Wall Street analysts rerated Cisco Systems, Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) for its upbeat quarterly report Wednesday amid an exciting earnings season.
Cisco Systems reported <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43675860/cisco-systems-shares-climb-on-better-than-expected-q2-results-strong-forward-guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">quarterly earnings of</a> 94 cents per share, topping the analyst consensus estimate of 91 cents. Quarterly revenue of $13.9 billion beat the $13.87 billion consensus estimate.

Cisco Systems expects third-quarter EPS of 90 cents-92 cents, versus the 92 cent estimate, and revenue of $13.9 billion-$14.1 billion, versus the $13.86 billion estimate.
<ul>
<li>JP Morgan analyst Samik Chatterjee maintained Cisco Systems with an Overweight and raised the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CSCO/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">price target from $69 to $73</a>.</li>
<li>Piper Sandler analyst James Fish reiterated Cisco Systems with a Neutral and raised the price target from $57 to $72.</li>
<li>Rosenblatt analyst Mike Genovese upgraded Cisco Systems to Buy from Neutral with an $80 price target.</li>
<li>BofA Securities analyst Tal Liani maintained Cisco Systems with a Buy and raised the price target to $76 from $72.</li>
<li>Goldman Sachs analyst Michael Ng reiterated Cisco Systems with a Neutral and raised the price target from $56 to $63.</li>
</ul>
JP Morgan: Cisco&#8217;s second-quarter results reinforced the improvement in the demand cycle, revenue upsides for Core Networking driving greater confidence in upsides for fiscal 2025, alleviating concerns around increased scrutiny on Public Sector and Fed spending, highlighting moderate cost headwinds for tariffs, while also noting mitigation levers in the form of both pricing and supply chain flexibility, and downplaying concerns of temporary dislocations in demand trends from the pull-forward of orders to avoid tariffs.
While the macro backdrop remains mixed, Cisco noted priority from Enterprise customers to spend towards modernizing infrastructure and strong Cloud demand, including triple-digit order growth from Hyperscalers and improving demand trends from Telco customers to get their networks ready for AI-led traffic demand.
Regarding Enterprise adoption of AI, Cisco highlighted a significant uptick in interest for integrated systems, which Chatterjee expects to build to be a key driver of improvement in demand for the portfolio with the broader proliferation of AI investments to the Enterprises alongside continued momentum from Hyperscalers.
Additionally, the analyst expects Core Networking to benefit from Enterprise AI adoption and a pull-through of other parts of the portfolio, including Security, as securing data remains a top priority for Enterprises while pursuing AI deployments, where Cisco&#8217;s broader portfolio stands well positioned to benefit.
Piper Sandler: Cisco faced a good setup as Fish previewed, which, given the upside, guide-up, and narrative around data center refresh, AI-traction with hyperscalers, Splunk integration, new product launches, and Campus refresh potentially down the road, has sent shares &gt;5% higher after hours.
The debate from here will center around how much the lead-metric upside had been more straightforward compared to incremental demand versus Splunk contribution.
Estimates are still set up well following the guide raise, and Fish noted that Cisco could sustain mid-single-digit sales growth as the cycles contribute and the business transition is nearing an inflection point. Fish sought a better entry point and preferred other names.
Rosenblatt: Genovese had been arguing that Extreme Networks Inc
(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EXTR#NASDAQ">EXTR</a>) and Juniper Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNPR#NYSE">JNPR</a>) deserve multiple expansions due to growth in software subscriptions, ARR, RPOs, and AI becoming a more significant driver of total business.
The analyst upgraded Cisco and raised the price target for the same reasons. For the second quarter, Cisco increased revenues by 9% to $14.0 billion and produced EPS of $0.94, exceeding consensus on each.
Total product orders grew 29% and 11%, excluding Splunk, with substantial improvement in Service Provider and Cloud orders. There was double-digit growth in ARR, RPOs, and subscriptions, which accounted for 56% of total revenue.
AI infrastructure orders with Web Scalers were more than $350 million in the quarter, bringing the year-to-date total to ~$700 million and putting Cisco on track to exceed $1 billion of AI infrastructure orders in fiscal 2025.
Other positives were triple-digit growth in Web-Scale orders and greater than 20% in Telco orders. Security revenues and orders more than doubled year-over-year. Cisco said it is starting to see AI orders from Enterprise customers.
BofA Securities: The second-quarter results and third-quarter guidance are above expectations. Excluding Splunk, orders were up 11%, Service Provider and Cloud orders up 63%, and double-digit Data Center and Campus order growth.
Demand is picking up on the back of high network utilization at the macro level following a few years of inventory absorption. AI infrastructure buildouts drive demand across Cloud, Service Provider, and Enterprise verticals.
Cisco was well prepared to address the improving demand, offering a solid portfolio of Optical, Routing, Silicon, and other solutions that cater to these needs. Liani expects continued growth in the second half and 2026.
The rerating reflects Liani&#8217;s belief that Networking should see renewed growth on normalization of Campus switching demand and Ethernet-based AI buildouts, new product announcements should support growth re-acceleration of its Security business, and noted Splunk synergies supporting growth initiatives in Security and Observability.
Additionally, Cisco&#8217;s shift to recurring and subscription revenue is positive and helps support the stock, with 50% of revenue now recurring.
Goldman Sachs: The strength in data center switching and improving Campus switching demand drove the upbeat quarter. Service Provider &amp; Cloud orders strength was driven by AI infrastructure readiness projects, with 20%+ growth in telco and triple-digit growth in webscale, including &gt;$350 million of back-end AI orders, which puts Cisco on track to exceed its $1 billion AI fiscal 2025 order target.
Public Sector orders were up on strength in international public sector demand. U.S. federal represents &lt;10% of total revenue, of which ~75% is the Department of Defense, which Cisco noted is less impacted by government efficiency efforts than civilian agencies.
Ng is encouraged by Cisco&#8217;s order momentum year-to-date, which increases visibility into fiscal 2026 and 2027 targets for 4%-6% annual revenue growth and its conservative outlook for gross margins, which reflect the full potential impacts for tariffs on China, Mexico, and China.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Price Action: CSCO stock is up 2.81% at $64.29 at last check Thursday.

Earnings Scheduled For February 4, 2025

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">New On The Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>Sage Therapeutics, Inc. NASDAQ: SAGE) is officially exploring "strategic alternatives" to make shareholders happy. The process includes anything from a possible business combination to a full-on sale. Who&#8217;s interested? That would be Biogen Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BIIB#NASDAQ">BIIB</a>), which submitted an unsolicited offer Sage rejected. Cambridge, Massachusetts-based Sage is known for its ZURZUVAE treatment for women with PPD. Goldman Sachs is providing financial advice and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &amp; Flom LLP oversees legal matters. </li>
<li>Silvus Technologies, a Los Angeles-based mobile telecom owned by TJC, hired Morgan Stanley to explore a sale or initial public offering. TJC could seek a valuation of as much as $5 billion for Silvus, Bloomberg <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-30/tjc-is-said-to-weigh-sale-ipo-of-radio-tech-provider-silvus">reported</a> citing sources. TJC, aka The Jordan Company purchased Silvus in December 2019. </li>
<li>Allakos Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ALLK#NASDAQ">ALLK</a>) is shutting down its AK006 program, leading to a major downsizing — about 75% of the company will be laid off. The biotech plans to keep around 15 employees to explore strategic alternatives, which CEO Robert Alexander described as "the usual things," according <a href="https://www.fiercebiotech.com/biotech/allakos-axes-program-lays-75-staff-and-seeks-strategic-alternatives-after-phase-1-flop">to</a> Fierce Biotech. The move will significantly deplete Allakos' cash reserves, which stood at $81 million at the end of last year. The company expects to spend $34 million to $38 million on severance and restructuring costs, leaving it with just $35 million to $40 million in reserves by mid-year. The pressure is on to find a new strategic direction quickly.</li>
</ul>
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Updates From The Block</h2>
<ul>
<li>YouTube star Jimmy Donaldson (aka MrBeast) has secured more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43325891/backed-by-youtube-king-mrbeast-group-of-american-investors-including-roblox-ceo-lock-in-over-20-billion-for-tiktok-takeover-but-they-have-not-heard-back-directly-from-bytedance">$20 billion</a> for a TikTok offer. An investor group, led by tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley, includes Roblox Corp. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/RBLX#NYSE">RBLX</a>) CEO David Baszucki and Anchorage Digital CEO Nathan McCauley as investors. Tinsley <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-01-29/tiktok-bidders-to-offer-significantly-more-than-20-billion?sref=KkPzpZvz">told</a> Bloomberg that their offer is &#8220;significantly higher&#8221; than a competing $20 billion bid. Whether Tinsley was referring to the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/25/01/42834240/kevin-oleary-joins-the-peoples-bid-for-tiktok-as-pending-ban-looms">Project Liberty bid</a> by former Los Angeles Dodgers owner Frank McCourt and &#8220;Shark Tank&#8221; star Kevin O'Leary is unclear. Also uncertain is whether Microsoft was seriously making a bid, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/01/43260646/microsoft-eyes-tiktok-us-deal-as-trump-confirms-acquisition-talks-are-underway">as indicated by President Trump</a>.</li>

Proposed Acquisition Drives Innovation for Customer Solutions, Enhances an Already Competitive Market, and Fortifies U.S. National Security and the American "Core Tech" Sector
Companies Plan to Vigorously Defend the Transaction in Court

(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/JNPR#NYSE">JNPR</a>) today responded to the filing of a complaint by the U.S. Department of Justice seeking to prohibit closing of HPE's proposed acquisition of Juniper:
"We believe the Department of Justice's analysis of this acquisition is fundamentally flawed and we are disappointed in its decision to file a suit attempting to prohibit the closing of the transaction. We will vigorously defend against the Department of Justice's overreaching interpretation of antitrust laws and will demonstrate how this transaction will provide customers with greater innovation and choice, positively change the dynamics in the networking market by enhancing competition, and strengthen the backbone of U.S. networking infrastructure. Consistent with the conclusions reached by all other major antitrust regulators who have reviewed the deal, this transaction brings together two complementary networking offerings and will create a networking player with the scope and scale to more effectively compete with global incumbents. This proposed acquisition will provide customers of all sizes with a modern, secure network built with AI and for AI to ensure a better user and operator experience, and will create more competition, not less."
The facts in support of this transaction are clear:
There is extensive evidence that shows this acquisition is pro-competitive and the product area that is the focus of the DOJ's suit – Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) – is characterized by robust competition, with at least eight alternatives to HPE and Juniper.
<ul>
<li>The DOJ's claim that the WLAN market is composed of three primary players is substantially disconnected from market realities. As customers shift to AI and cloud-driven business strategies for secure, unified technology solutions to protect their data, barriers to entry have decreased and expansion and competition for WLAN has intensified. As such, WLAN is an extremely competitive market with a broad set of players, all of whom are fighting for business and winning bids in competitive RFP processes. The transaction will not impede the ability of other WLAN vendors to vigorously compete.</li>
<li>These allegations ignore well capitalized competitors in the U.S. – several of which hold market shares comparable to Juniper and one of which holds more than 50% market share. These competitors generate business across all customer sizes and industry verticals, including large enterprise customers, who often solicit bids from five competitors for each opportunity.</li>
<li>The transaction has been approved by antitrust regulators in 14 jurisdictions, including the European Commission and the U.K. CMA, each of which unconditionally cleared the transaction and acknowledged the pro-competitive benefits of this transaction. Other than Israel, the U.S. is the only jurisdiction to not have cleared this deal.</li>
<li>Customers support this transaction, and the Department of Justice has not provided any evidence of customer complaints.</li>
</ul>
The combination creates unparalleled opportunity to better serve both HPE and Juniper customers and acts as an innovation catalyst for the industry.
<ul>
<li>This transaction will benefit customers who gain a comprehensive AI-driven and cloud-native IT portfolio including the networking architecture necessary to manage and simplify their expanding and increasingly complex connectivity needs.</li>
<li>Following the completion of the transaction, the combined company expects to accelerate innovation across the entire networking stack by investing in various R&amp;D initiatives. This innovation will create more compelling solutions for customers and partners.</li>
</ul>
HPE and Juniper's complementary combination will create a compelling, U.S.-based alternative globally to incumbents, fortifying the American "core tech" sector that serves as the backbone of U.S. networking infrastructure.
<ul>
<li>"Core tech" companies build and maintain the critical infrastructure that enables our entire modern economy and includes essential technologies like large-scale compute, semiconductors, and networking. These are essential to safeguarding national security.</li>
<li>The networking space has become a critical arena of vulnerability, particularly as the industry looks toward 6G development and quantum-secure communications.</li>
<li>The transaction will create a robust U.S.-based provider of core technology infrastructure that can help to protect against national security risks in the global technology market.</li>
</ul>
HPE and Juniper remain fully committed to the transaction and believe we will prevail in litigation and close the transaction so we can deliver the benefits of this acquisition to our customers.
