UPDATE - Nomura Securities initiates coverage on Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) with a Buy. PT $24.00.
Analyst, Stuart Jeffrey, said, "Our analysis suggests that consensus estimates have understated the potential for revenue growth and the likelihood of gross margin improvement. We see scope for market estimates to move higher during the course of the next three quarters (fiscal 2012) and to accelerate thereafter, driven by 1) gross margin recovery post Q2 due to a healthier product mix and 2) revenue upside on solid routing and switching end-market trends and solid execution in higher-gross-margin divisions. Our adjusted FY12 and FY13 EPS ests are $2.09 and $2.33, respectively."
"Risks include the possibility of major data center contract wins by Juniper (Nasdaq: JNPR) and HP (NYSE: HPQ) in H1 2012. However, we currently consider this unlikely."
