Will Cisco Continue to Surge?
Yes, it will. Usually, when the revenue and earnings enjoy the increase, the market share also increases. This is the case with Cisco. Their earnings and revenue are all-time-best, which implicates a huge potential for further growth. Erin Gibbs from S&P Global said that the company is simply growing too fast. The profits are expected to jump to an amazing 18 percent during 2019, marking a crucial period in the company’s history. Furthermore, analysts expect a steady, healthy cash flow, thanks to the 6 percent dividend yield.
Fundamentally, Cisco is a really strong company. With their newest addition of super-fast 5G wireless around the world, Cisco is definitely going to do some damage at the market. Just remember that 5G is about 20 to 50 times faster than standard 4G networks!
