Cisco's earnings climb Computer networking company to split stock amid 30 percent jump in sales November 4, 1997: 7:20 p.m. ET Cisco Systems, Inc. NEW YORK (CNNfn) - Computer networking company Cisco Systems Inc. Tuesday reported higher earnings for its first fiscal quarter amid a 30 percent increase in sales.

The company also announced a three-for-two stock split, which will take effect Dec. 16, 1997. It is the sixth time Cisco's common stock has been split since the company's initial public offering.
