CSCO compared to the combined FORE+ASND+COMS
analysis of current products introductions and the types and breath of large contracts
won by competitions, imo, conclusion at this point is that csco is and will get very tough
pressure on pricing at all fronts, the enterprise, the SP WANs and the high-end routers.
IMO, csco is at the juncture where its' segment competitors are ready and lined-up with
their best shots for severe competitions and from the analysis of the products it's not
going to be easy and will cut deeply into margin;
csco at almost 100B mkt valuation, revenue of 7B$
FORE+ASND+COMS at only 20B mkt valuation, combined revenue of 8B$
imo, at this point segment products of these 3 competitors are in good position to
capture csco share
IMO, by converting each csco to 1 ASND, 1 COMS and 1 FORE (approximate
conversion) will give one a much better appreciation and less downside risk for the
above reasons.
1 csco ==> to 1 ASND + 1 COMS + 1 FORE; and also left over for 1 CS as a bonus |
