I'm amazed they're moving CSCO right now. The market is completely misunderstanding what they said at the Merrill conference. They said they're on track for 30-50 percent year-over-year growth. Well, FY2000 revenues: $18.928 billion. 1Q2001 revenues: $6.519 billion. 2Q2001 revenues: $6.748 billion. 1H2001 revenues: $13.267 billion. If CSCO's revenues are flat for 2H2001, relative to 1H2001, FY2001 revenues will be $26.534 billion, which is 40.2 percent year-over-year growth. If CSCO's quarterly revenues remain flat with 2Q2001 for the rest of the year, FY2001 revenues will be $26.763 billion, which is 41.4 percent year-over-year growth.

The bottom line is that CSCO racked up so much growth in 1Q2001 and 2Q2001, compared to 1Q2000 and 2Q2000 comps, that it could see a substantial decline in sequential revenue and still hit the lower end of its projected growth band. Specifically, CSCO needs 2H2001 revenues of $11.339 billion in order to hit 30 percent growth; that would be a 14.6 percent decline in revenues in 2H2001, relative to 1H2001. The market should be focusing on the fact that Chambers said business hasn't picked up in March.
