Reading
The figures above are taken directly from filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The reading below was generated by a local language model from only those figures; it introduces no numbers of its own. It is not investment advice.
Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) operates on a substantial scale, with total assets amounting to $125.55 billion as of the most recent quarter and $122.29 billion at year-end 2025. The company’s mix is predominantly focused on networking hardware, software, and services, as evidenced by its revenue streams. Over the past 17 years, Cisco’s revenue has grown at a modest 2.1% annual pace, reaching $56.65 billion in 2025 from $39.54 billion in 2008. Despite this growth, the company’s net margin has compressed from 20.4% to 18.0% during the same period.
The multi-year trajectory reveals a business that has maintained steady revenue growth but faced margin pressure. Notably, Cisco’s quarterly revenue reached its peak at $15.84 billion in Q4 2026, while the lowest was $8.16 billion in Q1 2009. In terms of financial performance, operating income and net income have shown fluctuations, with the former peaking at $11.76 billion in 2025 and the latter at $12.61 billion in 2023.
In upcoming filings, investors should monitor Cisco’s ability to sustain revenue growth amidst margin compression. Additionally, the company’s cash and equivalents have slightly decreased from $8.35 billion at year-end 2025 to $7.08 billion in Q4 2026, indicating potential capital allocation strategies or changes in liquidity management. The operating cash flow trend will also be crucial, as it reflects the company’s operational efficiency and capacity for investments or dividends.
