Networking revenue declined 23% to $6.75 billion, under the $6.8 billion consensus, while security revenue doubled to $2.02 billion, exceeding expectations. Cisco’s collaboration segment saw revenue of $1.09 billion, slightly below estimates.

Chief Executive Chuck Robbins noted that AI-related orders from large clients surpassed $300 million, and Cisco remains confident in hitting $1 billion in AI orders this fiscal year.

The company raised its full-year guidance, now forecasting adjusted EPS of $3.60 to $3.66 on revenue between $55.3 billion and $56.3 billion.

That’s up from the previous projection of $3.52 to $3.58 in EPS and $55 billion to $56.2 billion in revenue. Analysts expect adjusted EPS of $3.58 for the year on $55.89 billion in revenue.

Disney gained 6% after the company reported fiscal-fourth-quarter earnings that surpassed analyst expectations, driven by growth in its streaming and entertainment segments.
