Cisco is scheduled to release its Q4 and full year fiscal 2016 earnings on August 17. We expect a moderate improvement in the company’s top line (excluding the SP Video business) owing to its position in the security domain and rapid growth in the cloud-based SaaS business, partially offset by weaker than expected demand from enterprise customers.

Cisco has seen expansion in its capabilities in cloud, security, Iot, SaaS and analytics through acquisitions, which should assist its top line going forward. The company’s strategy of leveraging security to sell proprietary bundled products has helped it fend off pressure from white label competition to an extent. This has enabled sustainable moderate growth in revenues for the company, which was likely the case in fiscal Q4 as well.
