   Cisco Posts Record 4Q Profit, as Sales Climbed 26%
      SAN JOSE, Calif. -- Cisco Systems Inc. (CSCO) posted a 41% surge in
fiscal fourth-quarter net income, putting earnings at a record high.
      For the quarter ended July 31, the networking-gear giant late Tuesday
reported net income of $1.38 billion, or 20 cents a share, compared with
$982 million, or 14 cents a share, a year earlier.
      Excluding stock-compensation and acquisition-related expenses, both
considered part of ordinary operations under generally accepted accounting
principles, Cisco said it would have earned $1.48 billion, or 21 cents a
share, up from $ 1.09 billion, or 15 cents a share, a year earlier.
      Net sales jumped 26% to $5.93 billion from $4.7 billion. When Cisco
released its fiscal third-quarter results in May, it projected
fourth-quarter sales would rise 23% to 25%.
      In a written statement, President and Chief Executive John Chambers
said net income and earnings excluding items in the latest quarter both hit
records. He credited "the investments [Cisco has] made in emerging markets
around the world, coupled with continued innovation in our core business and
advanced technologies."
      Cisco's results also benefited in the past year from an increase in
corporate capital spending, in part for increasing capacity and transmission
speeds on the Internet.
      For all of fiscal 2004, Cisco had net income of $4.4 billion, or 62
cents a share, compared with $3.58 billion, or 50 cents a share, a year
earlier. Excluding items, the company's earnings would have risen to $5.34
billion, or 76 cents a share, from $4.29 billion, or 59 cents a share, in
fiscal 2003. Net sales climbed 17% to $22.05 billion from $18.88 billion.
      During the fiscal fourth quarter, Cisco said it repurchased 90 million
shares of stock for $2 billion. For the fiscal year, the firm bought back
408 million shares, spending $9.1 billion. The company has about 6.94
billion diluted shares outstanding.
      Cisco officials were slated to discuss the firm's fiscal first-quarter
outlook during a conference call that began at 4:30 p.m. EDT.
      The company reported results after the market close. At 4 p.m. EDT,
shares of Cisco were up 41 cents, or 2% at $20.46 on the Nasdaq Stock
Market. The shares slid to $19.82 in after-hours activity, according to
INET.

Mi sa che devo rispolverare l'abbecedario..................cosě...da quello
che avevo letto ed interpretato mi pareva che la trimestrale fosse migliore
dello stesso trimestre 2003 e del trimestre precedente...con outlook
stabile......
Per il futuro cosa si aspettava il mercato che non abbia ancora scontato
(partendo dal presupposto che i prezzi sono corretti...perchč se
consideriamo tutti i fattori...concordo con te che ogni valore oltre 20600
sia buono per shortare...)?

 stabile......
capisco voler difendere le proprie idee,
ma di solito conta di più l'outlook o i dati del trimestre passato ?
sono aumentate le scorte più del previsto
il CEO ha detto che la crescita nel prossimo trimestre sarà inferiore
e queste per te sono buone notizie, outlook stabile ?
quando si nega l'evidenza
io mi arrendo.

 io mi arrendo.
Nessuno nega l'evidenza..............non arrenderti...
