Cisco Systems Inc. stock (NASDAQ: CSCO) is down 10% in the past month (21 trading days), underperforming the S&P 500 which was down almost 8% over this period. If you look at the change over the last five and ten days, too, the stock has returned -6.1% and -9.2%, underperforming the broader market on both occasions. Cisco had reported strong Q1 ’22 earnings in late November (Cisco’s fiscal year ends in July), with revenue rising from $11.9 billion in Q1 ’21 to $12.9 billion in Q1 ’22, driven primarily by rising product sales. Further, with COGS and operating expenses rising at a slower rate, operating margins jumped from 21.5% to 26.7% over this period. This led to EPS rising from $0.51 in Q1 ’21 to $0.71 in Q1 ’22. The stock rallied immediately, setting a multi-year high of around $64, before tumbling this month amidst the sell-off in the broader market.

Now, is Cisco stock set to continue its underperformance or could we expect a rally?
