Cisco Ups Fiscal 2025 Guidance Again
Image Source: Cisco. Looking to fiscal third quarter guidance, Cisco's revenue is expected to be between $13.9-$14.1 billion, and non-GAAP earnings per share to be between $0.90-$0.92. For all of fiscal 2025, management expects revenue in the range of $56-$56.5 billion (was $55.3-$56.3 billion) and non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $3.68-$3.74 (was $3.60-$3.66 per share). We continue to like Cisco as a holding in both the Best Ideas Newsletter portfolio and Dividend Growth Newsletter portfolio. The high end of our fair value estimate range stands at $73 per share.

Cisco Raises Fiscal 2025 Guidance
Image: Cisco’s shares have been choppy the past couple years. Looking to fiscal 2025, Cisco Systems expects revenue in the range of $55.3-$56.3 billion, up from a prior view of $55-$56.2 billion, and non-GAAP earnings per share in the range of $3.60-$3.66, up from $3.52-$3.58 previously. We like Cisco’s progression to a subscription base business model, its opportunities in artificial intelligence, while its forward price-to-earnings ratio remains attractive at roughly 16x current fiscal year earnings. The high end of our fair value estimate range is $67 per share.

Brain Teaser - Reflexive versus Reflective
Image: Amy Leonard. Valuation multiples tend to trigger the reflexive side of our brain, and we process the multiples through anchoring. On the other hand, enterprise valuation, or the process required to answer the questions (in this article) correctly, shows that our reflexive process can be quite incorrect at times. In fact, cognitive biases such as anchoring can completely trip us up into missing out on truly undervalued companies that may have high P/E ratios while baiting us into value traps with low P/E ratios.

Cisco’s Fiscal Fourth Quarter Results Exceed Expectations
Image Source: Cisco. Cisco ended its fiscal year with $31 billion in short- and long-term debt and $17.9 billion in cash and investments. Free cash flow of $10.2 billion during fiscal 2024 easily covered its cash dividends paid of $6.4 billion. We continue to like Cisco as an idea in the newsletter portfolios. Though it has a net debt position and revenue has been under pressure, it trades at a below-market multiple, pays a nice dividend, and is working aggressively to transform its business model into one that is more recurring in nature. Shares yield 3.5% at the time of this writing.

Paper: Value and Momentum Within Stocks, Too
Abstract: This paper strives to advance the field of finance in four ways: 1) it extends the theory of the “The Arithmetic of Active Management” to the investor level; 2) it addresses certain data problems of factor-based methods, namely with respect to value and book-to-market ratios, while introducing price-to-fair-value ratios in a factor-based approach; 3) it may lay the foundation for academic literature regarding the Valuentum, the value-timing, and ultra-momentum factors; and 4) it walks through the potential relative outperformance that may be harvested at the intersection of relevant, unique and compensated factors within individual stocks.
