Send to email | Cisco Earnings Preview: Another Bomb Hidden In Conference Call? in CSCOJAVA | By Silicon el 06-May-2008 |

Cisco (CSCO) reports FQ3 earnings after the bell. The
conference call is scheduled for 16:30 ET. We will provide live
analysis here.
After competitor Sun Microsystems (JAVA) reported a disastrous Q1,
analysts and investors are worried that
CSCO will suffer from the same macro effects that derailed JAVA.
There's also a crucial mix issue with regard to service and product
sales. Services have been growing faster in the last few quarters, but
products have a fatter margin.
Last quarter, CEO John Chambers threw a bomb into the conference call when he said January sales had stalled and he was therefore reducing guidance for the rest of the quarter. Tonight's outlook will be equally important--for the company, the tech sector, and the market as a whole.
Key Stats
- Revenue: Consensus is $9.75 billion, up 10%. This is also the guidance figure.
- EPS: Consensus $0.36, 7% y/y
- Gross Margin: Guidance is 65%
- Operating Expenses: Guidance: 37%
- Tax Rate: Guidance: 24%
- Outlook:
- July Quarter (FQ4): $10.3 billion of revenue, $0.39 EPS
- FY09: $43.39 billion of revenue, $1.69 EPS
