Rosenblatt maintains Cisco Systems at Buy, lowers price target to $140 from $165

What happened

Rosenblatt kept its Buy rating on Cisco Systems but cut its price target to $140 from $165, a 15.2% decrease. The revised target implied 37.2% upside from Cisco’s November 12 closing price of $102.01.

Confirmed

Global impact / market context

The lower target signals Rosenblatt now sees less potential value for Cisco shares than before, even while retaining its Buy rating. The target is an analyst estimate, not a company result or a guaranteed return, so it does not by itself change Cisco’s revenue or costs.

Analyst inference

The article reports one analyst’s revised target alongside its unchanged Buy rating; it gives no reason for the cut and no other analyst views. The stated upside uses the November 12 close, so it is tied to that reference price rather than a current quote.

Confirmed

What to watch

1. Whether Rosenblatt explains the target reduction or changes its Buy rating; the article provides no reason for the cut, leaving its assumptions about Cisco unclear. Analyst inference
2. Cisco’s future business results and guidance could show whether sales, costs, or cash available support or challenge the expectations behind the lower target. Analyst inference
3. Further analyst target or rating changes may indicate whether Rosenblatt’s lower estimate is an isolated revision or part of a broader reassessment of Cisco. Analyst inference
