시스코 시스템즈 (CSCO)

Shares of Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) dropped by 9.83% from $53.28 to $48.04 in the trading on Thursday, Novemeber 16, 2023. The reason why CSCO is down today is due to the less-than-encouraging outlook provided by the company for both the current quarter and the full fiscal year. This outlook cast a shadow on investor sentiment.

• First Quarter Results: Cisco's first-quarter results were solid, with quarterly revenue showing an 8% year-over-year increase, reaching $14.67 billion. This growth was accompanied by a substantial 29% rise in adjusted non-GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) earnings, amounting to $4.5 billion, or $1.11 per share. These figures exceeded analysts' expectations, who were, on average, anticipating earnings of $1.03 per share on slightly lower revenue of $14.63 billion.
• Outlook Revision: Despite the positive first-quarter performance, Cisco lowered its earnings and sales projections for fiscal year 2024, causing concern among investors. This revision in guidance had a significant impact on the stock's performance.
