Frequently asked questions
What is Cisco Systems Inc's revenue?
Cisco Systems Inc's trailing twelve-month revenue is $60.75B, and consensus projects about $124.20B by 2030. Revenue is the top line the whole model builds on, and at this scale the question shifts from how fast it grows to whether margins hold as it compounds.
How profitable is CSCO?
In its most recent fiscal year, CSCO ran a gross margin of 64.94%, an operating margin of 20.76%, and a net margin of 17.97%. Margins this high mean most of each extra dollar of revenue drops through to profit, which is the signature of real pricing power.
How much free cash flow does CSCO generate?
CSCO produced $13.29B in free cash flow in its most recent fiscal year. Free cash flow is what is left after running and reinvesting in the business, and it is the cash that actually funds buybacks, dividends, and a stronger balance sheet.
Is CSCO's balance sheet healthy?
CSCO holds $8.35B in cash and equivalents against $22.86B in long-term debt, on $46.84B of shareholder equity. That debt is best read against the cash flow the business throws off each year.
