Oppenheimer channel checks of Cisco's (Nasdaq: CSCO) business in U.S./Europe, say July results are tracking in line with expectations, notes a report today.

"Our contacts point to solid demand in the US and a challenging environment in Europe," said analyst Ittai Kidron.

"Switching was highlighted as an area of strength while security, collaboration and wireless were mixed. Looking ahead, our checks point to a solid pipeline for October yet with Europe still a headwind. Thus, we expect flattish guidance with a small potential for upside. We expect management to address several areas of investor concern including the recent layoff announcement, VMW/Nicira's implications and the acquired NDS. Overall, we believe expectations were well managed."

Oppenheimer has an Outperform rating on Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) with a price target of $22.00.
