Cisco looks like a steady, upward story. Recently, lots more people are buying than usual, a sign of rising interest. On 9-30 the company opened an AI-focused Austin office. Research points to a fast-growing potential customer base for contact center software through 2035. We prefer buying on dips as the backlog turns into shipments and the software mix grows.

Primary drivers

  • Buying interest is rising and the price trend looks healthier over time
  • Contact center software has a growing potential customer base through 2035
  • New AI-focused Austin office opened on 9-30 to show real products
  • More subscription sales can smooth revenue and make earnings steadier
