Cisco just won a $17 billion project with Bahrain and now earns more than half its income from ongoing software subscriptions, making cash flow steadier. The share price is hovering around its recent average while trading activity stays calm, hinting that buyers may soon step in. Many investors already feel positive and the stock is still reasonably priced, so a move toward $78 over the next three months looks possible.

Primary drivers

  • A $17 billion Bahrain contract secures years of work and clearer future sales.
  • Over half of revenue now comes from subscriptions, creating steadier income.
  • Quiet but rising demand in trading suggests investors are quietly adding shares.
  • Investors like the stock yet the price is fair, offering a gentler way into AI.

How it played out

CSCO: target was not reached

Lyra published CSCO at $67.91 on 2025-07-26 with an expected gain of 17%. The thesis pointed to a $17 billion Bahrain project, more than half of income coming from ongoing software subscriptions, calm trading activity, positive investor sentiment, and a fair price for exposure to artificial intelligence.

Inside the window, CSCO rose to a peak of $71.73 on 2025-08-11, a 5.6% gain. It stayed below the $78.56 target and never reached it. By 2025-10-24, it ended at $70.25. The thesis partially played out, but the full target missed.

What happened during the window

On 2025-08-14, Investor's Business Daily reported that Cisco's fiscal fourth-quarter revenue was $14.7 billion and adjusted earnings were $0.99 per share. On 2025-10-01, TechRadar reported that Cisco had released patches for two Cisco ASA and FTD vulnerabilities that were being exploited.
