Still glad I sold all my Cisco shares back in 2017. Since then I've refused to invest in any fund that has Cisco shares (and yes, it's personal. I was laid off. Sc--w the "it's not personal, it's business" cr-p you get from management).

It only took like 25 years to get the stock back to its all time high.
Using the CPI calculator the March 2000 peak $82 price would be $155.57 as of September 2025 or about twice today's $78 and the peak market cap of around $560B would be over $1T or more than three times today's $307B. The difference in ratios is due to a massive reduction in outstanding shares.
This reminds me of earlier times at Cisco where high level technical people compared Cisco to Juniper based on the price of a single share from each company.
Now that people are making bank I noticed no one is screaming we need to fire Chuck anymore.
@ag sure its possible. 160% my first year, and then i stuck around and learned how disfunctional this company is and what it's really like to work here and its slid all the way down to 120% and me secretly hoping theres a package heading my way
It only took like 25 years to get the stock back to its all time high. It has languished over the years, don't hold your breathe that it is sustainable at these price points, it will slowly drift right back down into the low 70's.
@ag yeah, I've had a high of 160%. low was 120% my first year.
After hours stocks just hit $80 :o
my RSUs will vest in mid Dec this year. yipppppppppppppie.
@ae You can always trust someone or something named Claude...
140% ipf - is it even possible?
My highest was 135, and my lowest was 120. I don't even know how it's measured.
Sbg should fire from elt to all directors. With new elt and slt, the fire all managers and all tech lead with less then 140% ipf.
Sbg needs more vps and less engineers. AI can replace engineering. VP brings more strategies.
SBG missed again (2% decline), what a tu-d
should I start to clear out my desk? I work in SBG. dragging the company down.

Anyone who works in sales or sales adjacent knows it was a good quarter. Most of the people saying otherwise either were already laid off or are bitter and it’s odd you’re hoping for failure
@a3 nothing related with you, I will have a 5 mins meeting with you tomorrow morning, invitation has been sent to you, you can't decline.
@a5 they technically have been, at least for one site.
The crew in Ottawa were told that due to "renovations" they need to remove ALL personal items from the site effective December 11th, so the layoff probably be the 12th.
Maybe just a clean sweep of that campus but why not throw a few thousand more on top of that right?
Cisco expects additional restructuring and asset-impairment costs later in FY 2026, budgeting about $0.03–$0.04 per share for the full year.
earnings call is starting now...
@a1 this is so stupid.. earnings call not even started yet. no docs published publicly yet. you're an id--t
And no layoffs announced!!!!!!!
But wait - what about all those "reliable sources", and the SVPs who for some reason share company financial secrets with crusty embittered engineers?
Haven’t had a raise to my base comp in years, but glad all of the ELT folks will get their performance bonus for EPS. 🤮
We did it. Great work for this quarter!

And no layoffs announced!!!!!!!
