NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Cisco delivered a strong target-beating report
that could help boost the tech sector.
The networking gearmaker posted adjusted earnings of 36 cents a share,
down from 42 cents in the year-ago period but better than analysts'
earnings target of 31 cents, according to Yahoo Finance.
Sales for the fiscal first quarter ended last month were $9 billion,
down 13% from the $10.33 billion level last year. Analysts were
looking for sales of $8.74 billion.
