Cisco had another bit of good news. The company's book-to-bill ratio, which shows the number of shipped orders to unfilled orders, was above one. A ratio above one suggests sales will hit their forecasts.

In the previous five quarters, the ratio was below one. Bhasin said it's a good sign for Cisco to have a backlog of orders going into the fiscal first quarter. This has traditionally been Cisco's weakest quarter for sales due to summer holidays.

"They should show a strong backlog to comfort investors about their first-quarter results," Bhasin said.
