Cisco Announcement
Due to strong demand for Cisco systems network equipment the company will be bullish going into the second quarter of 2010. JP Morgan re-assumed coverage of Cisco giving it an overweight rating on the stock and labeled a price target of $28. Commentators think that Cisco is planning major updates to its core router systems, the way Internet video is relayed and a reworking of Telepresence, all to make wireless internet much more efficient.
Cisco stock has hit a year long high with 237,000 pick ups and only 79,000 puts. People believe that Cisco Systems can achieve more than $27.50 before 1st Quarter 2011 with yesterday’s stock price up 3.7%.
What is sure is that after a dogged 2009, Cisco shares are on the up and investors will have to make a decision on the value of this cryptic Cisco announcement, whether to buy Cisco stock or sit tight and wait for more concrete revenue data.
