Cisco Systems' AI Momentum, Hyperscaler Spending Strength to Drive Growth Into 2027, UBS Says

By

Cisco Systems (CSCO) is positioned for continued growth into fiscal 2027 as rising hyperscaler artificial intelligence spending, stronger campus demand and improving traction in security support expanding revenue and earnings, UBS said in a note emailed Thursday.

The brokerage said Cisco's AI systems and optical products should continue benefiting from broad-based increases in data center and AI infrastructure spending.

The company's operational strength has helped it navigate ongoing supply-chain and component cost pressures better than peers, the brokerage said.

UBS raised its price target on Cisco to $132 from $95 and reiterated its buy rating.

Price: $114.99, Change: $+13.12, Percent Change: +12.88%
