Thread: Why can CSCO generate such high gross margins? I've just started bargin shopping in some of the down trodden network stocks, however before I start buying I want to understand why CSCO seems to be able to generate over 70% gross margins while all the competition sit at around 30 to 40%. Is it simply a matter of CSCO charging twice as much as its competitors and getting away with it? Or are design and manufacturing efficiencies responsible for the differences? I sure am curious and hope to hear from some CSCO bulls as well as Bears. Slob
