Frequently asked questions
Is CSCO growing its revenue and profit?
Over the past 5 years, Cisco Systems's revenue has grown 4.9% per year, and net income grown 4.6% per year. These are computed facts, not advice.
How much debt does CSCO have?
As of FY2026, Cisco Systems reported $22.9B of total debt against $7.2B of cash; operating income covered interest expense 10×.
What is CSCO's profit margin?
In FY2026, gross margin was 64.5%, operating margin 24.3%, and net margin 21.0%.
What is CSCO's P/E ratio?
Cisco Systems's P/E (TTM) is 30.22 as of the 2026-11-02 close — market cap ÷ net income over the trailing twelve months where four consecutive quarters are reported, otherwise the latest fiscal year, the same figure as on the CSCO stock page. The valuation chart above sets each month-end's price against the latest annual net income instead, so its latest point (about 30.2× as of Nov '26) can differ. These are computed facts, not advice.
Where does this data come from?
All figures are extracted from the company’s SEC EDGAR/XBRL filings — 10-K annual reports and 10-Q quarterly reports (use the Annual / Quarterly toggle). Quarterly figures are derived from the as-filed statements (year-to-date amounts are differenced into discrete quarters). Growth rates and ratios are computed by tradmap; nothing here is investment advice.
