CISCO SYSTEMS (CSCO): First Union Securities lowered its rating on Cisco
Systems to Market Perform from Buy on May 8. The data networking giant's
shares have seen a recent run-up to the $20 range, which, to First Union, is too
rich. The shares closed at $19.05 on May 11. The firm's analysis of the service
provider market suggests that the growth rate will return to 20% in the next 24
months. First Union believes that an appropriate price-to-earnings multiple for a
stock with a 20% growth rate is between 20 and 30 times the forward-year earnings, implying a
trading range of between $10 and $15. Earnings estimates for calendar 2002 remain unchanged at $0.50. Fiscal year EPS forecasts for 2001 and 2002 are $0.39 and $0.24, respectively
