You'll Be Surprised at the Size of Cisco's War Chest

When investors think of Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO), they probably think of a dull, mature tech company that barely generates any growth with its aging businesses of routers and switches. They'd be partly right -- Cisco's revenue fell 2.5% last year, and analysts anticipate just 0.3% growth this year.

Some bulls believe that the growth of Cisco's cybersecurity unit can eventually boost its revenues again, but that business grew just 3% last quarter. However, fewer bulls focus on Cisco's growing war chest, which has amassed enough cash to make significant changes to the company's core business.
