Cisco Systems stock (ISIN US17275R1023) was last at USD 116.98 on Nasdaq on October 7, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. ET, down 0.81 percent from the USD 117.94 prior close. The current quotation puts Cisco Systems at a market capitalization of USD 461.1 billion and leaves the stock below its USD 130.37 52-week high.

Revenue beat remains the anchor

The latest reported quarter remains the main fundamental reference. According to MarketBeat on October 4, 2026, Cisco generated USD 17.25 billion in Q4 FY2026 revenue, up 17.6 percent year over year. Adjusted EPS reached USD 1.22, exceeding the USD 1.17 consensus by USD 0.05.

The comparison is material because the quarter also extended Cisco's AI infrastructure narrative. Yahoo Finance reported on October 6, 2026, that Cisco received USD 9.3 billion in hyperscaler AI infrastructure orders during fiscal 2026 and expects USD 7.5 billion of related revenue in fiscal 2027.

Analysts see further upside

The analyst picture is constructive but not uniform. MarketBeat said 26 brokerages carried a Moderate Buy consensus, including 16 Buy, three Strong Buy and seven Hold ratings. The average 12-month price target was USD 128.52, which lies 9.9 percent above the USD 116.98 price.

The spread also shows the execution issue behind the valuation. MarketBeat cited a USD 110.00 target from Bernstein and a USD 135.00 target from Deutsche Bank, while Piper Sandler cut its target from USD 132.00 to USD 125.00 on September 22, 2026.

Stock stays below yearly high

Cisco's USD 116.98 quotation stood within the October 7 session range of USD 116.58 to USD 117.94, with volume at 3,530,367 shares at 11:00 a.m. ET. The 52-week range runs from USD 66.81 to USD 130.37, keeping the current price 10.3 percent below the high.

The next shareholder cash date is October 21, 2026, when Cisco is scheduled to pay USD 0.42 per share, according to MarketBeat.
