We raise our 12-month target price by $40 to $125, based on 26.5x our FY 27 (Jul.) EPS estimate, a premium to its one-year forward average P/E of 18.0x, reflecting recent strong results. We increase our FY 26 EPS estimate by $0.16 to $4.28 and FY 27's by $0.28 to $4.71. Networking product orders accelerated, with more than 50% growth, due to considerable gains in areas such as service provider routing, compute, data center switching, campus switching, wireless, enterprise routing, and industrial IoT products. The AI infrastructure business showed substantial order growth, particularly from hyperscalers, with YTD totals already exceeding previous expectations and a revised outlook for further increases. CSCO secured five new design wins with hyperscalers in the third quarter, including wins for both optics and systems, marking expansion in its AI infrastructure offerings.
