Cisco Systems (ISIN US17275R1023) was trading at EUR 104.81 at Lang & Schwarz on October 7, 2026 at 3:10 p.m. CEST, up 0.12 percent versus the prior close of EUR 104.68. On October 6, Cisco Systems and Bell Canada signed a memorandum to develop sovereign AI infrastructure, as Yahoo Finance reported.
Bell deal adds a second AI route
The agreement combines Bell Canada's data centers, networking, power and cooling capabilities with Cisco's AI infrastructure, security, observability and management technologies, according to Yahoo Finance. The target customers include Canadian government agencies, regulated industries and companies handling sensitive information.
The financial scale behind the initiative is already visible. Cisco recorded USD 9.3 billion in hyperscaler AI infrastructure orders during fiscal 2026 and expects USD 7.5 billion in related revenue in fiscal 2027, the same report said.
Fiscal 2026 closes with growth
Cisco reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of USD 17.25 billion, up 17.6 percent year over year, while adjusted earnings per share reached USD 1.22 against a USD 1.17 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026.
For fiscal 2026, revenue reached USD 63.3 billion, up 12 percent, while Cisco guided fiscal 2027 revenue to USD 72.2 billion-USD 73.4 billion and adjusted earnings per share to USD 5.05-USD 5.11, according to Yahoo Finance.
Analysts balance growth and valuation
Piper Sandler cut its Cisco price target from USD 132 to USD 125 on September 22, 2026, while keeping a Neutral rating, as CNBC reported. The analysts cited lower price-to-earnings multiple expectations and concern that industry growth could peak.
That caution contrasts with MarketBeat's October 6 consensus snapshot, which showed a Moderate Buy rating and an average target of USD 128.52. The spread between the USD 125 Piper target and the broader consensus illustrates the central debate: AI demand is accelerating, but investors are testing how much of that growth is already reflected in Cisco's valuation.
Nasdaq range frames the quote
On the Nasdaq, Cisco's latest structured quote was USD 117.94 at 4:00 p.m. ET on October 6, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 464.9 billion and a 52-week range of USD 66.81 to USD 130.37. The Lang & Schwarz euro quote therefore sits in a separate currency frame from the US listing and remains the reference for German investors.
