Cisco Systems, Inc. Poised for a Blowout 2015

As the world of technology moves to the cloud, Big Data and the Internet of Things (IoT) related solutions, some of the biggest names in the hardware have taken it on the chin in 2014, IBM (NYSE: IBM ) dismal performance share price shows the difficulties of age online-Tech giants face. That is, Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) has been successful in the trend, and the share price reflects the year to date, outstanding performance.

There are pessimists who say that Cisco is facing major challenges in the coming months and years, and they are right. But the question that investors should ask whether Cisco is positioned to continue to call on the rise in key markets such as cloud and the things the Internet, or at Cisco, the Internet all (OIE). If financial results for the fourth quarter and Cisco has introduced steps are signs and are the answer is a resounding yes.

On A Roll

If Cisco announced its Q4 results and fiscal year-end earnings last August, investors were very impressed. The sales stagnated over the same period last year, as net income and operating income, and the price of the shares of Cisco had a mild stroke. For the benefit of investors, many saw on the top line of Cisco and found improved gross margins and the positive impact of their repurchases appropriate measures to reduce the number of shares in circulation, which improves earnings per share.

Just as important as the results of the financial year end Cisco CEO John Chambers was the confirmation that the transition to new technologies and the future growth continues to be driven. As Chambers put it, we focus on growth, innovation and talent, especially in the areas of security, data centres, software and Internet cloud around.

The Cisco transition efforts last quarter of Fiscal 2015 Q1 shame really paid off, record sales and 48.2 billion years before increasing liquid assets of 52.1 billion US dollars, compared with $ after the nearly $ 2 million dollars in dividends and repurchase of 41,000,000 shares. No work of a bad quarter, and worthy of the current performance of the shares of Cisco.

As strong as Cisco's recent quarter was, what really bodes will for calendar year 2015 and beyond is its focus on IoE, particularly "smart" cities. Following up last quarter's news that Cisco had partnered with the city of Hamburg to develop smart traffic, infrastructure, and street lights via the cloud, it announced a similar deal with Berlin. So, you ask? Over the next 10 years, smart cities are expected to become a $1.5 trillion industry, and Cisco's leading the way.

What To Do For An Encore?

According to a Gartner report, in relative terms blew Cisco, IBM and other server sales manager in Q3 recently concluded. Cisco server revenue rose almost 31% over the previous year, reaching $ 783.7 million from $ 599.3 million in 2013. Granted, Hewlett-Packard and IBM remains the undisputed leader, but both lost share Cisco's market.

Why is Cisco hardware business better? One of the most important means of benefiting from the OIE collect insurance summarize and use of data, unprecedented amounts of data through the cloud. Chambers is why laser Cisco to provide network solutions and related services that address these integral part of the OIE.

For investors may be disturbing Stock Cisco term, but should not be. Although Cisco waves actions against its 52 weeks still trading at just over 12 times earnings next year. That, combined with the leader of the OIE Cisco network is go to a better 2015.
