☆ Citi upgrades Cisco Systems, says Wall Street is underestimating AI tailwinds

Don't overlook the artificial intelligence potential of Cisco Systems , Citi said. "While AI is currently a small piece of the biz (~2% of revs), we see the potential for a stronger contribution," he wrote. At least three major hyperscalers have already begun using the company's tools in backend networks, and Malik views Cisco's recent $9 billion 2027 hyperscaler AI opportunity forecast as potentially understated. "We believe shares warrant a sizable discount to networking peer valuation to reflect lingering share loss concerns, somewhat tempered by growing AI opportunities," he wrote. "Even at a 30+% discounted target multiple to peer average, we see meaningful upside to shares."

Over the past month, the S & P 500 has climbed 3.2% to break above 5,800 for the first time. "Despite all the soft-landing and Fed rate cut optimism, the S & P 500 up almost 40% y/y has simply over-shot," he wrote in a note to clients. "S & P 500 over-valuation has been supported by (and fully reflects) the Fed likely cutting the real funds rate," he added. This summer, he said he expected the S & P 500 to fall to 5,000 by the fourth quarter. While not included in CNBC Pro's Market Strategist Survey , that forecast would mark Stifel as the second lowest among those surveyed.
