Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) will release its third-quarter financial results after the closing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/CSCO/earnings">bell on Wednesday, May 14.</a>
Analysts expect the San Jose, California-based company to report quarterly earnings at 92 cents per share, up from 88 cents per share in the year-ago period. Cisco projects quarterly revenue of $14.06 billion, compared to $12.7 billion a year earlier, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard">Benzinga Pro</a>.
On April 28, Evercore ISI Group analyst Amit Daryanani maintained Cisco with an Outperform rating and lowered the price target from $75 to $67.
The recent buzz around Cisco may have investors eyeing potential gains from the company's dividends. Currently, Cisco offers an annual dividend yield of 2.66%. That&#8217;s a quarterly dividend of 41 cents per share ($1.64 a year).
To figure out how to earn $500 monthly from Cisco, we start with the yearly target of $6,000 ($500 x 12 months).
Next, we take this amount and divide it by Cisco's $1.64 dividend: $6,000 / $1.64 = 3,659 shares.
So, an investor would need to own approximately $225,651 worth of Cisco, or 3,659 shares to generate a monthly dividend income of $500.
Assuming a more conservative goal of $100 monthly ($1,200 annually), we do the same calculation: $1,200 / $1.64 = 732 shares, or $45,142 to generate a monthly dividend income of $100.
Investors should note that dividend yields can change on a rolling basis. The dividend payment and the stock price both fluctuate over time.
The dividend yield is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the current stock price. As the stock price changes, the dividend yield will also change.
For example, if a stock pays an annual dividend of $2 and its current price is $50, its dividend yield would be 4%. However, if the stock price increases to $60, the dividend yield would decrease to 3.33% ($2/$60).
Conversely, if the stock price decreases to $40, the dividend yield would increase to 5% ($2/$40).
Further, the dividend payment itself can also change over time, which can also impact the dividend yield. If a company increases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will increase even if the stock price remains the same. Similarly, if a company decreases its dividend payment, the dividend yield will decrease.
CSCO Price Action: Shares of Cisco gained by 3.2% to close at $61.67 on Monday.

Microsoft Corp. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) announced on Tuesday it will eliminate approximately 6,000 positions globally, representing 3% of its workforce, as the tech giant seeks to streamline operations and reduce middle management layers.
What Happened: &#8220;We continue to implement organisational changes necessary to best position the company for success in a dynamic marketplace,&#8221; Microsoft said in a statement, <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/f453e330-1e56-4b45-9889-382098025415">reported</a> the Financial Times.
The Redmond, Washington-based company joins other tech giants, including Meta Platforms Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>), in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45250949/tech-layoffs-get-the-headlines-but-its-uncle-sam-doge-whos-bleeding-workers-in-2025">workforce reductions while simultaneously increasing investments</a> in artificial intelligence technologies.
This latest round follows performance-related cuts affecting about 2,000 Microsoft employees earlier this year. The company previously eliminated approximately 2,500 positions from its Xbox division after acquiring Activision Blizzard, along with 1,000 roles across its HoloLens and Azure cloud computing units in the same period.

Why It Matters: Microsoft&#8217;s CFO Amy Hood recently told investors the company was focused on &#8220;building high-performing teams and increasing our agility by reducing layers with fewer managers.&#8221; CEO Satya Nadella had earlier indicated that between 20-30% of the company&#8217;s code was <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/45093643/ai-is-reshaping-coding-at-microsoft-says-nadella-30-of-code-now-ai-generated">now being written using AI tools</a>.
The layoffs come despite Microsoft&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/MSFT/earnings">strong financial performance</a>. The company reported better-than-expected earnings for the quarter ending March and has outperformed its peers since the beginning of 2025, recently reclaiming its position as the world&#8217;s most valuable company.
The cuts affect international offices and wholly-owned subsidiaries like LinkedIn, reflecting a broader trend of workforce rebalancing across the technology sector.
Price Action: Microsoft Corp.&#8217;s stock closed at $449.14 on Tuesday, down 0.03% for the day. In after-hours trading, the stock dipped further to $448.27, a decline of 0.19%. Year to date, Microsoft&#8217;s stock has gained 7.30%. 
Microsoft is experiencing modest growth but continues to benefit from strong momentum. However, the stock scores lower on quality and valuation metrics, according to Benzinga Edge Stock Rankings. MSFT maintains a positive trend across both short- and long-term indicators. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Sign up to learn more.</a>

Publicly-listed holding company GD Culture Group Ltd. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GDC#NASDAQ">GDC</a>) announced its intentions to raise up to $300 million to build a cryptocurrency reserve made up of Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) and Official Trump (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/">TRUMP</a>) on Monday.
What Happened: The Nasdaq-listed firm plans to use the&nbsp;proceeds from a stock sale&nbsp;to an &#8220;accredited&#8221;&nbsp;entity in the British Virgin&nbsp;Islands to finance this investment, according to a press release.
GDC said it wanted to improve its balance sheet with &#8220;high-performance, scalable digital assets,&#8221; as part of a broader pivot toward decentralized finance.
The company conducts business mainly through its wholly owned U.S. subsidiary AI Catalysis Corp. and China-based Shanghai Xianzhui Technology Co, Ltd.
GDC, which runs an e-commerce business on the Chinese-owned video-sharing app TikTok, reported no revenue last year and has a small team of just eight employees, <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/13/us/politics/trump-crypto-purchase.html">reported </a>The New York Times, citing public filings.

Why It Matters: This move by GDC comes days after&nbsp;Freight Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FRGT#NASDAQ">FRGT</a>)&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45159094/trumps-official-memecoin-adopted-as-reserve-asset-by-freight-technologies-to-advocate-for-fair-balanced-us-mexico-trade">became the first public company to adopt</a> President Donald Trump&#8217;s meme coin as a treasury reserve asset. 
The cross-border logistics company said the decision was an &#8220;effective&#8221; way to advocate for fair and free trade between Mexico and the U.S.
The meme coin has sparked political outrage, with Democratic lawmakers <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cryptocurrency/25/04/45027557/trumps-memecoin-dinner-event-sparks-impeachment-call-from-democratic-senator-says-potus-is-selling-access-to-those-who-enrich-him">accusing Trump of corruption</a> for selling access to himself in exchange for payments made with his meme coin. Trump has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/25/05/45187462/trump-denies-personal-profit-from-memecoin-venture-i-havent-even-look">refuted claims</a> that he is financially benefiting from the coin.
Price Action: At the time of writing, TRUMP was exchanging hands at $13.56, up 7.53% in the last 24 hours, according to&nbsp;<a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/dashboard?_gl=1&#x2A;380nj0&#x2A;_ga&#x2A;MTEyOTAyOTcxMy4xNzEzMzY0NTYy&#x2A;_ga_V7ZK73W7N0&#x2A;MTcxNDk4MzIzMi42LjEuMTcxNDk4OTE0Ni4wLjAuMA.." target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">data from Benzinga Pro</a>.
Shares of GDC were up 3.27% in after-hours trading after closing 2.73% lower at $2.140 during Tuesday's regular session. The stock was up 13.23% year-to-date.
GDC scored high on the momentum metric as of this writing.
