Cisco (NASDAQ:CSCO) stock is rising higher on Thursday after the company released positive fourth-quarter results for 2022.
The good news for CSCO stock starts with its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) of 83 cents. That comes in above the 82 cents per share Wall Street had estimated, even if it’s a 1% drop year-over-year (YOY) from 84 cents.
Adding to the celebrations today is revenue of $13.1 billion. Yet again, that beats out analysts’ revenue estimate of $12.78 billion for the quarter. Revenue also matched with the sales figure reported in the fiscal Q4 2021.
Cisco Chairman and CEO Chuck Robbins said the following in the earnings report:
“We had a strong end to our fiscal year thanks to our Q4 performance. Our teams executed well in the midst of an incredibly dynamic environment, resulting in the highest full year non-GAAP earnings per share in the history of the company.”
