Hmm. Not sure that this is a negative. Rather, it's a fact of life. At close to $20B per year in revenues, Cisco is smacking up against the law of large numbers. So we should all be glad to hear that Chambers is realizing this and is leaving all options on the table, including share buybacks and dividends, in order to keep EPS and share price growth going. Remember, there are plenty of behemoths like IBM and who were able to manage nice share price growth despite revenues that didn't grow at a 50% clip anymore.
