AI hype actually helps Cisco because data traffic still needs to move reliably and securely. Investors anchor to “legacy tech” and miss how sticky the installed base really is. Cash flow is massive and underlevered, enabling buybacks without stress. This is not a growth story, it's a toll booth on enterprise connectivity. Boring dominance still compounds.” | BULL | Q4 2025 Dec 31, 2025 | View Pitch |
