Cisco Chief Financial Officer Larry Carter said sales will rise ``high single digits to low double digits'' in the second quarter from the first quarter this year.

6.5 billion this quarter was 13.9 % revenue growth over last quarter. Carter is calling for `high single digits to low double digits'. So what's that? Sounds like less then 13.9% at least! Now here's Sagawa...

``I don't think Cisco has as much visibility into the next two to three quarters as they would like. They're putting a brave face forward,'' said Paul Sagawa, analyst with Sanford Bernstein, who says Cisco's rate of earnings growth will 'decelerate''.

So CSCO has to do 11.6% quarter over quarter growth to maintain the year over year growth rate of 67%. That's 7.28 bil. I guess Sagawa is thinking that the quarter over quarter growth rate will be closer to the `high single digits' then to the 'low double digits' Larry Charter forcasted. There you go! 11.6% Q2 over Q1 and 67% year over year for 7.3 bil or the revenue growth rate slows. It's a tall order...will csco be up to the task? And will the stock be up with it?
