In other recent news, Cisco has reported strong fiscal first-quarter results, leading several analysts to raise their price targets for the company. UBS increased its price target to $90, citing a 13% year-over-year growth in product orders and a significant rise in artificial intelligence orders. Piper Sandler also raised its target to $86, highlighting consecutive strong quarters due to AI infrastructure development and a campus refresh opportunity. Rosenblatt Securities set a new target of $100, attributing the increase to strong demand from hyperscale customers and service providers investing in AI infrastructure. Melius Research echoed this sentiment, raising its target to $100 as well, and noted the strength in Cisco’s networking segment, which is compensating for a decline in its security segment. The company recorded $1.3 billion in AI orders, marking a 60% increase quarter-over-quarter.
