Sterne Agee maintains a 'Buy' on Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO).
Analyst, Shaw Wu, said, "CSCO will report its April quarter this Wednesday, May 9, 2012, after the close. Based on our supply chain checks, we anticipate a solid quarter in-line or better than consensus at $11.6 billion in revenue and $0.47 in EPS. For its outlook, we anticipate in-line guidance. Most importantly, we believe this could mark the 4th quarter in a row where the company will not guide down expectations."
"We continue to believe CSCO is an underappreciated turnaround story similar to what we have seen with Apple (Nasdaq: AAPL), IBM (NYSE: IBM), and EMC (NYSE: EMC) in the past. We see upside to $27 based on an 11x multiple on CY12 EPS plus $6 in net cash that represents nearly 30% of its market capitalization."
