Cisco Systems Inc. stock (NASDAQ: CSCO) is down around 2% in the past month (21 trading days), underperforming the S&P 500 which was up a little under 2% over this period. If you look at the change over the last five and ten days, too, the stock has returned -2.4% and 0.7%, underperforming the broader market on both occasions. Cisco’s recent strong Q2 ’22 earnings saw revenue rising from $11.96 billion in Q2 ’21 to $12.72 billion in Q2 ’22 (Cisco’s fiscal year ends in July). Operating expenses rose at a slightly slower rate, and operating income came in higher at $3.49 billion against $3.22 billion in Q2 ’21. Additionally, a drop in the effective tax rate and the outstanding share count helped boost EPS from $0.60 to $0.71 over this period.

Now, is Cisco stock set to continue its underperformance or could we expect a rally? We believe that there is a decent 66% chance of a rise in Cisco stock over the next month (21 trading days) based on our machine learning analysis of trends in the stock price over the last ten years.
