Why Cisco's Stock Popped Today
Shares of Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) jumped today after a JPMorgan analyst upgraded the company's stock to overweight from neutral. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee also increased his price target for Cisco's stock to $55 from the previous $50. The upgrade is based on a few things that are working in Cisco's favor, including increased IT spending in the sector, Cisco's transition to subscription revenue, and the company's "inexpensive valuation."
