Cisco Systems' (NASDAQ: CSCO) stock rose 3% on Aug. 17 after the networking giant posted its latest earnings report. For the fourth quarter of fiscal 2023, which ended on July 29, its revenue rose 16% year over year to $15.2 billion and exceeded analysts' estimates by $150 million. Its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) rose 37% to $1.14 and also cleared the consensus forecast by $0.08. Those headline numbers were impressive, but is Cisco still worth buying in this wobbly market?
