economic growth this year, avoiding worst-case tariff scenarios, and investors remaining willing to ‘buy the dip’.” Markets have found reassurance in several developments, according to Invesco Global Market Strategy Office. “For one, the worst fears that manifested around trade in early April haven’t materialized, and key trade agreements are being signed,” the strategists said. “Tariff rates remain vastly elevated compared to last year, but they appear manageable. In our view, it’s likely that the cost can be shared between businesses and consumers without a meaningful impact on growth or inflation.” Invesco strategists also noted that what should really matter for stocks in the medium and long-term is earnings. “After a strong market rally, investors should prepare for renewed volatility in the near term,” said Mark Haefele at UBS Global Wealth Management. “Potential market dips could offer an opportunity for investors to build long-term exposure to stocks.” Corporate Highlights: Samsung Electronics Co. will produce AI semiconductors for Tesla Inc. in a new $16.5 billion pact that marks a win for its underperforming foundry division.

What Bloomberg Strategists say... “A European trade deal and new China talks will go a long way to bolster risk sentiment in the days ahead, with the Aug. 1 deadline now largely irrelevant. With some level of framework in place for Europe, China and Japan, investors are gaining more visibility into the contours of global trade — and so far, they’re not particularly worried.” —Tatiana Darie, Macro Strategist, Markets Live For the full analysis, click here.

Modern SD-WAN platforms now integrate AI-driven traffic optimization, zero-trust policy enforcement, and full-stack observability, allowing enterprises to manage complex networks with precision and speed. DHL, for instance, deployed SD-WAN across over 3,000 sites globally, reducing application downtime by 35% and improving cross-border logistics coordination through intelligent traffic steering. In India, NTPC integrated SD-WAN with IoT-based systems at 12 thermal power plants to enable secure, real-time monitoring of energy output and emissions, cutting incident response times by over 40%. In the BFSI sector, Axis Bank implemented a secure SD-WAN framework across 5,000+ branches, achieving 25% faster onboarding of new locations and enabling consistent policy enforcement for customer-facing applications. Additionally, more than 60% of enterprises using SD-WAN report measurable improvements in cloud application performance and operational visibility within the first year of deployment. These outcomes illustrate that SD-WAN is no longer just a network upgrade; it is becoming central to how enterprises drive uptime, scale securely, and meet compliance goals across distributed environments. As edge sites proliferate and workload distribution intensifies, the demand for integrated, intelligent SD-WAN frameworks is expected to grow rapidly. Request Sample Pages@ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/requestsampleNew.asp?id=53110642 Service offering segment is expected to have a higher growth rate during the forecast period Within the SD-WAN landscape, professional and managed services, including consulting, implementation, training, and support, are expected to register higher growth over the forecast period. This reflects the growing enterprise need for robust software and appliance-based solutions and for lifecycle support that ensures rapid, secure, and optimized deployments. A strong illustration of this shift is the collaboration between Deutsche Bank and Cisco, where Cisco's professional services enabled SD-WAN deployment across 500 branches, leading to a 40% reduction in rollout timelines and a more than 50% drop in post-deployment troubleshooting incidents. In another case, Ascension Health in the US partnered with Fortinet to integrate SD-WAN appliances across its hospital network. With tailored training and on-site support, the health system achieved a 60% decrease in misconfiguration errors and a 45% improvement in SLA compliance within six months. This trend is reinforced by recent findings indicating that over 70% of enterprises identify internal skill gaps as a major barrier to SD-WAN adoption. As network complexity increases due to zero-trust mandates, cloud sprawl, and edge connectivity, organizations are prioritizing solutions that are bundled with expert-led professional and managed services, making the services segment critical to sustained growth and performance optimization in this market. Large enterprises are expected to register a larger market size during the forecast period Large enterprises are expected to witness a larger share in the SD-WAN Market as they scale digital operations globally and demand unified, secure, and policy-driven networking. These enterprises often operate across numerous sites, requiring software and appliances integrated with professional services such as consulting, implementation, training, and ongoing managed support. Walmart, for example, partnered with HPE Aruba to deploy EdgeConnect SD-WAN appliances across 1,200 stores, leveraging a full suite of professional services. The initiative improved application performance by 50% during high-traffic retail periods and enabled centralized control over all network policies. Similarly, Toyota Motor Corporation implemented Cisco Catalyst SD-WAN across operations in 30 countries. Cisco's consulting and implementation services were instrumental in reducing configuration lead times by 70% and achieving 95% policy uniformity across its global network. Supporting this, an internal 2025 enterprise network survey from Morgan Stanley indicated that more than 65% of large enterprises now rely on SD-WAN bundled with managed services to streamline multicloud access and enhance security posture. These cases demonstrate how SD-WAN, when combined with expert services, is becoming a strategic enabler for global enterprise resilience, compliance, and agility. Inquire Before Buying@ https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Enquiry_Before_BuyingNew.asp?id=53110642 North America is projected to register the largest market size during the forecast period North America remains the largest regional market for SD-WAN, supported by its advanced cloud and networking infrastructure, a high concentration of technology-centric enterprises, and a mature ecosystem of managed service providers. Organizations are adopting SD-WAN solutions that integrate software, appliances, and professional services to meet complex compliance and operational needs. In March 2025, Bell Canada launched a managed SD-WAN service in partnership with Cisco using the Catalyst and Meraki platforms, delivering connectivity to more than 2,500 enterprise clients. Enterprises leveraging this offering reported a 55% reduction in internal project overhead and a 40% acceleration in service activation timelines. Likewise, JPMorgan Chase implemented Fortinet's SD-WAN across over 4,000 U.S. branches, combining it with managed support services to uphold zero-trust policies and secure multicloud connections. This resulted in a 30% decrease in security incidents linked to misconfigurations. Market patterns also reveal that over 50% of North American enterprises prefer managed deployments in regulated industries such as finance and healthcare. This explains how the region's mature digital environment and readiness for secure, service-backed deployments are reinforcing its leadership in the global SD-WAN landscape.

Micron's stock still looks cheap as the next AI-fueled memory boom heats up. Cisco's business is stabilizing as more companies ramp up their AI infrastructure upgrades. 10 stocks we like better than AT&T \u203a With the S&P 500 hovering near its record highs and looking historically expensive at 30 times earnings, it might not seem like the best time to buy tech stocks. However, that's only true if you plan to chase the sector's most beloved high-growth stocks. If you focus on the value plays that are trading at lower valuations but still have irons in the fire, then there are plenty of tech stocks that are worth adding to your portfolio. Let's review three of those appealing discount plays: AT&T (NYSE: T), Micron Technology (NASDAQ: MU), and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO). AT&T, one of the largest telecom companies in America, reinvented itself over the past few years by spinning off DirecTV, Time Warner, and its smaller media assets to strengthen its core 5G wireless and fiber businesses. By abandoning its misguided digital media ambitions, it simplified its business and freed up a lot of cash to expand its telecom business. AT&T generates most of its revenue from its wireless business, which served 118 million subscribers in its latest quarter. Its wireless postpaid business gained 1.7 million subscribers in 2023, 1.7 million subscribers in 2024, and another 725,000 subscribers in the first half of 2025. Its fiber business has also been expanding at a healthy clip. The robust growth of its wireless and fiber segments is offsetting the secular softness of its business wireline segment. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect AT&T's adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3%. It trades at less than 7 times this year's adjusted EBITDA and it pays a hefty forward dividend yield of 4%. That low valuation and high yield make it a safe stock to buy in this frothy market. Micron is one of the world's leading producers of DRAM and NAND memory chips. It controls smaller slices of both markets than South Korea's Samsung and SK Hynix, but it manufactures denser DRAM chips than its larger rivals. Micron's growth usually follows the boom-and-bust cycles of the memory market. The last bust happened in 2023 when the PC market cooled off from its pandemic-driven growth spurt, the 5G upgrade cycle slowed down, and data centers prioritized their purchases of artificial intelligence (AI)-accelerating GPUs over new memory chips. However, its growth is accelerating again as the PC market stabilizes, smartphone sales rise, and its data center customers install more solid-state drives (SSDs) and high-bandwidth memory (HBM) chips to support the newest AI applications. That new boom cycle won't end any time soon. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027 (which ends in September 2027), analysts expect its revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow at a CAGR of 27% and 45%, respectively. With an enterprise value of $133 billion, its stock looks like a bargain at just 7 times this year's adjusted EBITDA. It could still take years for Micron's current AI-driven growth cycle to peak -- and its stock could have plenty of room to rise before it runs out of steam. Cisco is the largest networking hardware and software provider in the world. It bundles together a broad range of campus, branch, wide-area networking (WAN), and data center solutions in its end-to-end deployments, and it increases the stickiness of that ecosystem with integrated cybersecurity tools and enterprise collaboration services. Cisco struggled over the past five years as the pandemic throttled its sales and disrupted its supply chains. As it overcame some of those challenges in fiscal 2023 (which ended in July 2023), its customers ramped up their hardware orders again. But as interest rates rose and the macro headwinds intensified, those customers throttled their hardware deployments. As a result, Cisco's inventories rose and its orders slowed down. Cisco's business is stabilizing as it expands its security and observability segments, locks more customers into its sticky subscriptions and services, and benefits from the growing demand of networking infrastructure upgrades for AI-oriented data centers. From fiscal 2024 to fiscal 2027, analysts expect its revenue and earnings per share (EPS) to grow at a CAGR of 5% and 9%, respectively. That's a solid growth rate for a stock that trades at just 17 times its forward adjusted earnings. It also pays a decent forward dividend yield of 2.4%. Cisco isn't an exciting stock, but it could be a great place to park your cash and profit from the long-term growth of the cloud and AI markets.

U.S. President Donald Trump's ongoing global trade negotiations have led to an uncertain economic environment, prompting businesses to reassess significant investments, which has hurt demand for Fortinet's services. The cybersecurity firm expects to generate revenue between $1.67 billion and $1.73 billion for the third quarter. The midpoint of this range is just shy of analysts' average estimate of $1.71 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG. Fortinet offers integrated cybersecurity solutions, including firewalls, intrusion prevention systems and cloud-based threat protection, and competes with companies such as Palo Alto Networks, Cisco Systems and Check Point Software Technologies. Consolidation in the industry is pressuring providers like Fortinet, as rivals such as Palo Alto Networks move to expand aggressively, which said last month it will buy Israeli peer CyberArk Software, for about $25 billion. Fortinet raised its forecast for annual billings to a range of $7.33 billion to $7.48 billion, up from the prior range of $7.20 billion to $7.40 billion. The company posted revenue of $1.63 billion for the second quarter ended June 30, in line with estimates. Adjusted profit for the quarter stood at 64 cents per share, beating estimates of 59 cents per share.

(CSCO) is Attracting Investor Attention: Here is What You Should Know Cisco Systems (CSCO) has been one of the most searched-for stocks on Zacks.com lately. So, you might want to look at some of the facts that could shape the stock's performance in the near term. Over the past month, shares of this seller of routers, switches, software and services have returned +1.7%, compared to the Zacks S&P 500 composite's +1.9% change. During this period, the Zacks Computer - Networking industry, which Cisco falls in, has gained 1.3%. The key question now is: What could be the stock's future direction? While media releases or rumors about a substantial change in a company's business prospects usually make its stock 'trending' and lead to an immediate price change, there are always some fundamental facts that eventually dominate the buy-and-hold decision-making. Here at Zacks, we prioritize appraising the change in the projection of a company's future earnings over anything else. That's because we believe the present value of its future stream of earnings is what determines the fair value for its stock. We essentially look at how sell-side analysts covering the stock are revising their earnings estimates to reflect the impact of the latest business trends. And if earnings estimates go up for a company, the fair value for its stock goes up. A higher fair value than the current market price drives investors' interest in buying the stock, leading to its price moving higher. This is why empirical research shows a strong correlation between trends in earnings estimate revisions and near-term stock price movements. Cisco is expected to post earnings of $0.97 per share for the current quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +11.5%. Over the last 30 days, the Zacks Consensus Estimate has changed +0.2%. The consensus earnings estimate of $3.79 for the current fiscal year indicates a year-over-year change of +1.6%. This estimate has changed +0.5% over the last 30 days. For the next fiscal year, the consensus earnings estimate of $4.01 indicates a change of +5.9% from what Cisco is expected to report a year ago. Over the past month, the estimate has changed +0.2%. Having a strong externally audited track record, our proprietary stock rating tool, the Zacks Rank, offers a more conclusive picture of a stock's price direction in the near term, since it effectively harnesses the power of earnings estimate revisions. Due to the size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, Cisco is rated Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). The chart below shows the evolution of the company's forward 12-month consensus EPS estimate: Even though a company's earnings growth is arguably the best indicator of its financial health, nothing much happens if it cannot raise its revenues. It's almost impossible for a company to grow its earnings without growing its revenue for long periods. Therefore, knowing a company's potential revenue growth is crucial. For Cisco, the consensus sales estimate for the current quarter of $14.6 billion indicates a year-over-year change of +7.1%. For the current and next fiscal years, $56.59 billion and $59.18 billion estimates indicate +5.2% and +4.6% changes, respectively. Cisco reported revenues of $14.15 billion in the last reported quarter, representing a year-over-year change of +11.4%. EPS of $0.96 for the same period compares with $0.88 a year ago. Compared to the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $14.06 billion, the reported revenues represent a surprise of +0.65%. The EPS surprise was +5.49%. The company beat consensus EPS estimates in each of the trailing four quarters. The company topped consensus revenue estimates each time over this period. Without considering a stock's valuation, no investment decision can be efficient. In predicting a stock's future price performance, it's crucial to determine whether its current price correctly reflects the intrinsic value of the underlying business and the company's growth prospects. While comparing the current values of a company's valuation multiples, such as price-to-earnings (P/E), price-to-sales (P/S), and price-to-cash flow (P/CF), with its own historical values helps determine whether its stock is fairly valued, overvalued, or undervalued, comparing the company relative to its peers on these parameters gives a good sense of the reasonability of the stock's price. The Zacks Value Style Score (part of the Zacks Style Scores system), which pays close attention to both traditional and unconventional valuation metrics to grade stocks from A to F (an A is better than a B; a B is better than a C; and so on), is pretty helpful in identifying whether a stock is overvalued, rightly valued, or temporarily undervalued. Cisco is graded D on this front, indicating that it is trading at a premium to its peers. Click here to see the values of some of the valuation metrics that have driven this grade. The facts discussed here and much other information on Zacks.com might help determine whether or not it's worthwhile paying attention to the market buzz about Cisco. However, its Zacks Rank #2 does suggest that it may outperform the broader market in the near term. Want the latest recommendations from Zacks Investment Research?

By Elias Habbar-Baylac and Alex Wilkins India's agriculture is at a turning point, with nearly 42% of its workforce reliant on small farms (IFAD). The sector faces mounting pressure: water scarcity, rising debt, and up to 15% post-harvest losses (NABARD study). In the last three years, 70% of smallholders have lost half or more of a crop, with 71% reporting severe climate impacts and incomes down 15.7% since 2022 (2024 Farmer Voice survey). Ultimately, by 2030, India is projected to see a substantial 5.8% decline in working hours - equivalent to 34 million full-time jobs - due to heat stress (WEF). Yet, the promise of AI-driven innovation is real: investing in 15 foundational agricultural datasets could unlock $65 billion in value for Indian farmers (WEF), making food systems more resilient and profitable. According to the India Digital Agriculture Council, only 30% of Indian farmers were using digital tools-representing a vast, untapped opportunity for climate-smart transformation. The Cisco Foundation's Regenerative Future Fund and Climate Grants Portfolio support tech ventures and nonprofits that combine technology and farmers' engagement for a more regenerative future. This means scaling reforestation, soil health, carbon markets, and nature-based solutions across India. Here are a few examples. Mitti Labs: Transforming Rice for Climate and Livelihoods Rice farming consumes 30% of the world's freshwater (WFP) and produces 12% of global methane emissions (WWF)-making it central to India's food and climate goals. Mitti Labs is pioneering a tech-driven approach to decarbonize rice production and reward regenerative practices. Supported by the Regenerative Future Fund, an impact-first venture fund, Mitti Labs' AI-powered digital Monitoring, Reporting, and Verification (dMRV) platform combines satellite and sensor data with field support to help farmers adopt Alternate Wetting and Drying (AWD). AWD reduces methane and water use by up to 40% while maintaining or increasing yields. According to Mitti Labs, here are a few ways they are gaining traction: Field results are compelling: In Telangana's Warangal, AWD cut water use by 37% while maintaining yields. In Haryana's Safidon, AWD reduced water by 19% with no yield loss. These results mean lower methane emissions, improved water conservation, and new income streams for thousands of climate-vulnerable farmers. Marketplace leadership: Partnering with Carbon Place, Good Carbon, Ceezer, and Cloverly, Mitti Labs enables secure purchases of methane-based carbon credits for buyers globally that would like to support avoidance efforts. Its entire 2025 offset supply is fully allocated, with more set for 2026 and 2027. Global recognition: Sylvera, a carbon ratings agency, called Mitti Labs a \""key enabler\"" of methane reduction in rice (Sylvera, 2024). As Madhuri, a Mitti Labs Field Manager in Warangal, shares, \""It is encouraging to see more and more farmers understanding our AWD programs and coming forward to join our movement.\"" Community leaders echo the impact: \""One in every four farmers in Warangal is now participating.\"" Since 2023, Mitti Labs has onboarded 30,000 farmers, expanded digital Monitoring, Reporting and Verification (dMRV) capabilities to 10 million hectares, and launched projects with partners like Syngenta Foundation and The Nature Conservancy. Their pipeline spans India and Southeast Asia, targeting 200,000+ farmers and over one million carbon avoidance credits per year. With tech and new markets, Mitti Labs is shaping the future of rice decarbonization. Digital Green: AI for Climate-Resilient, Regenerative Farming Digital Green is transforming agricultural advisory services for smallholder farmers through its AI-powered assistant, Farmer.Chat. This innovative platform addresses the need for timely, localized, and actionable farm and market recommendations - especially for resource-poor, low-literacy, and low-connectivity populations. Farmers and extension workers can resolve queries using voice, text, images, or video in regional languages. The platform provides crucial information such as weather forecasts, crop and pest disease warnings, and reminders for regenerative practices. Supported by the Cisco Foundation's Climate Grant Portfolio in 2024, Farmer.Chat has reached over 460,000 smallholder farmers since its launch in 2022. Evidence shows it drives behavior changes, particularly in adopting regenerative practices like improved crop nutrition, disease management, soil health, and organic fertilization. With women making up over 42% of India's agricultural labor force - and facing barriers like lower mobile phone ownership - Digital Green's design enables climate-smart advice to reach those who need it. As CEO Rikin Gandhi shares, \""Thanks to partners like Cisco Foundation, we're helping build a more resilient, equitable food system-one voice, one decision, one farmer at a time.\"" Farmers for Forests: AI-Powered Monitoring for Reforestation Farmers for Forests (F4F) is using AI to revolutionize monitoring in agroforestry practices, particularly in regions facing significant tree cover and biodiversity loss - India alone has lost 5 million trees in two decades. With support from the Cisco Foundation's Climate Grants Portfolio, F4F is developing an open-source AI platform using drone and satellite data for scalable, accurate monitoring. The platform detects even small trees under four feet - often missed by traditional satellite models - and monitors carbon sequestration and irrigation infrastructure. It integrates computer vision models like Meta's Detectron-2 and DeepForest, plus AI trained on tree datasets for species classification and biomass estimation. These tools enable carbon estimation and biodiversity mapping, supporting holistic ecological restoration. F4F's vision is to enable high-integrity, data-backed reforestation and agroforestry across one million hectares by 2030. Their technology empowers grassroots implementers-especially smallholder and tribal communities-with transparent, cost-effective, and scalable monitoring, fostering improved tree survival, enhanced biodiversity, and the creation of jobs. The platform's focus on vulnerable farmers enables AI-driven insights to translate into tangible benefits like increased water security, improved soil health, and greater resilience through efficient resource management and carbon sequestration. Harnessing AI for Agriculture in India In addition to the Regenerative Future Fund and the Climate Grant Portfolio, Cisco's India CSR program is also working to support the agritech startup ecosystem in India through Krishi Mangal (with Social Alpha ), supporting startups like TraceX (advanced AI-ML supply chain compliance and deforestation monitoring), Satyukt Analytics (satellite and AI-powered insights for agriculture) and Jaljeevika (AI-driven chatbots for aquaculture, boosting productivity and traceability). Cisco and the Cisco Foundation's holistic investment strategy aligns with global recommendations: build digital infrastructure, data ecosystems, and scalable AI applications for India's 150 million smallholders, building on AI's 40% growth rate in the last five years ( WEF ). This platform approach isn't just about tech - it's about transforming yields, transparency, and resilience at scale.

Sign Up Now! Before a company reports earnings, implied volatility is usually high because the market is unsure about the outcome of the report. Speculators and hedgers create huge demand for the company\u2019s options which increases the implied volatility, and therefore, the price of options. After the earnings announcement, implied volatility usually drops back down to normal levels. Let\u2019s take a look at the expected range for these stocks. To calculate the expected range, look up the option chain and add together the price of the at-the-money put option and the at-the-money call option. Use the first expiry date after the earnings date. While this approach is not as accurate as a detailed calculation, it does serve as a reasonably accurate estimate.

Bearish traders can look at selling bear call spreads outside the expected range. Bullish traders can sell bull put spreads outside the expected range, or look at naked puts for those with a higher risk tolerance. Neutral traders can look at iron condors. When trading iron condors over earnings, it is best to keep the short strikes outside the expected range. When trading options over earnings, it is best to stick to risk defined strategies and keep position size small. If the stock makes a larger than expected move and the trade suffers a full loss, it should not have more than a 1-3% effect on your portfolio.

Faced with pressure from stakeholders and competitors, many companies have pushed forward with slashing positions that they believe the tech is capable of handling. Last week, telecommunications firm Altice cut 1,000 employees, or 16% of its workforce, with AI creating redundancies among some jobs as the company cut costs. READ ALSO: Big Tech\u2019s AGI Dreams Overshadowed by Smaller, In-Demand AI Advances and How AI-Powered Robotics Face Obstacles in Real-World Scenarios Altice\u2019s decision is far from singular. Major firms like Klarna, UPS, Duolingo and Cisco have used AI to replace workers. Though the tech comes with its fair share of risks, companies are leveraging it to reduce labor costs, increase productivity and garner returns on their investments in the tech. Some may be feeling the squeeze of stakeholder scrutiny and competitive pressure, said Lisa Highfield, principal director of research and advisory services at HR research firm McLean & Co. \u201cWhen we see headlines such as 100 jobs laid off because of AI capabilities, competitors are bound to pay attention to that, and they don\u2019t want to fall behind that curve,\u201d Highfield said. Questions remain, however, about whether AI is ready to become a member of the team rather than simply a tool. Highfield says it depends on the job and its specific tasks: Jobs involving \u201crepetitive, low-complexity knowledge tasks,\u201d such as answering frequently asked questions, summarizing, entering data and scheduling, will likely be the first to go. Assistant and clerk positions, for example, may have a \u201chigh exposure rate\u201d to AI. Additionally, anything with \u201cclear rules and delineated answers,\u201d such as writing templates or coding, is also ripe for automation. Many positions may have bits and pieces of their jobs automated, but \u201cnot necessarily the entire job holistically,\u201d said Highfield. \u201cJob security around that is really dependent on how much of your tasks are correlated to AI.\u201d Enterprises seeking automation need to look within their specific industries and organizations to figure out where it\u2019s a good fit, said Highfield. \u201cWe really need to understand how AI applies to our industry and the goals and tasks within an organization.\u201d Plus, many jobs themselves are in a period of change in the wake of AI. In the same way that lamplighters were replaced with electricians and mathematicians no longer need to do long division by hand, new opportunities will be revealed as others fade. \u201cIt\u2019s not just cutting jobs, it\u2019s what jobs are we creating,\u201d said Highfield. However, enterprises also need to understand the risks associated with making the leap into AI, said Highfield. Along with potential brand and reputation damage, enterprises open themselves up to regulatory scrutiny and declining workforce morale. The tech itself still has issues, too, including a propensity for data security slip-ups, hallucination and bias, especially as tasks become more complex. Many companies may be better off starting with upskilling and augmentation of jobs, rather than replacing them with AI entirely, she said. \u201cThere\u2019s a shift towards providing capabilities within the organization for our workers so that they can work with the technology.\u201d This post first appeared on The Daily Upside.

Protecting the integrity and confidentiality of the message is the aim, especially since it is being transmitted over perhaps dangerous networks like the internet. The rising frequency of email data breaches and cyber threats, strict regulatory compliance rules, development of cloud-based services and remote work, increasing awareness and adoption of advanced encryption technologies, proliferation of mobile devices and BYOD policies, and others drive the email encryption industry. Email Encryption Market Growth Factors and Dynamics Proliferation of mobile devices and BYOD policies Growing use of mobile devices and Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) rules are main elements propelling the email encryption business forward. As so many workers access business email systems especially on personal devices under BYOD policies by laptops, cellphones, and tablets, the prospective attack surface for cybercrime has expanded. Email encryption becomes vitally essential for safe transmission of private information over unsecured or public networks. Moreover, endpoint security cannot be harmonized since BYOD scenarios build diverse device ecosystems. Without decryption keys, encryption locks email data, making it inaccessible even in circumstances of missing or corrupted equipment.

Request a Customized Copy of the Email Encryption Market Report @ https://www.custommarketinsights.com/report/email-encryption-market/ Growing number of cyberthreats Rising email encryption is a result of growing cyberthreats, including ransomware, phishing, and man-in-the-middle attacks. Approaching security of communication channels proactively becomes even more crucial. Since email encryption maintains the integrity and privacy of communication, it is a required line of security against evolving risks. Furthermore, the industry is gaining importance due to the increasing need for strong encryption solutions that arises from hackers taking advantage of weaknesses. To reduce the likelihood of cyber vulnerabilities, top companies are also introducing cutting-edge technologies by means of mergers and acquisitions (M&As). Leading cybersecurity and compliance company Proofpoint, Inc. announced in December 2023, for instance, that it had successfully acquired Tessian, a trailblazer in the use of modern artificial intelligence (AI) to automatically identify and defend against both accidental data loss and developing email threats. This acquisition will provide businesses the most all-encompassing defense against human layer vulnerabilities using whichever deployment strategy they decide upon. Interoperability issues Compatibility issues may arise from multiple email encryption technologies\u2019 lack of standardization, particularly when different organizations utilize different systems. Since recipients using various email clients or systems might not be able to correctly decrypt or access encrypted emails, this might impede smooth communication and collaboration.

Furthermore, we expect the growing significance of organized retailing to drive the market's future growth. Key Trends & Drivers Shift Toward Autonomous IT Operations: Increasingly, organizations are moving into autonomous IT operations where systems self-monitor, heal, and optimize with the minimum amount of human intervention. Generative AI, in this particular scenario, plays a substantial role in producing incident-response suggestions, predicting issues, and performing all sorts of routine maintenance-type work. The trend is supported by the intention to free up manual workloads, facilitate faster response times, and ensure that availability is at an all-time high. In such an IT operation environment, autonomy certainly comes into force, especially in very large-scale, distributed environments where manual management is next to impossible. While enterprises are gearing up for operational resiliency and cost efficiency, this trend toward AI-led autonomy strengthens the demand for generative AI applications in IT operations. Integration with DevOps and CI/CD Pipelines: Generative AI is being channeled into DevOps and Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines to enhance software delivery speed and reliability. By running tests, validating deployment, and monitoring performance, generative AI acts to ensure smooth rollouts and quick resolutions to arising issues. The AI can simulate the outcome of a deployment and even forecast the associated risks before any change goes to production. This, therefore, complements the trend surrounding the rise of agile methodologies, where rapid iterations and little-to-no downtime are essential. Hence, the compatibility of development with IT operations continues to rank high as a strategy in the adoption of AI-powered DevOps integration, which feeds into market growth in the generative AI space. Request a Customized Copy of the Generative AI in IT Operations Market Report @ https://www.custommarketinsights.com/request-for-customization/?reportid=70882 Rise of Explainable and Transparent AI Models: The increasing demand for explainable and transparent AI is expected to propel the demand for the growth of the market. Among key decision-making processes in IT operations, a stakeholder needs to know what AI has done and the reason for it. Vendors are responding with models that do not only resolve problems but also increase explainability by providing an audit trail and pertinent context. It does build trust and encourages collaboration between human operators and AI systems. In regulated industries, such collaboration is vital, where accountability or compliance is absolutely necessary. Explainable generative AI enhances the confidence of users and promotes wider use in sensitive and complex IT environments. Increased Use by Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs): Whereas large enterprises led the initial adoption, SMEs seem to be now stepping in. Greater availability of cheaper AI tools and easier-to-use interfaces means smaller businesses are harnessing the tools now to perform IT operations, lessen the incidence of failure, and reduce the cost of operations. Cloud-hosted solutions, pay-as-you-go price models, and low-code/no-code builders make generative AI very feasible for smaller businesses. The democratization of AI is creating opportunities that were previously exclusive to large corporations. The adoption of IT in operations-related tools by SMEs is expected to increase dramatically over the next few years as they continue their digital transformation journey. Expansion of AI-Driven Security Operations (SecOps): Increasingly, generative AI finds application in Security Operations (SecOps) for the identification of threats and predictions of vulnerabilities, as well as to help frame automated responses. IT teams are now under pressure to successfully secure environments due to the increasing sophistication and frequency of cyber threats. AI models can also analyze security logs, identify anomalies, and simulate attack scenarios, thereby recommending proactive actions. Generative AI within SecOps enables rapid threat detection and reduces response time. Overall, as companies focus more on cybersecurity and following rules, the combination of IT operations and security through AI-driven platforms is rapidly becoming a major factor for growth in today's market. Real-Time Data Processing and Edge Intelligence: With the surge of IoT and edge computing technologies, now IT environments are more decentralized and in need of real-time monitoring and decision-making at the edge. Generative AI is being leveraged to work in these situations to perform local analysis, incident detection, and remediation, therefore reducing latency and enabling business continuity for critical applications. The real time data processing further supports the systems that are capable of adapting dynamically to performance conditions. With the increased demand for responsiveness and low-latency operations from sectors such as manufacturing, logistics, and telecom, generative AI working on the edge is gaining momentum toward becoming a massive trend for innovation and market expansion.

The company expects next quarter\u2019s revenue to be around $14.75 billion, coming in 0.8% above analysts\u2019 estimates.

Founded in 1984 by a husband and wife team who wanted computers at Stanford to talk to computers at UC Berkeley, Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) designs and sells networking equipment, security solutions, and collaboration tools that help businesses connect their systems and secure their digital operations. A company\u2019s long-term sales performance can indicate its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. With $56.65 billion in revenue over the past 12 months, Cisco is a behemoth in the business services sector and benefits from economies of scale, giving it an edge in distribution. This also enables it to gain more leverage on its fixed costs than smaller competitors and the flexibility to offer lower prices. However, its scale is a double-edged sword because finding new avenues for growth becomes difficult when you already have a substantial market presence. To expand meaningfully, Cisco likely needs to tweak its prices, innovate with new offerings, or enter new markets. As you can see below, Cisco\u2019s 2.8% annualized revenue growth over the last five years was sluggish. This shows it failed to generate demand in any major way and is a rough starting point for our analysis. We at StockStory place the most emphasis on long-term growth, but within business services, a half-decade historical view may miss recent innovations or disruptive industry trends. Cisco\u2019s recent performance shows its demand has slowed as its revenue was flat over the last two years. This quarter, Cisco grew its revenue by 7.6% year on year, and its $14.67 billion of revenue was in line with Wall Street\u2019s estimates. Company management is currently guiding for a 6.6% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter. Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 5.1% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years. This projection is above the sector average and implies its newer products and services will fuel better top-line performance. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we\u2019ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link. Operating margin is a key measure of profitability. Think of it as net income - the bottom line - excluding the impact of taxes and interest on debt, which are less connected to business fundamentals. Cisco has been a well-oiled machine over the last five years. It demonstrated elite profitability for a business services business, boasting an average operating margin of 24.6%. Looking at the trend in its profitability, Cisco\u2019s operating margin decreased by 4.4 percentage points over the last five years. This raises questions about the company\u2019s expense base because its revenue growth should have given it leverage on its fixed costs, resulting in better economies of scale and profitability. This quarter, Cisco generated an operating margin profit margin of 23.5%, up 4.3 percentage points year on year. This increase was a welcome development and shows it was more efficient. Revenue trends explain a company\u2019s historical growth, but the long-term change in earnings per share (EPS) points to the profitability of that growth \u2013 for example, a company could inflate its sales through excessive spending on advertising and promotions. Cisco\u2019s weak 3.5% annual EPS growth over the last five years aligns with its revenue performance. This tells us it maintained its per-share profitability as it expanded. Like with revenue, we analyze EPS over a shorter period to see if we are missing a change in the business. For Cisco, its two-year annual EPS declines of 1% show it\u2019s continued to underperform. These results were bad no matter how you slice the data. In Q2, Cisco reported adjusted EPS of $0.99, up from $0.87 in the same quarter last year. This print beat analysts\u2019 estimates by 1.3%. Over the next 12 months, Wall Street expects Cisco\u2019s full-year EPS of $3.80 to grow 5.4%. It was good to see Cisco provide revenue guidance for next quarter that slightly beat analysts\u2019 expectations. We were also happy its EPS guidance for next quarter narrowly outperformed Wall Street\u2019s estimates. Overall, this print had some key positives. Investors were likely hoping for more, and shares traded down 2.2% to $68.74 immediately following the results. Is Cisco an attractive investment opportunity right now? If you\u2019re making that decision, you should consider the bigger picture of valuation, business qualities, as well as the latest earnings.

Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) tackle these challenges through deep packet inspection, intrusion prevention, and application-layer filtering, crucial in industrial settings to safeguard against cyber-physical threats. Simultaneously, the global shift to remote work amid the COVID-19 pandemic intensifies the demand for advanced security solutions. NGFWs, equipped with sophisticated threat detection, ensure secure remote access and data transmission, countering the cyberattack surge. This increased demand aligns with the evolving cybersecurity landscape, emphasizing NGFWs as crucial for enterprise security compliance. Trend: ML-Powered Next-Generation Firewall The emergence of ML-powered next-generation Firewalls represents a transformative trend in cybersecurity, shifting from reactive to proactive threat prevention. With inline machine learning, zero-delay signatures, and automated policy recommendations, these firewalls provide instantaneous threat detection, rapid updates, and streamlined security administration. This technology trend, emphasizing proactive prevention and automation, marks a significant paradigm shift in the Next-Generation Firewall market. Trend: Zero Trust An emerging trend in the NGFW market is zero-trust technology adoption. With zero trust, no network traffic or user is inherently trusted, requiring rigorous verification for every request. Zero-trust firewalls employ granular policies based on contextual factors and user identity to prevent lateral movement and data exfiltration. This approach demands integrating identity management, encryption, and monitoring for enhanced security. Trend: Blockchain Application Firewall (BAF) The next-generation firewall (NGFW) landscape is witnessing a transformative trend with innovations like the Blockchain Application Firewall (BAF). BAF seamlessly integrates with Identity and Access Management (IAM) servers, ensuring secure connections and familiar sign-in procedures with multi-factor authentication. It plays a pivotal role in securing organizations managing numerous keys, implementing access restrictions based on dynamic rule configurations, and providing an additional layer of security for connections exposed to blockchain nodes. This trend, exemplified by solutions like the Kaleido BAF, reflects the growing importance of blockchain-integrated firewalls in enhancing NGFWs for robust security in blockchain applications. By offering, the service segment accounts for the highest CAGR during the forecast period. The rapid growth of the service segment in the Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) market can be attributed to the rising complexity of NGFW solutions and the increasing shortage of security expertise within organizations. NGFWs, with their diverse features, pose a challenge for effective management, prompting organizations to turn to Managed Services Providers (MSPs) with specialized NGFW expertise. As the cybersecurity talent gap widens, organizations struggle to find skilled NGFW administrators, making MSPs a valuable resource for readily available expertise. MSPs offer enhanced security posture and threat response capabilities, including continuous monitoring and SIEM integration, providing real-time detection and response. Outsourcing NGFW management to service providers addresses the expertise shortage. It delivers cost savings, economies of scale, and improved operational efficiency, driving the fastest growth in the NGFW market's service segment. Inquire Before Buying: https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Enquiry_Before_BuyingNew.asp?id=32240698 By organization size, the large enterprise segment accounts for a larger market share. The dominance of large enterprises in the next-generation firewall (NGFW) market stems from several key factors, such as its expansive attack surface and data sensitivity, compliance with strict regulations, abundant budgetary resources, and IT expertise. With vast and complex network infrastructures, large enterprises attract targeted cyberattacks, necessitating robust security measures provided by NGFWs to safeguard sensitive data. These organizations, subject to stringent industry regulations like HIPAA, PCI DSS, and GDPR, leverage NGFWs to ensure compliance with specific security controls and data protection measures. With larger IT budgets and dedicated teams of skilled professionals, large enterprises invest in advanced NGFW solutions, deploying high-performance appliances and employing cybersecurity teams to manage and optimize them. The need for centralized security management and scalability further drives the adoption of NGFWs, enabling consistent security policies and effective threat detection across geographically dispersed locations and diverse network segments. Opportunity: Advanced Technologies Propel Growth in the Next-Generation Firewall Market The Next-Generation Firewall (NGFW) market is experiencing transformative growth through the integration of advanced technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), threat intelligence feeds, deception technology, sandboxing, and security information and event management (SIEM). This integration elevates NGFW capabilities by enabling real-time threat detection, behavioral analysis, and adaptive responses. Key players like Palo Alto Networks, Cisco, and Check Point leverage these technologies, providing proactive security solutions against dynamic cyber threats. As organizations prioritize proactive threat management, incorporating advanced technologies becomes pivotal, ensuring continuous evolution and effectiveness in addressing the evolving cybersecurity landscape. This marks a significant growth opportunity for the NGFW market.

Because when comparing two companies whose names sound identical, you either have to see it in print, or explain which one you mean. Back in my days of managing money, when giving instructions to a trader verbally, I had to be careful to include the ticker symbol, not simply say Cisco (CSCO). Or was it Sysco (SYY)? As it turns out, the two stocks actually make a nice pair because they are such polar opposites.

I\u2019ve found over the years that they each represent the constant tug-of-war between investor emotions. We want growth stocks, with strong earnings acceleration, on the cutting edge of technology. We also want stability. Some have taken to comparing Nvidia\u2019s (NVDA) leading edge in AI to CSCO\u2019s role in leading the charge to power the internet. In perhaps a cautionary tale, CSCO surged into the dot-com bubble top in 2000, but then lost the vast majority of its value. It took 25 years to recover that peak stock price. Yet CSCO and NVDA are each part of today\u2019s Dow Jones Industrial Average ($DOWI). You might know the other half of the pair, SYY, if you\u2019ve ever eaten at a restaurant. Sysco supplies everything from napkins to tuna salad. Whatever a restaurant needs! And it is the biggest company in its niche. When we consider the 180-degree difference between the (computer) chips business of CSCO and the (potato) chips business of SYY, we can start to understand how this stock pair is a proxy for \u201crisk on\u201d versus \u201crisk off.\u201d This chart shows 6-month rolling returns of these two companies going back a few years. They are mirror images as often as they are in sync. I suspect there are many such pairs in this tech-dominated stock market. Now that we have separated the pair anecdotally and also shown their often divergent performance, let\u2019s compare the stocks in more detail. A few things stand out as I look at this custom snapshot I created using Barchart\u2019s stock comparison tool. CSCO, not unexpectedly, is more volatile, but in this bull market for tech stocks, it has outdistanced SYY over multiple time frames. Yet SYY has grown its earnings and revenue by greater rates over the past 5 years. Both stocks have decent yields for their sectors. CSCO trades for a higher multiple, but SYY at 17.6x times seems a bit high. It is in the food biz, not contributing to next-generation technology. That said, selling at less than 0.5x sales, SYY is a bargain on that measure. CSCO\u2019s earnings threaten to alter its path, which has been decidedly higher. That 50-day moving average in green is rising nicely. And the percentage price oscillator (PPO) at the bottom has some kick to it. Still, earnings are THE biggest threat to any stock\u2019s rally. Alternatively, the stock rallying into earnings as it has could also be the start of a bigger move. SYY announced earnings 2 weeks ago, and the stock has floated higher since that time. The PPO indicator at the bottom of the chart may be foreshadowing a top here. Whether you invest in tech, consumer stocks or both, it helps to understand how they differ. And what they have in common. And in the case of CSCO and SYY, it helps to memorize your stock symbols, to avoid confusion. Ironically, the SYY-CSCO combination might actually work best as a pair. And while that particular fact is a part coincidence, based on the company names, it reminds us that there\u2019s still room for some good, old-fashioned diversification amid the \u201ctech or bust\u201d mentality that continues to have the market\u2019s rapt attention.

Investors have scrambled this month to factor in a rate cut at the Federal Reserve\u2019s September meeting. A tame Consumer Price Index reading earlier this week only fed the narrative. But today's Producer Price Index reading has poked a hole in the view. The headline PPI Index rose 0.9% in July, well above the 0.2% consensus estimate. Prices were unchanged in June. Investors would be wise to include tariff-driven inflation as a risk to markets. Goldman Sachs and JPMorgan economists have begun to sound the alarm bells on a potential wave of inflation, which could push out the prospect of rate cuts. Read more: How the Fed rate decision affects your bank accounts, loans, credit cards, and investments \u201cRegardless of precisely how much tariffs move this year, the overall conclusion is that they are increasing materially relative to 2024. In isolation, that should create at least a short-run drag on GDP and boost to inflation, as well as having other economic effects,\u201d JPMorgan chief US economist Michael Feroli said. When Amazon (AMZN) goes big on something, usually the stock prices of its competitors get beaten up. The latest example came on Wednesday. Amazon announced plans to make adding groceries to same-day orders available in 2,300 cities by year-end, up from 1,000 cities. Albertson's (ACI) and Kroger (KR) \u2014 aka traditional grocers \u2014 saw their share prices nailed. Instacart was hammered too. Albertson's and Kroger's shares are slightly up this morning. The reaction reminds me of when Amazon bought Whole Foods for $13.7 billion in 2017. \""Every single retail executive alive should be scared to death,\"" I wrote as then-executive editor of TheStreet. The impact of Amazon's move won't be felt overnight, but just like the company's impact on department stores, the aftershocks will be felt over time. Here's how Wall Street is chiming in: \""Walmart generates 60% of sales from the grocery category and has done a great job building a delivery/pickup business. The grocery mix at large general merchandisers such as Walmart, Target, and Costco, has made the category of critical importance to Amazon. Businesses such as Instacart were created to deliver on behalf of existing grocers. DoorDash, Uber, and others have also entered the category. Along comes Amazon with an existing nationwide network of fulfillment centers and delivery trucks that seems to have finally figured out how to store and fulfill perishables in a way to support same-day efforts.\"" \u2014 Wedbush \""While Amazon\u2019s actions increase competitive intensity, we see the change as incremental in what remains a relatively rational competitive backdrop. Consumers should win as we believe traditional grocers (and some mass players) will likely respond by reducing or eliminating their own delivery fees over time.\"" \u2014 Evercore ISI Cisco is out with better-than-expected earnings and an outlook that came in higher than some estimates. The company touted its AI order book on its earnings call last night and momentum in its networking business. The stock is under pressure though. Some on the Street are concerned about sustaining the strength in its bread-and-butter network business and more sluggish growth in the security business. \""While Cisco clearly appears to have strong AI momentum here the focus will be on the trajectory of their security growth that at 9% was below expectations and can networking growth remain robust as we go through FY26 with more difficult compares,\"" Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani said. Cisco\u2019s new CEO Mark Patterson downplayed the concerns live on Opening Bid (video above). \""We saw very balanced growth across all of our geographies.

Patterson added that AI model training and buildout have been tailwinds for Cisco. \""AI is really the biggest driver in terms of the overall umbrella,\"" he added.

Here are today's research calls that investors need to know, as compiled by The Fly. Top 5 Upgrades: DA Davidson upgraded Salesforce (CRM) to Neutral from Underperform with an unchanged price target of $225. The firm notes Starboard increased its stake in Salesforce by 47% this quarter and \""another round of activist involvement may help the company correct course.\"" Raymond James upgraded Wingstop (WING) to Strong Buy from Outperform with an unchanged price target of $420. The firm remains confident that Wingstop's comparable sales can start to improve through September and accelerate further through Q4 as comparisons ease.

Par is proving to be the \""premiere\"" enterprise restaurant tech solution and deserves a premium multiple, contends BTIG. UBS upgraded Kennametal (KMT) to Neutral from Sell with a price target of $21, up from $19. The firm doesn't see an immediate downside catalyst following two years of negative organic growth and guidance calling for a third. H.C.

Target is now underperforming Walmart (WMT) on a comparable sales compound annual growth rate vs. 2019 and digital trends \""look very challenged,\"" the firm tells investors. HSBC downgraded Cisco (CSCO) to Hold from Buy with a $69 price target. The company's fiscal Q4 results and 2026 outlook missed HSBC's estimates as the networking segment slows, the firm tells investors in a research note.

BofA downgraded Spire (SR) to Underperform from Neutral with a price target of $76, down from $81. The firm sees limited near-term accretion from the company's acquisition of Piedmont Natural Gas given the purchase multiples and financing uncertainty. Top 5 Initiations: Susquehanna initiated coverage of Parker-Hannifin (PH) with a Positive rating and $860 price target. The company has positioned itself to capitalize on the more cyclically resilient growth trends in aerospace and defense, digitalization, electrification, and clean technologies, the firm tells investors in a research note.

Cantor Fitzgerald initiated coverage of Avalo Therapeutics (AVTX) with an Overweight rating and no price target. The firm says the company's lead drug AVTX-009 is an IL-1N2 antibody currently in a Phase 2 trial for hidradenitis suppurativa with a readout expected in mid-2026."", ""When workers\u2019 lives outside work are more fulfilling, it benefits employers too Many employers are demanding more from workers these days, pushing them to log as many hours as possible. Google, for example, told all its employees that they should expect to spend 60 or more hours in the office every week. Some tech companies are demanding 12-hour days, six days a week from their new hires. More job applicants in health care, engineering and consulting have been told to expect long hours than previously demanded due to a weak job market. On the other hand, companies such as Cisco, Booz Allen Hamilton and Intuit have earned a reputation of supporting a strong work-life balance, according to Glassdoor employee ratings. To promote work-life balance, they offer flexible work options, give workers tips on setting boundaries and provide benefits to promote mental and physical well-being, including mindfulness and meditation training and personal coaching outside of work. As a psychologist who studies workplace performance and well-being, I\u2019ve seen abundant evidence that overworking employees can actually make them less productive. Instead, research shows that when employees have the time and space to lead a fulfilling life outside work, such as being free to spend time with their families or pursue creative hobbies, it improves their performance on the job. For example, a team of researchers reviewed 70 studies looking at how managers support workers\u2019 family lives. They found that when supervisors show consideration for workers\u2019 personal roles as a family member, including providing help to workers and modeling work-family balance, those employees are more loyal and helpful on the job and are also less likely to think about quitting. Another study found that workers who could take on creative projects outside of work became more creative at work, regardless of their own personalities. This was true even for workers who didn\u2019t consider themselves to be very creative to start with, which suggests it was the workplace culture that really made a difference. When employers become obsessed with their workers\u2019 productivity, they can get hung up on tracking immediate goals such as the number of emails sent or sales calls made. But they tend to neglect other vital aspects of employees\u2019 lives that, perhaps somewhat ironically, sustain long-term productivity. Daniel Kahneman, the late psychologist whose research team won a Nobel Prize in economics, called this common misconception the \u201cfocusing illusion.\u201d In this case, many employers underestimate the hidden costs of making people work more hours than they can muster while maintaining some semblance of work-life balance. Among them are mental health problems, burnout and high turnover rates. In other words, overly demanding policies can ultimately hinder the performance employers want to see. Many top performers recognize the value of work while also valuing the time spent away from it. \u201cAt the end of the day we\u2019re human too,\u201d said Simone Biles, who is widely considered the best gymnast on record. \u201cWe have to protect our mind and body, rather than just go out there and do what the world wants us to do.\u201d Elite athletes like Biles require time away from the spotlight to recuperate and hone their skills. Others who are at the top of their professions turn to hobbies to recharge their batteries. Albert Einstein\u2019s passion for playing the violin and piano was not merely a diversion from physics \u2013 it was instrumental to the famous and widely beloved scientist\u2019s groundbreaking scientific insights. Einstein\u2019s second wife, Elsa Einstein, observed that he took short breaks to play music when he was thinking about his scientific theories. I\u2019ve reviewed hundreds of studies that show leisure time isn\u2019t a luxury \u2212 it fulfills key psychological needs. Taking longer and more frequent breaks from your job than your workaholic boss might like can help you get more rest, recover from work-related stress and increase your sense of mastery and autonomy. That\u2019s because when employees find fulfillment outside of work they tend to become better at their jobs, making their employers more likely to thrive. That\u2019s what a team of researchers found when they studied the workforce at a large city hospital in the U.S. Employees who thought their bosses supported their family life were happier with their jobs, more loyal and less likely to quit. Unsurprisingly, the happier, more supported workers also gave their supervisors higher ratings. Researchers who studied the daily leisure activities of 100 Dutch teachers found that when the educators could take some of their time off to relax and engage in hobbies outside work, they felt better and had an easier time coping with the demands of their job the next day. Another study of German emergency service workers found that not having enough fun over the weekend, such as socializing with friends and relatives, can undermine job performance the following week. The mental health consequences of overwork, spending too many hours on the job or getting mentally or physically exhausted by your work are significant and measurable. According to the World Health Organization, working more than 55 hours per week is associated with a 35% higher risk of having a stroke and a 17% higher risk of developing heart disease. Working too many hours can also contribute to burnout, a state of physical, emotional and mental exhaustion caused by long-term work stress. The World Health Organization officially recognizes burnout as a work-related health hazard. A Gallup analysis conducted in March 2025 found that even employees who are engaged at work, meaning that they are highly committed, connected and enthusiastic about what they do for a living, are twice as likely to burn out if they log more than 45 hours a week on the job. Burnout can be very costly for employers, ranging anywhere from US$4,000 to $20,000 per employee each year. These numbers are calculated from the average hourly salaries of employees and based on the impact of burnout on aspects such as missed workdays and reduced productivity at work. That means a company with 1,000 workers could lose around $4 million every year due to burnout. Ultimately, employers that overwork their workers have high turnover rates. One study found that the onset of mandatory overtime for South Korean nurses made more of them decide to quit their jobs. Similarly, a national study of over 17,000 U.S.-based nurses found that when they worked longer hours, turnover increased. This pattern is evident in many other professions besides health care, such as finance and transportation. Conservative estimates of the cost of turnover for employers ranges from 1.5 to two times an employee\u2019s annual salary. This includes the costs of hiring, onboarding and training new employees. Critically, there are also hidden costs that are harder to estimate, such as losing the departed employee\u2019s institutional knowledge and unique connections. Over time, making workers work extra hours can undercut an employer\u2019s performance and threaten its viability. Abundant evidence indicates that supporting employees\u2019 aspirations for happier and more meaningful lives within the workplace and beyond leaves workers and their employers alike better off.

These showed decent gains in revenue and profitability, but investors were hoping for more. 10 stocks we like better than Cisco Systems \u203a Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) wasn't a particularly popular tech stock on Thursday. Investors sold out of the stock following a quarterly earnings report that some found dissatisfying. This sank the share price by more than 1% on a day when the S&P 500 index basically traded flat. Cisco unveiled its fiscal fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results just after market close on Wednesday. These revealed that the storied computer networking company managed to boost its revenue by 8% year over year in the former period to $14.67 billion. That was slightly above the consensus analyst estimate of $14.62 billion. Cisco attributed this to growth in overall product orders, which it said was 7% across all its regions. It also flagged artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure products as growth drivers. In the first half of this calendar year, orders for such products topped $2 billion. This is double -- and then some -- management's target of $1 billion for the period. On the bottom line, non-GAAP (adjusted) net income landed at $4 billion, shaking out to $0.99 per share. That was 12% higher than the result for the fourth quarter of 2024, and it edged past the average pundit projection of $0.98. Cisco also proffered guidance for its current (first) quarter and the entirety of fiscal 2026. It's modeling $59 billion to $60 billion in revenue and adjusted earnings per share of $4.00 to $4.06. This is in line with the consensus analyst expectations of, respectively, $59.5 billion and $4.03. While Cisco's quarterly performance certainly wasn't bad, it seems investors were expecting more convincing beats and higher guidance, particularly given that AI tailwind.

Why Cisco Systems Stock Sank on Thursday was originally published by The Motley Fool"", ""Cisco CFO sees big AI opportunities despite concerns about slowing core growth Cisco (CSCO) is betting on the AI boom as it faces potential pressures in its networking and security units. \u201cAI is really the biggest driver in terms of the overall umbrella,\u201d CFO Mark Patterson said on Yahoo Finance\u2019s Opening Bid. Cisco reported stronger-than-expected earnings and guidance. Q4 revenue rose 8% year over year to $14.7 billion, surpassing the $14.63 billion estimate. Adjusted EPS increased 14% year to $0.99, beating the $0.98 consensus, according to Bloomberg data. For fiscal year 2026, Cisco is expecting revenue between $59 billion and $60 billion, with adjusted EPS of $4.00 to $4.06. However, Cisco\u2019s stock is facing some headwinds as concerns mount about its slowing momentum in its core networking business and lower growth in its security division. Shares have slipped about 1% since the report. They are up 17% year to date, ahead of the S&P 500's (^GSPC) 10% gain. Cisco's core networking business grew 12% in the most recent quarter, signaling healthy demand despite broader concerns. \""That's frankly ... where a lot of the tailwinds are today that we're seeing,\"" Patterson said. For security, Patterson said demand hasn't slowed since Cisco's $28 billion acquisition of Splunk closed in 2024. Its revenue increased 9% in the quarter, and Patterson noted it added over 300 customers in both Q3 and Q4. \""I think that we've got a better, more complete offering for our customers,\"" he said. But AI is the name of the game. Patterson said fourth quarter revenue growth got a major lift from soaring demand for AI infrastructure, particularly large-scale AI training systems. Orders from webscale customers for these projects more than doubled the company's original target. \u201cWe took over $800 million in orders in the quarter,\u201d he said, adding the bigger prize lies in the years ahead as everyday customers start adopting AI. \u201cFor us, the enterprise space is still very nascent, but we think [it] will ultimately be a larger opportunity than what we're seeing in the training build-outs with hyperscale.\"" Patterson, a 25-year Cisco veteran, emphasized there's a need for companies to upgrade both their networking and security systems to meet the demands of AI. He said Cisco is undergoing a \""campus refresh,\"" or replacement of outdated equipment at customer sites. On the macro front, tariffs were a \u201cslight headwind in Q4 and also for FY 25,\u201d Patterson said. While he didn't specify the financial impact, he noted Cisco was able to offset much of the effect thanks to its global supply chain. Francisco Velasquez is a Reporter at Yahoo Finance.

Mohit Kumar, chief European strategist at Jefferies International, said, \u201cWe do expect some progress in today\u2019s meeting and a path set for further discussions between Russia and the U.S.,\u201d adding that \u201cif we move towards a peace deal, it would be positive for the European markets.\u201d In other news, the EU and U.S. are moving toward finalizing the trade deal that President Trump and European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen agreed to in July. In corporate news, NKT A/S (NKT.C.DX) climbed over +8% after updating its full-year guidance. At the same time, Pandora A/S (PNDOR.C.DX) tumbled over -12% after the Danish jewellery maker posted weaker-than-expected Q2 organic revenue. The European economic data slate is mainly empty on Friday. Asian stock markets today settled in the green. China\u2019s Shanghai Composite Index (SHCOMP) closed up +0.83%, and Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 Stock Index (NIK) closed up +1.71%. China\u2019s Shanghai Composite Index ended higher today as weak economic data from the country bolstered expectations of new stimulus measures from Beijing to support growth. Real estate stocks climbed on Friday after Bloomberg News reported that China is planning to mobilize companies owned by the central government in Beijing to purchase unsold homes from struggling property developers. The benchmark index notched its biggest weekly gain in nine months. Data from the National Bureau of Statistics released on Friday showed that China\u2019s economy weakened across the board in July, with factory activity, investment, and retail sales disappointing, indicating that Beijing\u2019s crackdown on destructive price wars and the spillover effects of U.S. President Donald Trump\u2019s tariffs are weighing on the world\u2019s second-largest economy. Also, the country\u2019s prolonged housing market downturn continued to weigh on growth, with the latest figures showing declining home prices and property investment. In addition, unemployment inched higher in July as millions of new graduates entered a sluggish labor market. China\u2019s top leaders refrained from introducing any major new stimulus measures in July, a cautious approach that economists say will need to be reconsidered to keep this year\u2019s 5% growth target attainable. ING economist Lynn Song said on Friday that \u201cthe slump in July\u2019s data was more pronounced than expected,\u201d noting that China needs to roll out additional stimulus measures. In other news, the Financial Times reported on Thursday that China is cautioning Western companies against stockpiling rare earths, warning they could face even greater shortages. In corporate news, JD.com slid over -3% in Hong Kong after the e-commerce operator posted a 51% drop in Q2 net income. The Chinese July Industrial Production rose +5.7% y/y, weaker than expectations of +6.0% y/y. The Chinese July Retail Sales rose +3.7% y/y, weaker than expectations of +4.6% y/y. The Chinese Fixed Asset Investment rose +1.6% y/y in the January-July period, weaker than expectations of +2.7% y/y. The Chinese July Unemployment Rate was 5.2%, weaker than expectations of 5.1%. Japan\u2019s Nikkei 225 Stock Index closed sharply higher today, posting a new record high, after the nation\u2019s economy expanded faster than expected last quarter. Financial stocks led the gains on Friday, supported by expectations that a Bank of Japan rate hike might come sooner rather than later. The benchmark index posted strong gains for the week. Preliminary government data released on Friday showed that Japan\u2019s economy expanded far more than expected in the second quarter, driven by robust domestic demand, strengthening the case for the BOJ to raise its benchmark rate again this year and offering embattled Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba some rare good news. Separately, data showed that Japan\u2019s June industrial production was unexpectedly revised upward. Meanwhile, Benjamin Shatil, an economist at JPMorgan Securities, said, \u201cWe continue to think that solid domestic demand data will necessitate a shift in the BOJ\u2019s narrative that tariff-related uncertainty is weighing on activity,\u201d adding that he expects the central bank to raise its policy rate in October. According to the latest Bloomberg survey of economists tracking the BOJ, about 42% of respondents said they anticipate a hike in October, while one-third expect a move in January. Governor Kazuo Ueda said last month that policymakers will continue to raise borrowing costs if they are confident domestic demand will remain stable. In other news, foreign investors bought a net 489.3 billion yen ($3.32 billion) worth of Japanese stocks in the week through August 9th, fueled by a series of strong earnings that propelled domestic equities to new record highs, according to data from Japan\u2019s Ministry of Finance. The Nikkei Volatility Index, which takes into account the implied volatility of Nikkei 225 options, closed up +0.20% to 24.61. The Japanese GDP has been reported at +0.3% q/q and +1.0% y/y in the second quarter, stronger than expectations of +0.1% q/q and +0.4% y/y. The Japanese June Industrial Production rose +2.1% m/m, stronger than expectations of +1.7% m/m.

The bank also lowered its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) estimates for fiscal years 2026 (FY26) to 2028 by around 7% to 14% to reflect a weaker-than-expected outlook. Cisco\u2019s fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results and fiscal 2026 guidance were in line with consensus but came in below HSBC\u2019s estimates. Revenue rose 7.6% year-on-year to $14.67 billion, matching both HSBC and consensus expectations. Non-GAAP operating margin was 34.3%, up 1.73 percentage points from a year earlier, but below HSBC\u2019s forecast of 35.3% and in line with consensus. Non-GAAP EPS increased 13.8% to $0.99, also in line with estimates. The company\u2019s networking segment showed improvement, with revenue growth accelerating from a 23.5% decline in the first quarter to a 12.2% increase in the fourth. However, HSBC analysts note that Cisco\u2019s fiscal 2026 revenue guidance of 5% growth, combined with slowing growth in remaining performance obligations and backlog, suggests \u201cthe restocking effect may be coming to an end sooner we had expected.\u201d Although Cisco reported over $2 billion in AI infrastructure orders in fiscal 2025, the strength \u201cseems to be getting offset by weakness elsewhere.\u201d In security, revenue grew 9.2% in the quarter and orders rose in the mid-single digits, with double-digit growth excluding the U.S. federal market. Still, HSBC cut its long-term revenue CAGR estimate for the segment to 8% from around 10%, saying overall growth is \u201cdisappointing\u201d despite good cross-selling traction from the Splunk acquisition. Cisco shares have risen 42% since August 2024, outperforming the Nasdaq by 19 percentage points, and \u201cappear fairly valued,\"" analysts said. The stock trades at 17.2 times estimated 2026 adjusted earnings, in line with other slow-growth companies under the bank\u2019s coverage. The new price target is based on a 17.5 times multiple applied to HSBC\u2019s next 12-month non-GAAP EPS estimate of $3.93, down from $4.16. The target implies a 2% downside.

Robbins joins Caroline Hyde and Ed Ludlow on \""Bloomberg Tech.\"""", ""Top exec reveals the \u2018stupidest thing\u2019 companies adopting AI can do The president of Cisco rejects the doomsday warnings from some tech leaders that artificial intelligence will make entry-level jobs vanish. \u201cI just refuse to believe that humans are going to be obsolete. It just seems like it\u2019s an absurd concept,\u201d Jeetu Patel, who\u2019s also the chief product officer at AI infrastructure company Cisco, told CNN. While Patel acknowledged there will be \u201cgrowing pains where people will get disrupted,\u201d he strongly pushed back on Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei\u2019s comments saying AI will spike unemployment to as high as 20% and eliminate half of all white-collar entry level jobs. He\u2019s one of several tech leaders that have pushed back on Amodei\u2019s narrative; others have said AI is likely to change jobs by requiring workers to adopt new skills rather than wiping out jobs completely. Still, his comments come amid a plunge in entry-level hiring and as tech giants are increasingly using AI in the workplace, raising questions about the future of work. \u201cDario is a friend. We are investors in Anthropic. I have a ton of respect for what he\u2019s done. In this area though, I have a slightly different opinion on a couple of different dimensions,\u201d Patel said Wednesday at Ai4, an AI conference in Las Vegas. \u201cI reject the notion that humans are going to be obsolete in like five years, that we\u2019re not going to have anything to do and we\u2019re going to be sitting on the beach\u2026 It doesn\u2019t make any sense.\u201d In particular, Patel said he has a \u201chuge concern\u201d with Amodei\u2019s line of thinking that AI could wipe out entry-level jobs because companies benefit from adding younger workers who often better understand new technologies. \u201cIf you just say, \u2018I\u2019m going to eradicate all entry-level jobs,\u2019 that\u2019s the stupidest thing a company can do in the long term because what you\u2019ve done is you\u2019ve actually taken away the injection of new perspective,\u201d the Cisco exec said. Patel argued that for some jobs, having significant experience can be a \u201cmassive liability.\u201d For instance, he said people often hold assumptions about things that may not have worked five years ago, but do now. That\u2019s why Patel said he spends \u201can enormous amount of time\u201d with younger employees and interns. \u201cI learn a lot from people who\u2019ve just gotten out of college because they have a fresh and unique perspective. And that perspective coupled with (my) experience makes magic happen,\u201d Patel said. \u201cIt would be a really bad strategy to not have early in career people and entry level people injected in your workplace.\u201d However, some economists say there are early signs suggesting AI may already be depressing entry-level jobs. Even though the overall job market has been mostly healthy, the Class of 2025 faces the worst job market for new college graduates in years. For the first time since tracking started in 1980, the unemployment rate for recent graduates (those 22 to 27 years old with at least a bachelor\u2019s degree) is higher than the national unemployment rate, according to Oxford Economics. Entry-level hiring has tumbled by 23% between March 2020 and May 2025, outpacing the 18% decline in overall hiring over that span, according to data from LinkedIn. This is happening for a variety of reasons, some of them unrelated to AI. But AI does seem to be playing a role, some economists say. For instance, Oxford Economics noted that employment in two industries vulnerable to AI disruption \u2014 computer science and mathematics \u2014 has dropped by 8% since 2022 for recent graduates. By comparison, employment has little changed in those industries for older workers. \u201cAI is definitely displacing some of these lower-level jobs,\u201d Matthew Martin, senior US economist at Oxford Economics, told CNN in June. Economists and AI researchers say the jobs most at risk involve repetitive tasks that can be automated, such as data input. \u201cThe less interesting clerical jobs will go away. They will be automated. And if you don\u2019t automate, you\u2019ll go out of business,\u201d Alan Ranger, vice president of marketing at Cognigy, told CNN on the sidelines of Ai4. Cognigy would know: It sells conversational AI agents that provide customer support for banks, airlines and other companies. Ranger said Cognigy\u2019s AI agents came to the rescue when German airline Lufthansa had to cancel every flight due to a strike in Germany earlier this year. The technology allowed Lufthansa to rebook thousands of flights per minute, he said. Ranger argued that companies won\u2019t massively lay off customer support workers because humans still need to manage the AI agents, design the software and tackle other complex issues. Yet he did concede that companies will have fewer customer support workers in the future as people leave the industry and retire, and because firms will hire for different roles. \u201cAccount management and sales roles won\u2019t get replaced anytime soon,\u201d Ranger said. \u201cAn AI can\u2019t buy you a steak dinner.\u201d Patel, the Cisco executive, said the onus is on the tech industry and society as a whole to ensure a smooth transition to superintelligent AI. \u201cIn tech, we live in a bubble. We keep thinking, \u2018Oh, disruption is just part of it.\u2019 But when a steel mill worker gets disrupted, they don\u2019t become an AI prompt engineer,\u201d he said. Patel said there is a lot of retraining and reskilling that must be done in tandem with governments and educators. \u201cThe tech community has to actually take some responsibility for this,\u201d he said. \u201cBecause if we don\u2019t, you will create some level of pain in society and we want to make sure we avoid that.\u201d For more CNN news and newsletters create an account at CNN.com"", ""Stocks to Watch Recap: Bullish, Cisco, Deere, Lululemon \u2198\ufe0f Deere (DE): The world\u2019s largest farm-equipment maker cut its annual outlook after posting a drop in quarterly profit and sales.

Fed watchers have had quite a week, getting a hot Producer Price Index, a tame Consumer Price Index, and solid retail sales data out today. As it stands, markets are still betting on that September rate cut from the Jerome Powell-led Federal Reserve. There have been a few earnings stumbles in CoreWeave (CRWV), Applied Materials (AMAT), and Cava (CAVA), but a few bright spots from the likes of Cisco (CSCO). The Bullish (BLSH) IPO saw an enthusiastic response. And now markets cast their gaze to the highly anticipated meeting today between President Trump and his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin. The outcome of this meeting could have a host of surprises that bullish investors haven't even thought about! The Trump administration is reportedly in talks to have the US government take a stake in Intel (INTC). An Intel spokesperson didn't comment directly on this to me, but offered this: \""Intel is deeply committed to supporting President Trump's efforts to strengthen U.S. technology and manufacturing leadership. We look forward to continuing our work with the Trump Administration to advance these shared priorities, but we are not going to comment on rumors or speculation.\"" The questions here are numerous. Why would the administration even want a stake in an Intel that is far behind chief rivals Nvidia (NVDA) and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)? I encourage Trump to compare Nvidia's earnings report on Aug. 27 to the last disaster from Intel a few weeks ago. The president isn't known to hitch his ride to losers. Intel has been a loser and may stay that way in the chip game for some time. Then again, why would Intel want to get in bed with the government when embattled CEO Lip-Bu Tan and the board must act quickly to reorganize the company? I find it hard to believe the government will be a quiet minority shareholder! Intel has billions in cash and doesn't need the money that comes with terms from any government deal. There is a lot at stake here, as Intel should be a beacon of US chip-making, not the punching bag in tech circles. The company's financials have taken a major hit, with sales down for more than three straight years and earnings evaporating in the process. \""[A stake would] be a big step for Intel, but right now Intel is on a horse and buggy compared to the Godfather of AI Jensen [Huang] and Nvidia,\"" Wedbush tech analyst Dan Ives told me. When a Wall Street analyst who has been a bear on a stock for a while suddenly issues an upgrade, it always catches my attention. Today, we have that situation on Salesforce (CRM). DA Davidson analyst Gil Luria lifted his rating on Salesforce to Neutral from Underperform. Luria said investor sentiment has declined sharply on Salesforce in recent months as questions mount around the company's acquisition strategy and near-term margins. But what may not be factored into the stock is new activist investor activity, Luria said. Luria pointed out that noted activist investor Starboard Value \u2014 led by Jeff Smith \u2014 increased its stake in Salesforce by 47% this quarter, according to new 13F filings. Starboard pushed for big changes at Salesforce three years ago, which ultimately led to a new focus on margin expansion by CEO and co-founder Marc Benioff. Luria said, \""We believe this is a signal there will be another round of investor activism and increased pressure on management to refocus on growth of the core business, additional margin expansion and hold off on dilutive M&A.\"" Meanwhile, Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway sold 20 million shares of Apple (AAPL) during the period, according to a new 13F filing. Berkshire's Apple holdings remain its largest equity stake by market value, despite dropping by about $9.2 billion in the second quarter. Is Buffett signaling he is concerned about Apple's tariff exposure? Perhaps. After all, Apple did warn tariffs would hit its profits by $1.1 billion in the current quarter.

Cisco Systems CSCO shares have dropped 6% in the past couple of sessions following the fourth-quarter fiscal 2025 results reported on Wednesday (Aug. 13). The drop can be attributed to apparently slowing momentum in networking revenues, which grew 12% year over year to $7.63 billion, in the reported quarter. However, we believe the dip presents an opportunity for investors to buy the CSCO stock given its strong AI momentum. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, AI Infrastructure orders from webscale customers exceeded $800 million, bringing the total revenues to $2 billion in fiscal 2025, double the management’s original expectation. Product orders from service providers and cloud customers jumped 49% year over year in the reported quarter. This was driven by triple-digit order growth in webscale customers, with orders from each of the four out of the top six webscale customers growing in the triple digits. Cisco reported strong growth in Annual Recurring Revenues (ARR), Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO) and subscription revenues in the reported quarter. ARR was $31.1 billion, up 5% with product ARR growth of 8%. Total subscription revenues increased 3% year over year to $7.9 billion and accounted for 54% of Cisco’s fiscal fourth-quarter revenues. Total RPO increased 6% year over year to $43.5 billion, and Product RPO grew 8%, and total short-term RPO was $21.7 billion, up 4%. Growing recurring revenue base reflects strong future growth prospects, which is expected to help CSCO stock perform well over the long term. Year to date (YTD), CSCO shares have appreciated 11.8%, underperforming the Zacks Computer & Technology sector, as well as close peers Broadcom AVGO and Arista Networks ANET. While the broader sector has appreciated 13.7%, shares of Broadcom and Arista Networks have appreciated 32.1% and 24.2%, respectively, over the same timeframe. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Cisco’s aggressive AI push and growing security dominance have been major growth drivers. Rapid acceleration in the capacity requirements of the network due to unprecedented levels of network traffic and an ever-evolving threat landscape bodes well for Cisco’s prospects. The AI opportunity further gets a boost from Cisco’s partnership with NVIDIA NVDA. Networking product orders grew double digits (for the fourth consecutive quarter) in the fiscal fourth quarter, driven by webscale infrastructure, switching, enterprise routing, industrial IoT and servers. Silicon One powered smart switches are very much in demand. Orders for the industrial IoT portfolio, comprised of ruggedized catalyst products, grew double digits (for the fifth consecutive quarter). Cisco expects momentum to continue in fiscal 2026 as more and more strategic infrastructure and manufacturing come onshore to the United States. Cisco’s security business is benefiting from strong demand for both Cisco Secure Access, Hypershield and XDR. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, orders grew mid-single-digit. Splunk and Cisco synergies reported 14% year-over-year growth in new logos for Splunk. Secure Access, XDR, Hypershield and AI Defense added 750 new customers collectively in the reported quarter. Cisco’s expanded partnership with NVIDIA, under which the companies plan to offer solutions that help build AI-ready data center networks, is a game-changer. Integration of Cisco Nexus switches with NVIDIA’s Spectrum-X architecture is offering low latency, high-speed networking for AI clusters, driving enterprise AI orders. The Cisco Secure AI factory with NVIDIA provides a trusted blueprint for building secure AI-ready data centers for enterprises, sovereign cloud providers and newly emerging Neocloud providers. For fiscal 2026, CSCO expects revenues to be $59-$60 billion compared with $56.7 billion reported in fiscal 2025. Non-GAAP earnings are expected between $4 per share and $4.06 per share compared with $3.81 per share reported in fiscal 2025. Cisco Systems, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Cisco Systems, Inc. Quote The Zacks Consensus Estimate for CSCO’s fiscal 2026 revenues is pegged at $56.58 billion, indicating growth of 5.2% on a year-over-year basis. The consensus mark for CSCO’s fiscal 2026 earnings is currently pegged at $4.02 per share, up a couple of cents over the past 30 days, indicating year-over-year growth of 5.5%. Cisco shares are trading at a premium, as suggested by the Value Score of D. In terms of the forward 12-month price/sales, CSCO is trading at a premium of 4.65X, higher than the Zacks Computer Networking industry’s 4.14X.

Cisco stock is currently trading above the 200-day moving average, indicating a bullish trend.

The edge-based segment will grow at the highest CAGR during the forecast period based on type. The edge-based architecture involves embedding video analytics in the camera itself. Although this approach may seem ideal, it can be limited by the overall performance and design of the surveillance system. However, edge-based video analytics has improved with the emergence of new powerful in-build chipsets in cameras that offer higher computational capabilities at the edge. These systems can alert operators to real-time video or audio events requiring attention and provide more sophisticated analytics, such as queue management and heat maps, which offer new business and traffic intelligence opportunities. In the future, advancements in deep learning and its integration with the edge system will drive adoption. Deep learning takes machine learning to a new level based on neural network principles that mimic the complexity of the human brain. In the past, video processing occurred on servers, which required the decompression and analysis of videos. However, edge-based devices need to learn from external inputs before they can help recognize known objects and behaviors. This functionality, though still in its early stages of development, enhances the capabilities of video analytics at the node and has the potential to be applicable in security and retail use cases. Based on the deployment model, the cloud segment will grow at a higher CAGR during the forecast period. Cloud deployment is an online service hosted on the vendor's server. SMEs are increasingly adopting cloud deployment due to the significant benefits it provides. These benefits include lower costs, no need for a hardware maintenance workforce, faster and more efficient results, and complete flexibility and scalability; this leads to reduced Operational Expenditure (OPEX) and CAPEX.

Okta OKTA shares have declined 27.2% in the past three months, underperforming the Zacks Computer and Technology sector\u2019s return of 15.4% and the Zacks Security industry\u2019s fall of 8.5%. The plunge in Okta\u2019s shares can be attributed to slowing federal business, a challenging macroeconomic condition and stiff competition in the Identity and Access management domain. Okta shares have underperformed peers, including Palo Alto Networks PANW, Cisco Systems CSCO and Microsoft MSFT over the same timeframe. While Palo Alto Networks shares have declined 8.9%, Cisco and Microsoft shares have appreciated 3.6% and 13.4%, respectively. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Okta stock is currently trading below the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, indicating a bearish trend. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Okta shares are also overvalued, as suggested by the Value Score of D. In terms of forward 12-month price/sales (P/S), Okta is trading at 5.36X higher than Cisco\u2019s 4.41X. So, what should investors do with Okta stock at the current level? Let\u2019s dig deep to find out. For fiscal 2026, OKTA expects revenues between $2.85 billion and $2.86 billion, indicating 9-10% growth from the figure reported in fiscal 2025. Uncertainty in the federal business, along with challenging macroeconomic conditions, is a headwind for the company. Okta expects fiscal 2026 non-GAAP earnings between $3.23 and $3.28 per share. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Okta\u2019s earnings has been steady at $3.28 per share over the past 60 days. The earnings figure suggests 16.7% growth over the figure reported in fiscal 2025. Okta, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Okta, Inc. Quote Okta expects second-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues between $710 million and $712 million, indicating 10% year-over-year growth. The current portion of the company\u2019s remaining performance obligations is expected in the 10-11% range. Okta anticipates non-GAAP earnings between 83 cents and 84 cents per share. For the second quarter of fiscal 2026, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for OKTA\u2019s earnings has been steady at 84 cents per share over the past 60 days.

NORTHAMPTON, MA / ACCESS Newswire / August 20, 2025 / Cisco Systems Inc.: By Evan Brown, Vijayakumar Ettiyagounder Do you feel a bit lost when people refer to certain environmental sustainability topics and aren't sure where to start when it comes to learning more? Sustainability 101 is a blog series that you can turn to for information about different environmental terms that may come up at work, during discussions with friends, and even at your annual holiday gathering. Chances are when someone flips on a light switch or turns on a computer, they don't think about what is generating that electricity. The demand for energy is increasing across a range of industries and sectors, driven by technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), and electric vehicles (EVs) and the digitization of emerging and developing economies. According to a new report from the International Energy Agency (IEA), global electricity consumption is forecast to expand at around 4% annually through 2027. That's the equivalent of adding an amount greater than Japan's annual electricity consumption every year between now and 2027. How is the world going to meet this demand for electricity? More energy-efficient technology, grid digitization, and clean energy are things that can help. Clean energy in particular can play an important role in creating a more secure, reliable, replenishable, and durable energy system that lowers costs and reduces environmental impacts. According to the IEA's Renewables 2024 report, \""\u2026renewables will account for almost half of global electricity generation by 2030.\"" What is clean energy Clean energy is any power source that releases little to no direct greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions into the atmosphere. As a pollution-free energy alternative available in virtually every part of the world, it boosts and diversifies the global energy supply and can often be more cost-effective. Solar and wind power often come to mind when you think about clean energy sources, but they also include ocean, geothermal, nuclear, and hydropower. enewable energy is a subset of clean energy. However, not all clean energy is renewable. Take nuclear power, for example: It's considered clean energy because the power released from splitting atoms doesn't release GHGs but is not renewable since the uranium resources necessary are limited. Benefits of clean renewable energy For Cisco, clean renewable energy has shown numerous benefits such as: For communities located nearby, a new clean energy plant can: What is Cisco doing? For Cisco, using clean renewable energy for our operations makes good business sense. In addition to cost savings, increased energy access, and playing a role in our goal to reach net zero GHG emissions across our value chain by 2040, it also strengthens our reputation as a leader in sustainability. Cisco began its clean energy journey in 2007 with 11% of its electricity generated by clean energy sources. Today, 96% of our global electricity use comes from renewable sources, and we strive to support further adoption of clean energy. Areas where we focus include: Developing technology for energy grid efficiency and resilience that delivers power more securely. The ever-increasing adoption of decentralized clean energy sources can strain power grids. Tailored to utilities and smart grids, Cisco solutions can help keep digital infrastructure secure, up-to-date, and optimized. Engaging in long-term, local clean energy contracts to power our facilities. Whenever possible, Cisco looks at ways to generate our own onsite electricity. However, when that isn't practical or cost-effective, we enter power purchase agreements (PPAs) with clean energy developers building new projects, as we did for our first wind energy project in the same market as our Richardson and Allen, Texas campuses. Fisher County, Texas residents also benefited, gaining an electric power plant and jobs from the developer and operator. More recently we signed PPAs with X-ELIO and Southern Power. In India, Cisco's Bangalore campus, which includes offices, a research lab, and a large data center, recently entered a 15-year, fixed-price agreement with a clean energy plant 164 miles away. At any given time, the Cisco complex runs on anywhere from 98 to 100% clean power. Investing in clean energy innovations. The Cisco Foundation and Cisco Investments, the company's venture arm, provides funding to nonprofits and start-ups advancing clean energy solutions. Some organizations they have invested in include: SHYFT Power. In Africa roughly 600 million people still lack electricity, mostly in sub-Saharan countries. SHYFT power has introduced a technology platform encouraging clean energy adoption in Nigeria. CorPower Ocean, a Swedish company developing viable ways to harness ocean waves as a continuous, renewable energy resource. Evolving towards a more energy secure and sustainable world Clean energy adoption provides opportunities to increase energy security while helping to reduce costs, create jobs, and stimulate economic growth. Through our efforts to procure clean energy for Cisco, we have seen the benefits to our business, to our customers, and to the planet.

Composite 18 achieved a 74.1% recovery to produce a 5.69% Li2O concentrate with low iron of 0.42% Fe2O3. Composite 21 achieved a 69.6% recovery to produce a 5.08% Li2O concentrate with low iron of 0.55% Fe2O3. Composite 23 achieved a 71.6% recovery to produce a 5.60% Li2O concentrate with low iron of 0.46% Fe2O3. The next phase of metallurgy work will include additional HLS test work on other areas of the main mineralized zone at the Cisco Project. VANCOUVER, British Columbia, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Q2 Metals Corp. (TSX.V: QTWO | OTCQB: QUEXF | FSE: 458) (\u201cQ2\u201d or the \u201cCompany\u201d) is pleased to announce the successful results of the first phase of metallurgical test work on drill core samples collected from the 2024 drill program at the Cisco Lithium Project (the \""Project\"" or the \""Cisco Project\""), located within the greater Nemaska traditional territory of the Eeyou Istchee James Bay, Quebec, Canada. The objective of the preliminary test program was to achieve a spodumene concentrate at ~70% recovery with Heavy Liquid Separation (\u201cHLS\u201d) test work to confirm the potential suitability of a Dense Media Separation (\u201cDMS\u201d) process. The results of this test work confirms that strong recoveries can be achieved with a DMS circuit and as expected, the low iron content of the head samples continues through to the concentrate. \""We\u2019re extremely encouraged with the results of this first round of metallurgical testing that confirms that DMS driven processing can be implemented at Cisco. Magnetic or flotation treatments were not utilized in this round due to the success of the HLS tests. The strong recovery combined with low iron content are the highlights so far,\"" stated Neil McCallum, Q2 Metals VP of Exploration. \""The next phase of metallurgy test work will be designed to expand upon these positive results and to maximize the concentrate grade and recovery rates at increased scale.\"" The metallurgical test program for the Cisco Project was completed by SGS Canada Inc. (\u201cSGS\u201d) at their laboratory in Quebec City, Quebec, Canada and is focused on industry standard and cost-effective processing techniques applicable to spodumene pegmatite. Sample Description: Each of the three composite samples consisted of approximately 45 Kg of material derived from quarter-split drill core material (Table 1). The composite samples were selected from approximately 43 metres of continuous mineralization from drill holes CS24-018, 21 and 23. The material from each composite was blended prior to performing the test work. Table 1. Composite Sample Description Test Work Description: A five-kilogram subset of the blended composite material was further crushed to -9.5 millimetres (\u201cmm\u201d) and -6.3 mm to test the applicability of DMS. The -6.3mm was found to be an optimal crush size, and the results of which are summarized below. A series of sink/float HLS tests were performed on each sample. No magnetic separation was performed on the samples. At a crush size of -6.3mm, the lithium recovery ranged between 70% and 74% with a concentrate grade between 5.08% and 5.96% Li2O: Composite 18 achieved a 74.1% recovery with a specific gravity (\u201cSG\u201d) cut point of 2.80 to produce a 5.69% Li2O concentrate with low iron of 0.42% Fe2O3. Composite 21 achieved a 69.6% recovery with a cut point of 2.80 SG to produce a 5.08% Li2O concentrate with low iron of 0.55% Fe2O3. Composite 23 achieved a 71.6% recovery with a cut point of 2.80 SG to produce a 5.60% Li2O concentrate with a low iron of 0.46% Fe2O3. Table 2. Summary of HLS Testing Figure 1. Image of HLS sink/float products from Comp 18 Next Steps: Further work by SGS will test both the necessity of magnetic separation to treat any wall-rock that may or may not be included in the processing stream as well as assess the potential for a flotation circuit to the processing scenario to maximize recovery of the fine material and the rejected middlings of the material of the primary DMS circuit. Additional HLS test work will be completed on other areas of the main mineralized zone at the Cisco Project to confirm the recoveries in other regions.

Hackers linked to the Russian government have been exploiting a vulnerability in Cisco networking devices to target critical infrastructure organizations, the FBI said on Wednesday. \u201cIn the past year, the FBI detected the actors collecting configuration files for thousands of networking devices associated with US entities across critical infrastructure sectors,\u201d the bureau said in an alert. The hackers, whom the FBI linked to the Russian Federal Security Service\u2019s Center 16, have been taking advantage of a bug in Cisco\u2019s IOS software, tracked as CVE-2018-0171, to execute arbitrary code on unpatched and end-of-life network switches made by Cisco and Rockwell Automation. In some cases, the attackers modified configuration files to gain access to the devices and conduct reconnaissance focused on \u201cprotocols and applications commonly associated with industrial control systems,\u201d according to the FBI. The FSB\u2019s Center 16, which has conducted operations that researchers track using the names \u201cBerserk Bear\u201d and \u201cDragonfly,\u201d has spent more than a decade penetrating computer systems by exploiting networking devices\u2019 use of unencrypted protocols, the FBI said.

The group focuses on telecommunications, education and manufacturing organizations around the world, Cisco said, \u201cwith victims selected based on their strategic interest to the Russian government,\u201d mostly in Ukraine and its allies. Both the FBI and Cisco linked the FSB\u2019s Center 16 to the SYNful Knock malware, which Google detected in four countries, including Ukraine, in 2015. Cisco said the group\u2019s operations against Ukrainian targets have increased significantly since Moscow expanded its invasion of Ukraine in 2022. \u201cStatic Tundra was observed compromising Ukrainian organizations in multiple verticals,\u201d Cisco said, \u201cas opposed to previously more limited, selective compromises typically being associated with this threat actor.\u201d"", ""Smart Learning Systems Markets and Competition Analysis 2025-2030: Adoption of AI, Cloud Tech, and Flexible Learning Solutions Shaping the $177.8 Billion Industry Adobe, SMART Technologies, Microsoft Corporation, Cisco Systems, and SAP Lead the Smart Learning Systems Industry Smart Learning Systems Market Dublin, Aug. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The \""Smart Learning Systems Market - Forecasts from 2025 to 2030\"" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

Investing.com -- The technology sector has powered markets higher in 2025, but stretched valuations are raising questions about how much upside remains. According to the latest Sevens Report, \u201cmassive demand for semiconductors and AI infrastructure combined with the promise of AI driven leaps in profitability\u201d have made tech the leader of the S&P 500\u2019s advance. But valuations now appear difficult to justify. Sevens highlighted Palantir (NASDAQ:PLTR) as \u201cthe most obvious example,\u201d calling it \u201ca stock that is the best performer in the S&P 500 YTD but also trades at a quasi-absurd 212X forward earnings!\u201d Even broad-based exchange-traded funds such as XLK are trading at \u201cabove 29X earnings, a level that hasn\u2019t proven historically sustainable.\u201d Recent declines in AI-related names, driven by disappointing reactions to earnings at CoreWeave, Applied Materials (NASDAQ:AMAT) and Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), provided a small relief to valuations. But Sevens warned that \u201cthe \u2018bar\u2019 to impress investors in the AI names is high.\u201d With rate cuts expected next month, investors are also rotating into more cyclical sectors such as utilities, industrials and financials. Still, finding value in technology remains a challenge for new money. \u201cThe reality is that finding value in the tech space is a challenge, especially for new money that needs to be allocated but doesn\u2019t want to chase sky-high valuations,\u201d Sevens said. The note suggested that investors can still participate in the AI-driven rally while managing risk by using alternative ETF strategies. These include equal-weight and smart beta approaches, as well as income-focused ETFs that \u201cboost yield, and in doing so lower the aggregate valuation of the ETF.\u201d \u201cAlternative tech strategies that can complement core tech holdings can lower overall tech valuations in a client portfolio, yet still provide exposure to the key names in the space,\u201d concluded Sevens.

Whether you have watched it climb nearly 13% year-to-date or noticed its impressive 37% total return over the past year, Cisco is the sort of stock that gets investors talking and often debating. Lately, the stock has shown both steady resilience and flashes of growth potential, sometimes moving in sync with shifts in market sentiment as investors weigh both opportunity and risk. Over the past three years, Cisco\u2019s total return has hit 55%, with the five-year figure pushing 84%, so it is clear that long-term investors have been rewarded for their patience. Recent months have brought some volatility, and while the day-to-day moves have been modest, there is an underlying shift in how the market views Cisco\u2019s prospects. With a recent close of $67.02, the shares are trading about 13% below the average analyst price target, and Cisco is currently undervalued by nearly 10% based on discounted cash flow metrics. That adds up to a valuation score of 4 out of 6, which suggests Cisco is undervalued on the majority of key checks, but not all. Growth in both annual revenue and earnings has helped reinforce the positive sentiment, though some caution remains as market perceptions on risk ebb and flow. So, how does Cisco really stack up when you dig into the numbers using different valuation methods? Next, we will walk through exactly how those six different valuation approaches measure up. Later on, we will get to an even more insightful way to judge whether the stock is truly a bargain or something else entirely. Cisco Systems delivered 37.1% returns over the last year. See how this stacks up to the rest of the Communications industry. The Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) model estimates a company\u2019s value by projecting its future free cash flows and then discounting those amounts to their present-day worth. This approach captures what an investor might pay today to receive those future streams of cash, factoring in risks and the time value of money. Cisco Systems currently generates an impressive Free Cash Flow of $13.37 billion. Analysts project steady growth in this cash flow, with estimates reaching $18.60 billion by 2035. Using a two-stage Free Cash Flow to Equity model, these projections yield an intrinsic share value of $74.37, compared to Cisco\u2019s recent price of $67.02. This calculation shows the stock is 9.9% undervalued, based on cash flow fundamentals. That suggests Cisco's present market price closely, but not fully, reflects its long-term earning power. This provides investors with a modest margin of safety. Result: ABOUT RIGHT Simply Wall St performs a discounted cash flow (DCF) on every stock in the world every day (check out Cisco Systems's DCF analysis). We show the entire calculation in full. You can track the result in your watchlist or portfolio and be alerted when this changes. The Price-to-Earnings (PE) ratio is a well-established benchmark for evaluating profitable companies like Cisco Systems, especially when their earnings are relatively stable and recurring. Investors often look to the PE ratio to understand how much they are paying for each dollar of company earnings, making it a popular and straightforward tool for comparing value across similar businesses. Interpreting what makes a \u201cgood\u201d or \u201cfair\u201d PE ratio involves more than a simple comparison. Higher expected growth, larger market share, or lower risk can justify a higher PE ratio, while slower growth or greater uncertainty typically result in lower multiples being appropriate. It is a balance of performance, industry conditions, and investor confidence. Currently, Cisco trades at a PE of 25x, which matches the communications industry average of 25x and is well below the average analyst peer group, which stands at 39x. According to the proprietary Fair Ratio, which takes Cisco\u2019s growth outlook, profit levels, and industry dynamics into account, a PE of 27x would be appropriate for Cisco at this time. With the actual PE of 25x within a small margin of the fair value estimate, the data suggests Cisco is trading for about what it is worth based on earnings fundamentals. Result: ABOUT RIGHT PE ratios tell one story, but what if the real opportunity lies elsewhere? Discover companies where insiders are betting big on explosive growth. Narratives are a straightforward way to connect the story you believe about a company to the numbers behind it, combining your assumptions about Cisco Systems\u2019 future revenue, earnings, and margins into a single, cohesive investment case. Instead of simply relying on historic ratios or analyst forecasts, Narratives let you outline your view of where Cisco is headed and automatically translate that into an estimated fair value. This allows you to see in real time whether the current price looks cheap or expensive based on your expectations. On the Simply Wall St platform, Narratives are made even more accessible and dynamic. Millions of investors share and update their perspectives as new earnings and news come in, which means your view of Cisco adapts instantly to the latest developments instead of relying on static opinions. This approach makes it easier to decide when to buy or sell. If your Narrative shows Cisco\u2019s fair value is well above today\u2019s price, it could signal an opportunity. If not, you might choose to wait or sell. For example, a bullish Narrative might forecast strong AI and cloud adoption, leading to an $87 price target for Cisco. A more cautious investor could focus on competitive risks and set their target at just $61, demonstrating how Narratives bring your unique outlook directly into your investment decisions.

Explosive demand for AI workloads and hyperscale data centers is fueling investments in high-speed interconnects, optical networking, and Ethernet switches. Players in this space are focused on capitalizing on the multi-billion-dollar AI infrastructure opportunity. The accelerated deployment of 5G is driving the proliferation of the Internet of Things (IoT), Advanced Driver Assistance Systems, Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality (AR/VR) devices and 5G smartphones, driving demand for robust networking infrastructure. The Wi-Fi 7 upgrade cycle will also act as a catalyst. This will spur demand for innovative networking products, favoring prospects of prominent industry players like Cisco Systems, Inc. CSCO, Extreme Networks EXTR and RADCOM, Inc. RDCM. Heightened uncertainty prevailing over global macroeconomic conditions and volatile supply-chain dynamics amid tariff troubles continue to be concerning for industry participants. Some telecom operators are reducing or delaying capital expenditures due to economic uncertainty. Fierce competition is an overhang on pricing power and margin expansion. Industry Description The Zacks Computer - Networking industry comprises companies that offer networking and Internet-connected products, including wireless (Wi-Fi and Long-Term Evolution or LTE), Ethernet and powerline, focusing on dependability and ease of use. The products are available in numerous configurations to cater to the changing requirements of consumers in each geographic territory where it operates. Some industry players also provide mission-critical IoT solutions and network security services to help clients build next-generation connected products and implement and manage critical communications infrastructures in demanding environments with enhanced safety levels. Focus on developing IoT sensors, drones and wearables amid increasing demand for cloud computing-based contact tracing applications is driving the industry. 4 Trends Influencing the Industry's Future Innovation in Networking Technologies Opening Business Avenues: The growing clout of Smart Home and Internet-connected products, such as Smart TVs, game consoles, High Definition (HD) streaming players, security cameras, thermostats and smoke detectors continue to drive innovations in networking. The rapid proliferation of IoT, the increasing popularity of smart connected devices and the growing adoption of cloud computing in network security fuel the demand for an efficient network support infrastructure. The advancements in AI and ML, as well as the high adoption of cloud applications, hold immense potential for companies in the industry. Enterprises are striving to manage fixed and wireless devices in a secure infrastructure. To address the demand, industry firms are driving innovation in networking technologies, including network virtualization and Software-Defined Networking, which favor growth prospects. Rapid Deployment of 5G to Boost Growth Prospects: The success of the 5G technology hinges on substantial investments to upgrade infrastructure in the core fiber backhaul network to support growth in data services. Efforts to develop smart connected homes, hospitals, factories, buildings, cities and self-driving vehicles bode well for industry players. These firms invest heavily in LTE, broadband and fiber to provide additional capacity and improve Internet and wireless networks. These initiatives hold promise. Wi-Fi 7 Upgrade Cycle to Drive Momentum: Brisk technological advancement, dynamic products, high-speed connectivity, low latency and evolving industry standards define the Computer - Networking industry. The growing clout of the latest Wi-Fi 6E-compliant residential gateways, Wi-Fi routers, set-top boxes and wireless range extenders is a testament to the same. The increasing demand for connecting more devices to the network has been driving demand for Wi-Fi 6E devices. Wi-Fi 6E addresses Wi-Fi spectrum shortage issues by providing continuous channel bandwidth to support a higher number of connected devices without compromising speed. The rollout of Wi-Fi 7 bodes well for the companies in this space. Macroeconomic Turmoil is Concerning: Global macroeconomic weakness and volatile supply-chain dynamics are persistent concerns. Tariff troubles, especially between the United States and China, remain an overhang on global supply chains. Inflation could affect spending across small and medium-sized businesses globally, and uncertainty in business visibility could dent the industry\u2019s near-term performance. Zacks Industry Rank Indicates Bright Near-Term Prospects The Zacks Computer - Networking Industry is housed within the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector. It carries a Zacks Industry Rank #99, positioning it in the top 40% of more than 246 Zacks industries. The group\u2019s Zacks Industry Rank, which is the average of the Zacks Rank of all the member stocks, indicates bright near-term prospects. Our research shows that the top 50% of the Zacks-ranked industries outperform the bottom 50% by a factor of more than two to one. Before we present a few stocks you may want to consider for your portfolio, considering bright prospects, let us look at the industry\u2019s recent stock-market performance and valuation picture. Industry Outperforms S&P 500 & Sector The Zacks Computer \u2013 Networking industry has outperformed the S&P 500 Composite and the broader Zacks Computer and Technology sector in the past year. The industry has gained 31.3% over this period compared with the broader sector\u2019s rally of 18.3%. The S&P 500 has appreciated 13.9% over the same time frame. One-Year Price Performance Industry's Current Valuation Based on the forward 12-month price-to-earnings ratio (P/E), which is a common multiple for valuing Computer \u2013 Networking stocks, the industry is currently trading at 20.27X compared with the S&P 500\u2019s 22.52X. It is also below the sector\u2019s forward-12-month P/E of 27.18X. In the past five years, the industry traded as high as 21.39X and as low as 16.86X, with media being at 19.36X, as the charts below show. Forward 12-Month P/E Ratio 3 Computer - Networking Stocks to Add to Portfolio Extreme Networks: Based in Morrisville, NC, the company provides AI-driven cloud networking solutions. Strong demand for the company\u2019s wired and wireless network solutions is driving revenues, as reflected by 20% year-over-year revenue growth in the last reported quarter. Extreme\u2019s launch of Platform ONE, an AI-driven, holistic networking solution, marks a major innovation milestone. Momentum in subscription bookings is expected to grow with the adoption of Platform ONE and drive up SaaS annual recurring revenues (ARR). In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, SaaS ARR rose 24.4% year over year to $207.6 million. Increased footprint in EMEA and APAC bodes well. Driven by strong momentum, EXTR expects revenues to be $1.238 billion to $1.228 billion for fiscal 2026. Nonetheless, heavy reliance on product revenues and competitive pressures remains concerning. At present, EXTR carries a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy). You can see the complete list of today\u2019s Zacks #1 Rank (Strong Buy) stocks here. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2025 bottom line is pegged at $1.02 per share, unchanged in the past seven days. Shares have gained 34.1% in the past year. Price & Consensus: EXTR Cisco: Cisco is one of the largest players in the networking space. The company has a strong presence in the router and switch market. Its aggressive AI push and growing security dominance are noteworthy. Cisco is embedding AI across Security and Collaboration platforms and developing Agentic capabilities across the portfolio. It is leveraging Agentic AI to boost customer experience. The launch of Renewals Agent, an Agentic AI-driven solution co-developed with Mistral, and a new Assistant to help customers digitize and de-risk Network Change Management have been notable developments in this regard. Cisco has deepened its partnership with NVIDIA to offer solutions that enable AI-ready data center networks. By integrating Cisco Nexus switches with NVIDIA\u2019s Spectrum-X architecture, the companies are offering high-speed, low-latency networking designed for AI clusters, driving enterprise AI orders. Additionally, the Cisco Secure AI Factory with NVIDIA offers a trusted framework for sovereign cloud providers and emerging Neo cloud providers to build safe and AI-optimized data centers. Cisco\u2019s security business is gaining from solid demand for both Cisco Secure Access, Hypershield and XDR. Secure Access, XDR, Hypershield and AI Defense added 750 new customers in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025. However, challenging macroeconomic conditions, as well as stiff competition in the networking and security domain, are expected to hurt Cisco\u2019s prospects in the near term. At present, CSCO carries a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold). The Zacks Consensus Estimate for fiscal 2026 earnings is pegged at $4.02 per share, improved from an estimate of $4.00 per share in the past 60 days. Shares have gained 33.5% in the past year. Price & Consensus: CSCO RADCOM: This Tel Aviv, Israel-based company specializes in providing cloud-native, automated service assurance offerings for telecommunication operators for 5G networks. RDCM is focusing on global sales expansion and deepening its strategic partnerships, with a clear push into AI-powered and accelerated computing solutions. It is simplifying automated assurance for AI-driven networks to access \u201cpreviously untapped markets.\u201d It is continually investing in research and development to strengthen its leadership in 5G assurance, expand its solution offerings and support operators in their transition to next-generation networks. RADCOM\u2019s team up with NVIDIA, announced earlier in 2025, is already showing traction with many customers having advanced from discussions to lab deployments of RADCOM\u2019s high-capacity user analytics solution. On the last earnings call, RDCM highlighted that this validates the relevance of its solutions and the distinct competitive differentiation. Fueled by a healthy sales pipeline, strong customer relationships and the market\u2019s continued shift toward intelligent, automated, real-time assurance, RADCOM reaffirmed its full-year revenue growth target of 15%\u201318%, translating to a midpoint projection of $71.1 million. Nonetheless, customer concentration, currency headwinds and rising costs could undermine growth prospects. At present, RDCM carries a Zacks Rank #3. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for 2025 bottom line is pegged at earnings of 91 cents per share, unchanged in the past seven days. Shares have skyrocketed 34.5% in the past year.

Across the three major U.S. indexes, here were the notable movers and losers from each index: S&P Gainers: Eli Lilly (LLY) (+5.81%), GE Vernova (GEV) (+3.92%), Boeing (BA) (+3.51%) Nasdaq 100 Gainers: Applovin (APP) (+4.14%), Regeneron (REGN) (+2.67%), Strategy (MSTR) (+2.38%). (Strategy is the brand name for Micro Strategy.) Dow Gainers: Boeing BA (+3.51%), Cisco (CSCO) (+1.86%), Goldman Sachs (GS) (+1.38%) S&P Losers: Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) (-6.91%), eBay (EBAY) (-3.97%), Brown-Forman (BF.B) (-3.80%), Nasdaq 100 Losers: Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) (-6.91%), PenDuoDuo (PDD) (-3.35%), Charter (CHTR) (-2.48%) Dow Losers: Salesforce (CRM) (-1.65%), UnitedHealth Group UNH (-1.46%), Verizon (VZ) (-0.57%) What started as a tumultuous morning of Trump-flavored jitters has ended up in a surprising end-of-day rally. The stock market is now closed for the day. The Russell 2000 (+0.86%) stayed out front, overwhelmingly in the green. It hit a 9-month high today. It's still only up 5.8% year-to-date. The index was trailed by the Nasdaq Composite (+0.44%), S&P 500 (+0.43%), and Dow (+0.32%). More updates will be coming in short order. We've heard enough from what Wall Street thinks the stock market will do. How about Main Street? They're not betting on black, at least if you take the Conference Board's newly-released Consumer Confidence Index data at face. Read the full story here: Related: Wall Street bets the stock market will keep soaring. Main Street isn't so sure. Per Bloomberg's Jess Menton, hedge funds and institutions are now shorting the CBOE Volatility Index at levels not seen since Sept. 2022. That move might rouse new concerns about a market already at record highs and generationally-high valuations. Read the full story here: Related: Hedge funds are placing risky bets on the U.S. stock market \u2014 here's why to worry We're officially approaching midday on the market. Three U.S. indexes are now in the green. The Russell 2000 (+0.65%) is still out in front, trailed by the narrow gains in the Nasdaq (+0.16%), the S&P 500 (+0.07%) and the Dow (-0.01%). Here's the Russell 3000 index, which tells a lot about investors' indecisiveness today. While there are pockets of green and red, the market seems to be a very stale grey across the board: There are some stocks that are greener and redder, though. In fact, some of them are stars in our midday movers. Here are the five we're watching today: Pharma giant Eli Lilly (LLY) (+4.5%) might have a new blockbuster on their hands in orforglipron, an oral weight loss pill that just met the primary endpoint in its phase 3 trial, setting up a submission for approval by the Food & Drug Administration in 2026. Patients reduced A1C by 1.3% to 1.6%, while patients lost an average of 27.3 pounds in the first of two studies. That will give Lilly a new option in their weight loss drug portfolio, which already includes Mounjaro and Zepbound. Dish Network and Boost Mobile parent EchoStar (SATS) (+75.6%) is soaring today after announcing a $23 billion deal to sell its spectrum licenses to AT&T (T) . The deal comes after months of pressure from U.S. regulators, who grew increasingly frustrated with the pace of the company's network build-out. The proceeds will help the company stave off a bankruptcy filing by paying off debt and funding new growth ventures. Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) (-5%) is still plummeting after announcing a plan to purchase JDE Peet's for $18 billion. At the close of the deal, the company plans to \""separate\"" into two businesses; one dedicated to coffee, another for soft drinks. While cost-savings have been touted from the deal, many investors are still nervous; KDP has fallen 16% over the last two trading days. The Kentucky-based spirits giant behind Jack Daniel's and Woodford Reserve, Brown-Forman (BF.B) (-2.8%), announced Tuesday morning that CFO Leanne Cunningham would retire next May. Cunningham has served in the role since mid-2021. The company says it would start the search for a new financial leader. New York Times Co NYT (+0.17%) fell intraday after a report that activist investor Fivespan took a stake in the paper, which has seen near-double digit revenue growth in recent quarters. The company is urging the company to use AI to increase the number of subscribers, comparing the opportunity to tech-focused firms like Netflix (NFLX) and Spotify (SPOT) , which are not terribly similar as businesses. The Russell 2000 (+0.65%) is still standing high and mighty, while the Nasdaq (+0.15%) has added to its modest gains. Meanwhile, the S&P 500 (+0.01%) and the Dow (-0.13%) have not come along with. However, we've gotten the last major economic datapoints of the day in the last few hours. Among them are the Conference Board's Consumer Confidence Index, the Richmond Fed's Manufacturing Index, and the Dallas Fed Services Index. All three rose month-over-month, a welcome sign. CB Consumer Confidence (Aug): 97.4 (vs. 98.7 in July; 96.2 expected) Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index: -7 (vs. -20 in July; -17 expected) Dallas Fed Services Index: 6.8 (vs. 2.0 in July) Zooming in on the Consumer Confidence data, there was a small dip in August, but ultimately little change. The decline was primarily led by consumers under 35, while economic outlooks remained stable for consumers 35-55 and rose for those over 55. Although not included in the actual calculation, the share of consumers who expect a recession in the next 12 months rose to their highest level since April. The market is finally open. The Russell 2000 (+0.50%) is standing above the crowd this morning, while the Nasdaq (+0.09%), S&P 500 (+0.02%) and Dow (+0.00%) are all lagging behind. Still, it's better than the alternative; at one point this morning, all four stock indexes were looking red to start the day. Many of the biggest economic data reports of the day have dropped in the last 30 minutes. Among them are Durable Goods orders, Redbook, and the S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price Index. Here are those reports: Durable Goods (Jul): -2.8% MoM (vs. -9.4% MoM in June) Redbook: +6.5% YoY S&P/Case-Shiller Home Price (Jun): +2.6% YoY; -0% MoM (vs. +2.9% YoY, +0.4% MoM in May) In the S&P/Case-Shiller report, home price growth in the 20-City Home Price Index rose slower, +2.1% YoY (vs. +2.8% in June). Prices declined -0.2% MoM. Our next big data drop will be at 10 a.m. ET, which will include the CB Consumer Confidence Index and Richmond Fed Manufacturing Index. We'll update this thread with that, and the Dallas Fed Services Index, a little after 10:30 a.m. ET. Aside from the Trump news that's stirring the pot this morning, here are a few other headlines that are crossing the wire this morning (and bound to make an impact on early trading): AT&T (T) will spend $23 billion to buy 5G spectrum licenses from Dish Network parent EchoStar (SATS) , which has been under pressure to sell its 5G spectrum after failing to build a 5G network of its own. Eli Lilly's oral weight loss pill, orforglipron, cleared its primary endpoint in a crucial phase 3 trial, a move which will clear its way for approval next year. International Business Machines IBM and Advanced Micro Devices have announced a partnership to \""develop quantum-centric supercomputing\"", per Axios. Spotify is reportedly considering raising prices in new markets after launching a new direct messaging (DM) feature to the platform, per FT. Trump Media will add the Crypto.com wallet to the company's social media platforms as part of a \""strategic partnership.\"" New research from Stanford University economists has found \""clear, evident change\"" from the impact of AI on entry-level hiring, per WSJ. In case you're just joining us this morning... U.S. equities are down in futures trading, led lower by the Nasdaq (-0.22%) Gold is up, rising 0.27% The 30Y Treasury yield jumped 2.8 basis points to 4.917% The U.S. Dollar Index is down 0.27% The early morning movements are a product of jitters kicked up by two posts that President Trump made last night. One took aim at the Fed, the other at countries floating possible ways to offset the impact of American tech. The first of the two took aim at the Fed's Lisa Cook, who Trump and allies have been trying to push out of the central bank's top governing board on allegations that she committed mortgage fraud. Trump attempted to fire Cook, but she said she isn't going, claiming he has \""no authority.\"" Related: Trump rebuffed by Fed Governor who he tried to fire Not long after, Trump sounded off about countries seeking to tax, regulate, or legislate \""incredible American tech companies,\"" likely taking aim at policies by the European Union and other countries, which have created legislation that allows the bloc to levy significant fines against conglomerates acting in ways they consider anticompetitive. Related: Trump vows retaliation against countries proposing digital taxes or regulation on American tech giants Both developments are creating waves this morning. At the same time, the President and team have indicated a desire to expand investments in key domestic industries, building a sovereign wealth fund-like investment vehicle to make strategic investments. Trump has also signaled a willingness to expand the U.S. military and national guard's presence from Washington, D.C. to Chicago, expanding a federal crackdown his administration says is about taking on crime. Today, there are 36 earnings calls slated, per data from Nasdaq. Among them are reports from the Bank of Montreal (BMO) , insurance goliath Prudential (PUK) , and software firms like MongoDB (MDB) , Okta (OKTA) , and Box (BOX) , among others.

DataPelago announced last week that its Nucleus universal engine outperformed Nvidia's GPU-accelerated DataFrame library cuDF by wide margins, raising the roofline of GPU-accelerated data processing and transforming the economics of artificial intelligence infrastructure. Don't Miss: The same firms that backed Uber, Venmo and eBay are investing in this pre-IPO company disrupting a $1.8T market \u2014 and you can too at just $2.90/share. \u2018Scrolling To UBI' \u2014 Deloitte's #1 fastest-growing software company allows users to earn money on their phones. You can invest today for just $0.30/share. DataPelago showed Nucleus outperforming Nvidia's cuDF in compute-intensive workloads on Nvidia GPUs. The universal engine operates across heterogeneous hardware, from central processing units to GPUs, without requiring any code or infrastructure changes. DataPelago released benchmark results showing its Nucleus delivering up to 10.5 times faster project operations, 10.1 times faster filters, and 4.3 times faster aggregations compared to cuDF. In string-heavy hash join tests, Nucleus recorded throughput 38.6 times higher than cuDF on small strings and nearly four times higher on extra-large strings. Nvidia introduced cuDF in 2018 as part of its RAPIDS suite, designed to unlock GPU acceleration for data science and AI workloads. While cuDF sped up pipelines over CPU libraries, Fast Company says it remained tied to Nvidia GPUs, compute unified device architecture compatibility, and memory limits that created vendor lock-in for enterprises. Trending: An EA Co-Founder Shapes This VC Backed Marketplace\u2014Now You Can Invest in Gaming's Next Big Platform DataPelago CEO Rajan Goyal told Fast Company that the industry needs software that \""fully leverages the hardware's strengths while compensating for its limitations\"" through fresh algorithms built for modern workloads. Goyal added in the company statement that GPUs offer unmatched parallel power but remain underutilized due to legacy software. He said Nucleus \""raises the roofline,\"" leveraging innovative execution layers like kernel fusion, multi-column support, and zero-copy string optimization. DataPelago says Nucleus is hardware-neutral, able to run across CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators while integrating seamlessly with frameworks like Spark without code rewrites. DataPelago President JG Chirapurath told Fast Company that this lets firms realize \""far greater performance from existing hardware investments,\"" a key appeal for enterprises already facing rising GPU cloud costs.

According to Fast Company, DataPelago has raised $47 million in seed and Series A funding from Eclipse, Qualcomm Ventures, and Taiwania Capital. Goyal, who previously held leadership roles at Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) and Oracle (NYSE:ORCL), recently hired Chirapurath to help accelerate adoption. Analysts such as Forrester's Alvin Nguyen caution that while the benchmark results are striking, adoption could be slowed by developer reliance on Nvidia's ecosystem and the upfront effort required to transition to new tools. However, Fast Company says that reducing vendor lock-in and improving economics for AI pipelines will appeal to enterprises under pressure to optimize costs. The broader implication is that AI performance gains may be defined by the intelligence of the software that orchestrates it, no longer solely by hardware. For years, the story centered on shortages of GPUs, but now, Fast Company says DataPelago's Nucleus suggests the next breakthrough may come from how those GPUs are harnessed rather than how many can be manufactured.

Real change happens when empowered people can access, trust, learn, and adopt AI technology. The most profound convergence of human potential and AI is happening in Africa, where a dynamic, young generation is positioned to drive bold innovation. In my conversations with global leaders and communities, we agree: the continent's evolving workforce will power our tomorrow. This is the decisive moment to unlock its potential, to shape the collective future we aspire - for the African continent and beyond. Why now: Africa's People Advantage The continent's greatest strength lies in its people, who are leading the world in AI adoption with an entrepreneurial spirit that fuels innovation: 78% of Africa's youth use AI tools weekly, outpacing peers in Europe and the U.S.; 75% of Africa's youth plan to start a business in the next 5 years; nearly 80% of new startups are digital-first; And African women are leading the way as new business owners at twice the global average. Yet, the continent's AI talent pool stands at only 5,000 professionals, far short of the 230 million jobs needing digital skills by 2030. Fewer than 25% of African university students pursue STEM fields, and only 30% of the higher education students in STEM are women. Additionally, 70,000 skilled professionals leave the continent each year. The journey to full AI workforce readiness is a steep climb - but the opportunity is now to harness the AI workforce potential. Here's how we can turn vision into meaningful, lasting impact. Africa's Opportunity: Building the World's Largest AI Workforce Cisco and Carnegie Mellon University Africa's (CMU-Africa) recently released the report \""AI and the Workforce in Africa: Realizing the Region's Potential Through Public and Private Sector Collaboration\"". The paper gives a clear view of the African continent's AI readiness, looking at both the infrastructure and the skills needed to make it happen. For Africa, this is a first - bringing AI, policy, economic modelling, and practical workforce solutions into one integrated roadmap. It shows AI adoption and workforce growth must advance together, to shape the digital future across the continent and the global stage. Most importantly, it changes the narrative. Africa is not just a passive receiver of AI but is poised to leapfrog into AI leadership. But only if it invests strategically in its people as evidenced in the report: By 2030, 75% of Africans will be under 35, accounting for 42% of the world's youth. By 2050 the continent is expected to host one-quarter of the world's working-age population. AI adoption is poised to boost Africa's economy by USD 2.9 trillion by 2030 with high-impact sectors like agriculture, finance, and the large informal economy primed for substantial gains. The latest AI Readiness Rankings for African Countries, highlight a widening but actionable gap across the continent. This vision is also one of the shared responsibility for governments, industries and civil societies. Together, it is a call to unite in purposeful, collective action to scale digital and physical infrastructure, build a resilient AI-ready workforce, and drive innovation for sustainable growth. To fully activate AI's potential for the continental economy, the report presents phased policy recommendations across: Short-term: Such as on-the-job learning incentives to create a strong link between education, hands-on training, and actual work demands - like in Germany, where youth unemployment is just 6.6%. Medium-term: For instance, integrating AI and digital skills into the national curricula at all educational levels - beyond coding to include ethics, cultural context, and domain-specific applications. Long-term: Like accelerating infrastructure modernization via data embassy partnerships; like Estonia's data embassy in Luxembourg, which secures key government systems under diplomatic protections. The Cisco and CMU-Africa study reinforces that this moment is not just about the African continent, but about our shared global future. An AI blueprint which is designed for all to get access to participate in the AI economy. Investing in these foundations today will empower future generations to just follow AI-enabled change but lead it. Cisco and Africa: Enabling AI-ready Learning and Skills At Cisco, we're grateful to play a part in this collective journey. Closing Africa's skills gap begins with something deeply human: fostering a learning culture that empowers people to use, shape, lead, and responsibly guide technology. Learning AI is also about unlocking human potential in service of a more inclusive world. Through Cisco's Country Digital Acceleration (CDA) initiatives and partnerships across the continent, we remain committed to supporting its AI transformation. Below are a few highlights from this ongoing work, a hopeful reminder that meaningful progress is happening. Cisco learning programs have already reached 1.8 million Africans. Cisco Networking Academy has empowered 1.6 million learners, including over 500,000 women. Cisco's partner the Raspberry Pi Foundation's Code Club engages 3 million young people annually, with a strong focus on female participation. Through the Harambe Entrepreneur Alliance, we continue to identify and support promising young African entrepreneurs with training, mentorship, funding, and access to markets. As co-host of the ITU Digital Transformation Centers (DTCs) initiative, with eight centers across Africa we have trained thousands in basic and intermediate digital skills. We launched a Secure Access data center region in Cape Town, helping strengthen digital infrastructure. And looking forward, we've launched a USD 1 billion global AI investment fund, designed to accelerate the development of secure, trusted AI. This includes a focus on startups in healthcare, finance, and energy to help innovators scale with not just capital, but Cisco's global network and technical expertise. Purpose Meets Partnership to Power the Next Generation This work is part of how Cisco brings its Purpose to life - to power an inclusive future for all. It's also a testament to what becomes possible when purpose meets partnership. Every milestone is only possible by working alongside governments, educators, entrepreneurs, and changemakers who share our belief in the power of people and connection. The African continent's workforce is not just part of our collective future; it's at the heart of it as AI learning opens new possibilities to participate fully in the digital age. But realizing this future requires us to move forward together, with coordinated investment in education, resilient digital infrastructure, and the skills that will power the next generation.

View the original press release on ACCESS Newswire"", ""How Cisco Systems\u2019 CIO is rethinking work in an AI-powered world for the company\u2019s 10,000 IT employees Fletcher Previn says advancements in generative artificial intelligence are leading him to rethink workflows not just for Cisco Systems\u2019 10,000 IT workers, a department that operates on a $1.54 billion annual budget, but also the broader employee base of around 90,400. He favors a collaborative approach that takes into consideration input from both the C-suite and workers. \u201cThere\u2019s the bottom up inertia of people asking for access to tools, and then there\u2019s the top-down inertia of saying, \u2018Here\u2019s how we see this role evolving,\u2019\u201d says Previn, who has served as chief information officer at the networking-equipment company since 2021. \u201cYou sort of have both trying to meet in the middle.\u201d What that means for his work as CIO is finding ways to improve worker productivity, including giving developers more access to AI coding tools like Cursor, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot. Cisco Systems is closely monitoring adoption of these tools, as well as the amount of code that\u2019s accepted by developers. Around 70% of the company\u2019s 20,000 developers log into AI coding tools at least once per month. The acceptance rate for AI-generated code is around 24% and while that may not sound too impressive, Previn says it is a big leap from 4% nearly a year ago. \u201cAI is getting better,\u201d he adds. \u201cIt\u2019s supporting more programming languages. Developers are getting more comfortable with it.\u201d Over time, he hopes that as much as 70% of Cisco Systems\u2019 code will be AI generated. There\u2019s also the ongoing work that Previn is doing to rethink the IT function\u2019s work and responsibilities. He is reevaluating the primary work done for each role, as well as job titles, the ways to reevaluate work with AI tools, and what future training may be required to support such big, sweeping changes. Cisco Systems has also made some investments in AI applications that improve productivity to support the non-technical workforce. Some examples include using AI to do more intelligent onboarding, which allows for Cisco to more accurately assess exactly what tools or software are needed to support the role a new employee is hired for. Cisco Systems is also using AI for planning hardware updates. Most companies refresh their laptops every two-to-four years. But by using AI to detect a laptop\u2019s memory, application performance, and network telemetry, Cisco Systems can decipher the difference between performance problems that can be fixed by the IT team versus when a device may fail and will need to be replaced. Upgrading laptops is a \u201csignificant amount of money at a company of our size,\u201d says Previn. \u201cAnd sometimes a lot of people are perfectly happy with the laptop they have.\u201d While Cisco Systems generates nearly $57 billion in annual revenue, large enough to rank 83rd on the Fortune 500, the company competes aggressively for tech talent in an arms race that has accelerated this year as the generative AI boom continues to expand. To lure skilled workers, Previn says he prioritizes creating a workplace that encourages \u201cemotional safety for people to be able to innovate and experiment and fail fast.\u201d Another key pillar of Previn\u2019s strategy involves recognizing IT\u2019s operation to do all work by a singular platform. There are separate teams organized cross functionally\u2014one to support Workday, another for SAP, and yet another for Oracle\u2014that are made up of around six-to-ten employees who have all the necessary skills to advance an internal tech project into production. This allows small teams to operate independently. \u201cThere\u2019s a huge productivity loss when you\u2019re kind of dynamically forming and un-forming teams by project,\u201d asserts Previn. Previn says Cisco Systems fields a lot of pitches from the software-as-a-service providers it works with to add on more expensive AI capabilities. He progresses cautiously on that front. \u201cYou can consume all of those things, but run the risk of controlled cost,\u201d says Previn. \u201cIt can create employee experience confusion, similar to what we had when chatbots started to become a thing.\u201d He expects that generative AI will increasingly evolve to become an agent-to-agent world, a digital workforce that can perform tasks on behalf of workers, sometimes autonomously and in coordination with each other. That involves an inverted approach to how employees engage with technology. Rather than an employee asking an AI search tool, \u201cWhere\u2019s the link to Workday?\u201d they could instead say, \u201cI\u2019m taking a vacation on Friday.\u201d Agentic AI could then do the rest: block off calendars, cancel meetings, and put up an out-of-office message. Cisco Systems has developed the company\u2019s own internal digital AI teammate that helps the company\u2019s employees find and understand general information more quickly. Rather than an employee being asked to toggle between different language models or select if the data they want to access is publicly available or is internal information, the AI assistant infers intent and determines the appropriate selections. Previn says this approach is an evolution of his thinking that Cisco Systems can\u2019t assume that workers are up to date on which AI models are most advanced and best match the tasks they are trying to complete. \u201cThe rate of innovation in AI is happening so quickly that if you find out your developers are using a language model that is six months old, then effectively, all the software you\u2019re writing is already six months out of date,\u201d says Previn.

Yet, near-term contract timing issues clouded investor sentiment, sending shares lower. The company reported fourth-quarter revenue of $653.3 million, a 19% increase from the prior year and above guidance, as it benefited from steady new customer additions and expanding enterprise adoption. However, annual recurring revenue (ARR) and net revenue retention (NRR) faced temporary headwinds from contracts with deferred start dates. Needham analyst Mike Cikos reiterated a Buy rating on Nutanix on Thursday but trimmed his price forecast to $80 from $92, citing near-term valuation pressure while maintaining confidence in the company's long-term trajectory. Also Read: Nutanix Stock Slides After Q4 Earnings Report In his note to investors, he pointed to Nutanix's strong execution, broadening ecosystem partnerships with Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO), Dell (NYSE:DELL), and Pure Storage (NYSE:PSTG), as well as early adoption of its Nutanix Cloud Infrastructure (NCI) Compute platform as key growth catalysts. Fiscal 2025 closed on a strong note, with Nutanix demonstrating execution against large strategic opportunities while building momentum for fiscal 2026, Cikos noted, adding that the company remains well-positioned to capture market share following Broadcom's (NASDAQ:AVGO) acquisition of VMware, which has prompted enterprise customers to explore alternatives. Since its April 2025 launch, Nutanix's NCI Compute platform has gained early traction, with Dell PowerFlex already integrated and Pure Storage support expected by year-end. Cikos views the platform as a significant driver of revenue, margin expansion, and free cash flow in the coming years. Cikos said, \u201cWe believe ongoing execution given the enhanced product offering paired with the scaling go-to-market partnerships and share-shift from VMware can drive shares higher.\u201d For fiscal 2026, management projected revenue between $2.90 billion and $2.94 billion, operating margins of 21%\u201322%, and free cash flow of $790\u2013$830 million. Needham's estimates sit near the midpoint of those ranges, with revenue at $2.92 billion and free cash flow at $792.8 million. Cikos described management's forecast for a 28% free cash flow margin as conservative. In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, Nutanix expects revenue of $670\u2013$680 million, operating margins of 19.5%\u201320.5%, and earnings per share of 37 cents on roughly 296 million shares outstanding. The company anticipates adding several hundred new customers per quarter while continuing to grow renewal ACV and expand partner-led revenue contributions. Despite lowering his price forecast, Cikos emphasized Nutanix's ability to sustain durable growth through deepened partnerships, broader adoption of its cloud infrastructure platform, and rising opportunities in AI-driven and hybrid cloud environments.

Cisco Systems\u2019 CSCO security business is benefiting from strong demand for Cisco Secure Access, Hypershield and XDR. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025, orders grew mid-single-digit. Splunk and Cisco synergies reported 14% year-over-year growth in new logos for Splunk. Secure Access, XDR, Hypershield and AI Defense added 750 new customers collectively in the reported quarter. Security revenues were $1.95 billion, up 9% year over year, driven by growth in Cisco\u2019s offerings from Splunk and SASE. In terms of order growth, Cisco saw mid-single-digit growth in the fiscal fourth quarter. Excluding sluggish U.S. federal order growth, rest of the world security order growth increased double digits in the fiscal fourth quarter. Cisco\u2019s collaboration with NVIDIA NVDA, under which the company integrates Nexus switches with Spectrum-X architecture and advances Secure AI Factory solutions, strengthens Cisco\u2019s leadership in the long run. The company believes that by fusing security deep into the network, agentic AI can only be secured, and Cisco is well-positioned to deliver this capability. Apart from growing security traction, Cisco\u2019s diversified portfolio, strong hyperscaler relationships and expanding presence with emerging cloud clients provide a solid foundation for sustained growth. Cisco expects first-quarter fiscal 2026 revenues between $14.65 billion and $14.85 billion. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for first-quarter fiscal 2026 is pegged at $14.77 billion, indicating 6.7% growth from the figure reported in the year-ago quarter.

Zacks Investment Research"", ""Cisco (CSCO) Provides Bullish Guidance on AI Infrastructure Momentum Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) is one of the top tech stocks to buy now according to Goldman Sachs. On August 22, the company demonstrated that it is redefining its growth trajectory. Cisco is leveraging over $2 billion in AI infrastructure orders, expanding its software and services revenue, and initiating a major enterprise networking upgrade cycle \u2013 all of which position it as a stable yet growth-oriented tech leader. Ken Wolter / Shutterstock.com In its Q4 2025 earnings report, the company projected the FY2026 revenue to be between $59 billion and $60 billion, and non-GAAP EPS of $4.00 to $4.06. Three distinct growth engines underpin this bullish guidance. First, the AI infrastructure momentum. For context, the company secured over $2 billion in AI-related orders in fiscal year 2025, surpassing its initial target by a factor of two. Its 800G Ethernet and Nexus switches are critical to AI data center buildouts, and the company\u2019s customer base is expanding. Second, software and services transformation. This is evident in the fact that Cisco now has $31.1 billion in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR) following the acquisition of Splunk; subscription revenue accounts for approximately 54% of total revenue; and the company now leads in cybersecurity and observability. Lastly, the enterprise networking refresh cycle. For instance, the launch of Catalyst 9000 smart switches triggers a multi-year upgrade cycle; AI workloads require faster, more secure on-prem networks; and legacy systems are ripe for replacement, creating a reliable revenue stream. Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) designs and sells networking hardware, software, and telecommunications equipment that power enterprise, service provider, and government IT infrastructures. Its core offerings include routers, switches, cybersecurity solutions, and collaboration platforms like Webex.

In the rapidly evolving landscape of cybersecurity, Fortinet FTNT and Cisco Systems CSCO stand as two titans competing for dominance in the network security market. Both companies offer comprehensive enterprise-grade security solutions, though their approaches differ significantly \u2014Fortinet maintains a pure-play focus on integrated security platforms, while Cisco blends security offerings with its broader networking portfolio. With the network security market estimated at $24.95 billion in 2025 and projected to reach $42.93 billion by 2030, representing a compound annual growth rate of 11.47%, investors are keenly evaluating which stock offers superior growth potential. Let's delve deep and closely compare the fundamentals of the two stocks to determine which one is a better investment now. Fortinet's investment thesis rests on its exceptional execution and laser-focused strategy in the high-growth security market. The company delivered outstanding second-quarter results with revenues reaching $1.63 billion, representing 14% year-over-year growth, while billings surged 15% to $1.78 billion. This consistent double-digit expansion demonstrates Fortinet's ability to capture market share through its integrated Security Fabric platform. The company's financial strength is particularly evident in its industry-leading margins, with non-GAAP operating margin hitting 33% in the second quarter, showcasing superior operational efficiency. FTNT raised full-year 2025 billings guidance to $7.325-$7.475 billion, with revenues expected between $6.675 billion and $6.825 billion. The company's competitive advantages stem from its comprehensive FortiAI innovations, backed by more than 500 AI patents and 15 years of development expertise. Fortinet has emerged as a recognized leader across multiple Gartner Magic Quadrants, including SASE Platforms, Enterprise Wired and Wireless LAN Infrastructure, and SD-WAN. The expansion of FortiCloud with new services like FortiIdentity, FortiDrive, and FortiConnect demonstrates Fortinet's evolution beyond traditional firewalls into a comprehensive security ecosystem. Notably, the company's traction in high-growth segments is evident, with Unified SASE ARR growing 22% and Security Operations ARR expanding 35% year over year. These metrics underscore Fortinet's successful transition toward recurring revenue models while maintaining its position as the most deployed firewall vendor globally. Looking ahead, Fortinet faces the challenge of sustaining its premium growth rates in an increasingly competitive landscape. However, the company's proprietary ASIC-driven architecture provides significant performance advantages that competitors struggle to match. The recent launch of the FortiGate 700G series and enhanced FortiAnalyzer platform positions Fortinet to capitalize on the convergence of networking and security. With its singular focus on cybersecurity innovation and proven ability to deliver organic growth without major acquisitions, Fortinet appears well-positioned to continue outperforming market expectations through 2025 and beyond. Fortinet, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Fortinet, Inc. Quote Cisco's position in the network security market reflects both its substantial legacy strengths and the challenges of transformation. The networking giant reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenues of $14.67 billion, up 7.6% year over year, with product orders growing 7% across all geographies. Cisco's AI infrastructure orders from webscale customers exceeded $800 million, bringing the fiscal 2025 total to more than $2 billion \u2014 double the original target. The integration of Splunk represents both an opportunity and a burden for Cisco's security aspirations. While the acquisition enhances observability capabilities, the complex integration process has diverted resources and attention from core security innovation. Cisco's sprawling portfolio across networking, collaboration, and security creates operational complexity that hampers agility in the fast-moving security market. The company's fiscal first-quarter 2026 guidance of $14.65-$14.85 billion in revenues suggests modest growth expectations, with management acknowledging headwinds from tariff impacts and the ongoing challenge of converting AI infrastructure investments into meaningful revenues. The fundamental challenge facing Cisco is its struggle to maintain relevance in pure security while managing a vast, diverse technology portfolio. Despite introducing innovations like Hypershield and AI Defense, these offerings haven't gained the traction needed to offset declining momentum in traditional networking products. The company's security revenue growth appears impressive but comes from a smaller base and includes Splunk contributions, making organic growth difficult to assess. With increasing competition from focused players like Fortinet and emerging cloud-native security vendors, Cisco's ability to defend market share while pursuing costly AI infrastructure buildouts remains questionable. Cisco Systems, Inc. price-consensus-chart | Cisco Systems, Inc. Quote The valuation disparity between these stocks reveals market sentiment about their respective trajectories. Fortinet trades at a forward P/S ratio of 8.09X, commanding a significant premium over Cisco's 4.49X multiple. While this gap might initially suggest Fortinet is overvalued, the premium is justified by its superior growth profile and execution consistency. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Fortinet's revenues are projected to grow 13.29% to $6.75 billion in 2025, with earnings per share expected to increase 5.91% to $2.51. In contrast, Cisco's fiscal 2026 revenue growth is estimated at just 5.19% to $59.59 billion, with earnings expected to grow 5.77% at $4.03 per share, highlighting the growth differential that warrants Fortinet's richer valuation. Year-to-date, shares of Fortinet have declined 20% compared to Cisco\u2019s 14.6% gain. Investors may choose to consider Fortinet's focused strategy and consistent execution versus concerns about Cisco's complex transformation efforts. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Fortinet emerges as a superior investment opportunity, driven by its laser-focused security strategy, consistent double-digit revenue growth, and leadership in critical technologies like SASE and AI-powered threat detection. The company's integrated FortiOS platform, backed by over 500 AI patents, provides competitive advantages that translate into expanding margins and market share gains. While Cisco pursues ambitious AI infrastructure initiatives, its execution challenges, legacy portfolio complexity, and modest growth trajectory limit near-term upside potential. Fortinet's premium valuation is justified by its superior growth profile, operational excellence, and dominant position in high-value security segments. Investors should closely track Fortinet stock for attractive entry points during market volatility, while those considering Cisco should wait for clearer evidence of successful AI monetization and improved security momentum before establishing positions.

ANET has gained 79.7% in the past year compared to the Internet software industry\u2019s growth of 44.7%. The stock has outperformed the Zacks Computer & Technology sector and the S&P 500 during the same time frame. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research It has also outperformed its peers like Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company HPE and Cisco Systems, Inc. CSCO. HPE has gained 32.2% and Cisco soared 40.2% during this period. Arista continues to introduce leading-edge solutions for cloud, Internet service providers and enterprise networks to meet the rising demands of AI/ML-driven network architectures. These innovations enabled Arista to deliver a superior customer experience and increase customer engagement. As enterprises rush to integrate AI into their business processes, it is creating a major strain on their compute infrastructure. With high AI workloads, the exchange of large volumes of data takes a significant time to process due to an inefficient network. This poor network creates a bottleneck leading to idle cycles on GPUs, wastage of capital resources and raising operating costs. Hence, building an efficient network infrastructure has become paramount to improve GPU utilization. Arista\u2019s leading-edge Etherlink and EOS (Extensible Operating System) have effectively solved this issue. With the most comprehensive end-to-end portfolio offerings, Arista has become a preferred AI networking platform for several enterprises across sectors. Specifically, its growing prowess in scale-out back-end and scale-out front-end networking is a major tailwind. The industry is mostly dominated by NVIDIA GPUs, but Arista is also working on pilot projects on other AI accelerators such as AMD MI series. Such an initiative augurs well for long-term sustainable growth. Its strong focus on innovations is enabling the company to gain a competitive edge against its other competitors in the enterprise networking vertical, such as Cisco and HPE. Per a Precedence Research report, the AI in networks market size is projected to grow from $15.28 billion in 2025 to $192.34 billion in 2034 with a compound annual growth rate 32.51%. With its robust portfolio offerings, Arista stands to gain from this trend. Arista expects to generate $750 million in revenues from back-end AI networking, while aggregated AI networking revenue is projected to cross $1.5 billion in 2025. The acquisition of VeloCloud, a leading provider of AI-optimized SD-WAN solutions, also significantly boosted Arista\u2019s foothold in the data center and campus networking vertical. This is likely to boost commercial prospects. In the first six months of 2025, Arista generated $1.84 billion of net cash from operating activities compared with $1.5 billion in the year-ago period. In the second quarter, Arista generated $1.2 billion in cash from operations. The figure is the highest in Arista\u2019s history, reflecting strength in its business model. The company\u2019s debt-to-capital ratio stands at 0.0% compared with the industry\u2019s average of 16.2%. In the second quarter, its current ratio is 3.33, well above the industry\u2019s average of 1.95. A current ratio above 1 suggests that a company is well-positioned to meet its short-term obligations. Earnings estimates for Arista for 2025 and 2026 have increased over the past 60 days. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research From a valuation standpoint, Arista trades at a forward price-to-sales ratio of 18.14, higher than the industry. Image Source: Zacks Investment Research Arista is set to gain from strong demand trends in the AI networking verticals driven by its comprehensive portfolio and strong focus on innovation. Solid growth in cash flow underscores efficient capital management. Strong liquidity will enable it to make further investments in product development and acquisitions in the future. Northward estimate revision highlights growing confidence of investors about Arista\u2019s growth potential. Owing to these factors, Arista, which carries a Zacks Rank 2 (Buy), appears to be a good investment option currently.

Dublin, Sept. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The \""BYOD and Enterprise Mobility Market Report and Forecast 2025-2034\"" has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This report serves as a critical resource for understanding the global BYOD and enterprise mobility market dynamics, offering valuable insights into the competitive landscape and growth opportunities. The report breaks down the market by device, component, deployment type, vertical, and region, offering a granular view of the industry's future trajectory. Key players, including Microsoft, Cisco Systems, and Apple, are analyzed, highlighting their roles in shaping the market landscape through strategic developments. The global BYOD and enterprise mobility market is set to witness dynamic growth, with its value projected to swell from USD 40.80 billion in 2024 to USD 370.96 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 24.70% during 2025-2034. This surge is primarily driven by the swift deployment of cloud-computing environments across enterprises. Cloud-based solutions offer organizations enhanced data accessibility and computing capabilities without sacrificing corporate data security. Sectors such as healthcare are increasingly adopting BYOD to streamline clinical operations with the efficiency and speed required in critical processes. In the banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) sector, BYOD supports superior customer service and operational agility. Innovations by market leaders, including data encryption and device management features, are expected to expand the market share. The preference for personal devices for work-related tasks, alongside technological advancements and an increasing number of connected devices, is fueling the BYOD and enterprise mobility momentum. These programs improve employee satisfaction and productivity while reducing firm costs. They also offer a secure platform for remote work, which is essential with the growing remote workforce. Companies today are leveraging mobile technology to remain connected with remote employees, presenting both opportunities and challenges regarding security and productivity. Mobile devices have become integral to business operations, fostering the popularity of BYOD programs, which enable secure access to data and applications, playing a pivotal role in market expansion. Some of the profound advantages offered by BYOD include improved employee satisfaction, as personal devices typically increase comfort and eliminate the need to adjust to unfamiliar company-issued devices. Additionally, it leads to cost reductions by transferring data costs to users and reduces the maintenance burden on IT departments, allowing them to focus on more critical tasks. The necessity of enterprise mobility management (EMM) to secure corporate data on employee devices is expected to further stimulate market growth. EMM includes essential components like mobile device management, application security, and network security, ensuring data protection while fostering productivity.

On Tuesday, oil giant ConocoPhillips said it will slash up to 25% of its workforce , or about 3,250 roles \u2014 a pattern now visible across many other oil and gas companies. Chevron has likewise announced up to 9,000 cuts likely this year . Too much oil in the market and too little confidence in future demand have squeezed margins across the industry, so companies like Conoco and Chevron are leaning on job cuts to preserve cash flow. It makes sense, even if it\u2019s not a pretty trend. Layoffs at Big Tech companies also appear elevated, but the profit and growth story in that sector could hardly be more different. Even as companies post record second-quarter profits and boast of expanding margins and AI breakthroughs, players large and less-large are slashing headcount. On Wednesday, Salesforce posted a 10% revenue jump to $10.2 billion and an 11% rise in its favored demand metric. Profits surged, and buybacks ballooned by $20 billion. Yet the company also reportedly gutted 4,000 support jobs , with CEO Marc Benioff saying he \u201cneeds less heads\u201d as AI agents now handle about a million customer conversations. Oracle is also enjoying its own banner year. Shares are up 33% year to date, hitting record highs this summer as AI cloud demand spiked. Its most recent results , released mid-summer, showed sales growing by 11% to nearly $16 billion. Behind the scenes, however, state filings and worker posts show thousands of jobs disappearing across Seattle, California, Texas, and Kansas \u2014 longtime employees included. Oracle's next earnings are due Sept. 9 , with analysts predicting more positive financial news. Cisco is another example. The company recently said that hundreds of positions are set to be cut, many of them in software engineering. The announcement came even as the company reported an 8% rise in its recent quarter, with revenue rising to $14.7 billion. It also came on top of deep cuts in 2024, when Cisco eliminated some 5,000 jobs, or roughly 7% of its workforce, as part of a plan to redirect spending toward \u201chigh-growth areas.\u201d Cisco stock has risen about 15% year to date , behind some tech competitors, but still well ahead of the overall S&P 500. Microsoft, in its most recent quarter, posted sales of nearly $80 billion , and net income of $27 billion, up 24%, with earnings per share rising in tandem at 24%, too. Shares have risen some 20% this year , and the company has cut its workforce deeply at the very same time \u2014 with 15,000 workers laid off so far in 2025 . Amazon, which like Microsoft is spending tens of billions on various AI buildouts, has also cut jobs throughout 2025 , while also posting rocketing sales and profits . In its most recent release, CEO Andy Jassy expressly tied the growth to AI, saying: \u201cOur conviction that AI will change every customer experience is starting to play out as we\u2019ve expanded Alexa+ to millions of customers, continue to see our shopping agent used by many millions of customers, launched AI models like DeepFleet that optimize productivity paths for our 1M+ robots, made it much easier for software developers to write code with Kiro,\u201d on top of similar AI developments . \u201cOur AI progress across the board continues to improve our customer experiences, speed of innovation, operational efficiency, and business growth, and I\u2019m excited for what lies ahead,\u201d Jassy concluded. Bucking the overall tech-stock trend, Amazon shares have lagged the market so far this year. But taken together, the message appears clear. Efficiency is in, even if it comes at the expense of payrolls \u2014 or perhaps explicitly because it comes at the expense of payrolls. Wall Street keeps rewarding companies that adopt AI while trimming, automating, and streamlining. Meanwhile, for workers, the era of record profits feels more like an era of record precarity.""]" CSCO,2025-09-08,66.72,67.005,66.35,66.87, CSCO,2025-09-09,66.74,67.435,66.64,67.34, CSCO,2025-09-10,67.59,68.32,67.12,68.131, CSCO,2025-09-11,68.31,68.57,67.505,67.69, CSCO,2025-09-12,66.88,67.34,66.13,66.511, CSCO,2025-09-15,66.505,67.2,66.345,67.02, CSCO,2025-09-16,67.02,67.38,66.55,66.93, CSCO,2025-09-17,67.0,67.88,66.39,67.725, CSCO,2025-09-18,67.9,68.76,67.48,68.64, CSCO,2025-09-19,68.92,68.92,67.1802,68.21, CSCO,2025-09-22,67.86,68.0,67.3,67.75, CSCO,2025-09-23,67.58,68.22,67.07,67.54, CSCO,2025-09-24,67.7,67.865,66.89,67.32, CSCO,2025-09-25,67.32,68.235,67.1101,67.85, CSCO,2025-09-26,67.87,67.91,66.85,67.219, CSCO,2025-09-29,67.715,67.95,67.44,67.72, CSCO,2025-09-30,67.705,68.77,67.69,68.4, CSCO,2025-10-01,67.9,68.82,67.69,68.75, CSCO,2025-10-02,69.175,69.49,68.255,68.307, CSCO,2025-10-03,67.95,68.585,67.65,67.92, CSCO,2025-10-06,68.435,68.95,67.81,68.91, CSCO,2025-10-07,68.915,69.225,68.445,68.985, CSCO,2025-10-08,69.81,70.755,69.0,70.33, CSCO,2025-10-09,70.31,70.62,69.03,69.96, CSCO,2025-10-10,70.41,70.8093,67.89,67.94, CSCO,2025-10-13,68.55,68.89,67.13,67.46, CSCO,2025-10-14,67.11,69.16,66.8131,68.66, CSCO,2025-10-15,69.305,70.2999,68.82,69.56, CSCO,2025-10-16,69.78,70.07,68.57,69.09, CSCO,2025-10-17,69.06,70.77,68.95,70.13, CSCO,2025-10-20,70.12,70.97,70.12,70.65, CSCO,2025-10-21,70.58,71.2375,70.38,70.72, CSCO,2025-10-22,70.66,70.66,69.85,70.66, CSCO,2025-10-23,70.6,71.235,70.23,70.27, CSCO,2025-10-24,70.635,70.94,70.06,70.63, CSCO,2025-10-27,70.54,71.46,70.44,71.39, CSCO,2025-10-28,71.2,72.68,71.03,72.62, CSCO,2025-10-29,72.68,72.82,70.915,71.34, CSCO,2025-10-30,71.37,73.11,71.34,72.9, CSCO,2025-10-31,72.72,73.48,72.43,73.11, CSCO,2025-11-03,74.61,74.838,73.6243,74.45, CSCO,2025-11-04,73.9,73.99,71.98,72.32, CSCO,2025-11-05,72.22,72.58,71.34,72.1, CSCO,2025-11-06,71.71,72.23,70.6903,71.04, CSCO,2025-11-07,71.385,71.585,70.54,71.07, CSCO,2025-11-10,71.76,72.5,71.1539,72.1, CSCO,2025-11-11,71.68,72.25,71.095,71.75, CSCO,2025-11-12,71.905,74.21,71.72,73.99, CSCO,2025-11-13,77.95,79.5,76.65,77.38, CSCO,2025-11-14,76.58,78.665,75.8401,78.04, CSCO,2025-11-17,77.885,79.39,77.465,77.78, CSCO,2025-11-18,77.55,78.2,76.45,77.36, CSCO,2025-11-19,77.3,78.93,74.46,78.385, CSCO,2025-11-20,79.12,80.055,75.32,75.47, CSCO,2025-11-21,75.64,76.94,75.47,76.11, CSCO,2025-11-24,76.49,76.88,75.68,76.21, CSCO,2025-11-25,76.49,77.06,76.075,76.32, CSCO,2025-11-26,76.455,76.6,75.34,76.03, CSCO,2025-11-28,76.14,76.96,75.81,76.94, CSCO,2025-12-01,76.665,76.818,75.93,76.04, CSCO,2025-12-02,76.155,77.0,75.76,76.87, CSCO,2025-12-03,76.585,77.8165,75.65,77.75, CSCO,2025-12-04,77.69,77.86,77.1651,77.76, CSCO,2025-12-05,77.97,78.19,77.395,77.97, CSCO,2025-12-08,78.21,79.38,78.12,78.86, CSCO,2025-12-09,78.79,79.88,78.51,79.51, CSCO,2025-12-10,78.83,80.815,78.8,80.25, CSCO,2025-12-11,80.24,80.37,78.825,79.27, CSCO,2025-12-12,79.46,79.55,77.715,77.8, CSCO,2025-12-15,78.21,78.71,77.535,78.25, CSCO,2025-12-16,78.105,78.608,77.38,77.52, CSCO,2025-12-17,77.9,78.2,75.92,76.0, CSCO,2025-12-18,76.33,77.8084,76.26,76.94, CSCO,2025-12-19,76.97,79.17,76.785,78.4, CSCO,2025-12-22,79.015,79.145,77.955,78.11, CSCO,2025-12-23,77.605,78.12,77.59,78.02, CSCO,2025-12-24,78.02,78.285,77.845,78.02, CSCO,2025-12-26,78.095,78.275,77.93,78.16, CSCO,2025-12-29,78.03,78.2955,77.52,77.79, CSCO,2025-12-30,77.81,77.81,77.17,77.41, CSCO,2025-12-31,77.34,77.82,76.88,77.03, CSCO,2026-01-02,76.645,76.95,75.605,76.04, CSCO,2026-01-05,76.45,76.7748,75.205,75.59, CSCO,2026-01-06,75.525,75.725,74.8126,75.24, CSCO,2026-01-07,75.12,75.3799,74.195,74.72, CSCO,2026-01-08,74.31,74.46,73.55,73.96, CSCO,2026-01-09,73.45,74.3281,73.335,73.88, CSCO,2026-01-12,72.91,74.05,72.8,74.01, CSCO,2026-01-13,73.99,75.5,73.86,75.47, CSCO,2026-01-14,74.93,75.1099,73.82,74.41, CSCO,2026-01-15,75.22,76.05,74.91,75.25, CSCO,2026-01-16,75.64,75.99,74.6,75.19, CSCO,2026-01-20,74.52,74.87,73.21,73.42, CSCO,2026-01-21,73.945,74.36,73.005,73.705, CSCO,2026-01-22,74.105,74.78,73.88,74.32, CSCO,2026-01-23,73.95,75.07,73.71,74.59, CSCO,2026-01-26,76.47,77.415,75.64,77.01, CSCO,2026-01-27,77.25,78.91,77.05,78.68, CSCO,2026-01-28,78.93,79.04,78.015,78.965, CSCO,2026-01-29,79.105,79.476,77.625,78.438, CSCO,2026-01-30,78.09,78.795,77.72,78.32, CSCO,2026-02-02,78.12,81.155,77.995,80.64, CSCO,2026-02-03,80.81,83.25,80.81,83.12, CSCO,2026-02-04,83.98,84.24,81.14,81.16, CSCO,2026-02-05,80.86,83.305,80.81,82.36, CSCO,2026-02-06,83.555,85.0,82.805,84.783, CSCO,2026-02-09,84.73,87.245,84.31,86.75, CSCO,2026-02-10,86.97,88.185,86.13,86.265, CSCO,2026-02-11,86.06,87.14,85.125,85.44, CSCO,2026-02-12,79.61,80.37,74.085,75.0, CSCO,2026-02-13,74.375,77.29,73.42,76.9, CSCO,2026-02-17,76.95,77.565,76.475,76.86, CSCO,2026-02-18,76.55,78.6,76.49,78.18, CSCO,2026-02-19,77.87,79.155,77.87,78.56,
