Last week Cisco announced its quarterly results. I won’t rehash the numbers as Diana Goovaerts covered it in this post. Cisco did report a solid beat on the top and bottom lines, which I believe was its 10th consecutive quarter of beating on both metrics. The company did guide up on revenue for its Q4, but EPS was light based on margins being squeezed on near term supply chain issues from the on-going chip shortage. Without this last hiccup, this would have been one of the cleanest quarters for Cisco in quite some time.
