Cisco Systems stock was trading at USD 115.83 on Nasdaq on October 6, 2026, up 2.67 percent during the session. The latest reported quarter delivered revenue of USD 17.25 billion, up 17.6 percent year over year, keeping earnings execution at the center of the investment case.
Revenue growth sets the tone
According to MarketBeat on October 4, 2026, Cisco reported fiscal fourth-quarter 2026 EPS of USD 1.22 against a USD 1.17 consensus estimate. Revenue reached USD 17.25 billion versus USD 16.84 billion expected, while the prior-year quarter produced EPS of USD 0.99.
The comparison matters because Cisco combined a 17.6 percent revenue increase with a USD 0.05 EPS beat. Product orders rose 35 percent year over year in fiscal fourth-quarter 2026, according to MarketBeat on October 2, 2026.
Analysts see further upside
MarketBeat reported on October 4, 2026, that 26 brokerages carried a Moderate Buy consensus. The group included 16 Buy ratings, three Strong Buy ratings and seven Hold ratings, with an average 12-month price target of USD 128.52.
That average target stands 11.0 percent above the USD 115.83 Nasdaq price. MarketBeat also reported on October 2, 2026, that Zacks Research upgraded Cisco from Hold to Strong Buy.
The counterweight is valuation and execution. The latest quote places Cisco at 33.59 times earnings in the MarketBeat report, while management's fiscal 2027 EPS guidance is USD 5.050-5.110, leaving the market focused on whether AI-related demand can broaden beyond networking orders.
