Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached its target in 74 days.
The thesis — published August 31, 2025
Cisco's trend looks better, and buying interest is picking up while the price still has room to run. Its new work with AT&T to sell secure remote access tools should lift steady, subscription software revenue from large companies, matching rising needs for AI-ready networks. Media buzz is positive, drawing in more buyers. This could play out over the next 1-3 months as orders settle. Best entries are on pullbacks near 68-69.
Primary drivers
- AT&T deal should widen sales of Cisco's secure remote access tools to firms
- Buying interest is improving and more traders are stepping in than before
- Large companies need faster, safer networks to handle AI and cloud growth
- Positive talk in the media and by investors can attract more buyers
