Thread regarding Cisco Systems Inc. layoffs

wall street apparently doesn't care about ARR/RPO

subscriptions up 5% y/y, ARR up 6%, RPO up 12%

after-hours down ~5%, despite increased dividend of 3%

why? because total revenue is down. investors only care about growth...

Service Provider - these are the big telco and tech company customers

If you look at the five year stock price for companies like AT&T and Verizon they're down. I don't know what the overall industry revenues for SP equipment is but this doesn't scream raging high margin growth to me.

Guidance at end of FY23 was:
Revenue: $57.0 billion to $58.2 billion

The guidance now is:
$51.5 billion to $52.5 billion

That’s an approx. 10% reduction on the guidance in a little over 6 months.

That’s some poor financial planning I can only assume that big severance number of $800M is to cover some of the senior people who have messed up on this number.
