CSCO Cisco's Q2 FY25 revenue increased by 9% to $14 billion, surpassing expectations by $120 million and marking its first year-over-year growth in more than a year. Adjusted EPS came in at $0.94, exceeding estimates by $0.03. The acquisition of Splunk 11 months ago contributed to strong growth in security and subscription revenue. Demand for AI infrastructure drove a 29% rise in orders (or 11% excluding Splunk), with AI-related orders expected to exceed $1 billion in FY25.
Looking ahead, Cisco raised its FY25 revenue guidance midpoint by $0.5 billion to $56.3 billion and approved a $15 billion increase in share buybacks. While federal spending remains weak, enterprise and cloud investments are gaining momentum. With AI networking growth and a continued shift toward recurring revenue, Cisco is positioning itself for long-term expansion.
CSCO Looks like a pole down from 2022 and a Bear Flag forming Since Sept of last year. Gaps above and below. I'm thinking we go down before we see an up move.
