UBS maintains a 'Buy' on Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) price target raised from $23 to $24.

UBS analyst says, "2Q revs and EPS beat investor expectations. Cisco’s order pipeline was healthy growing 7% YoY with a B2B of 1...CSCO again defied service provider capital spending gravity with total SP orders +12% YoY, leading customer order growth for the 3rd quarter running."

"We tweak our CY12 and CY13 sales and EPS fcsts higher to $47.4B (+6%) and $1.87 and $50.8B (+7%) and $2.02 from $46.5B and $1.81 and $49.9B and $1.96. Cisco generated $2.8B in FCF in 2Q, raised its qtrly dividend to $0.08 per shr, and we expect M&A to become a new priority. Total cash of ~$46.7B (~$5B in US)."
