Cisco shares recorded a pleasing increase of 1.8 percent in NASDAQ trading on Friday evening, reaching a price of USD 70.32. This development shows that shareholders have confidence in the company despite the current market situation. The trading day began at a price of $69.14, indicating positive momentum.
Last year, Cisco shares peaked at $72.55, recorded on August 12, 2025. Reaching that 52-week high would require another 3.18 percent increase. The low for the last 52 weeks was $52.11, which was recorded on April 8, 2025. The current price is therefore 25.89 percent above this low point.
For 2025, Cisco shareholders received a dividend of $1.62. A slight increase to USD 1.66 is expected this year. Analysts estimate the stock’s median price target at $70.00, which is close to the current price. These assessments reflect market participants’ confidence in Cisco’s stability and growth potential.
On August 13, 2025, Cisco reported results for the quarter ended July 31, 2025. Earnings per share increased to $0.71, compared to $0.54 in the year-ago period. Sales grew by 7.56 percent to $14.67 billion, underlining the positive business development. The next financial results for the first quarter of 2026 are expected on November 12, 2025.
Experts forecast earnings per share of $4.04 for 2026. Despite the positive figures, investors are missing clear impulses from the area of artificial intelligence, which is seen as a future growth driver. Deutsche Bank recently upgraded Cisco shares to ‘Buy’, underscoring confidence in the company’s long-term development.
