Deutsche Bank maintains a 'Buy' on Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) price target lowered from $24 to $22.

Analyst, Brian Modoff, said, "Good results (Q3 revenues: $11.59B ; $0.48 pro-forma EPS) – roughly inline on revenues; slight beat on EPS, versus DB and consensus. The weak Q4 guide ($11.59B / $0.45 on the mid point) is indicative of near-term macro-driven uncertainty in enterprise IT spending. We see Cisco a fundamentally sound business; treading cautiously, and see modest out-performance in the stock, based on potential for improving demand in 2H+. We remain with our Buy rating; noting meaningful 2H+ ramps in 10GE datacenter and Cloud rollouts, mobility, and video."

Deutsche Bank cuts FY12 EPS estimate from $1.53 to $1.49 and revs from $46.522 bln to $45.851 bln.
