Cisco's "Widespread Demand"
Technology company Cisco Systems $CSCO ( ▲ 3.14% ) jumped 7.46% in after-hours trading on Wednesday after posting strong financial earnings results.
Financials: Cisco reported earnings of $1 per share in the past quarter and revenue of $14.9 billion. Both were better than expected.
Quote: “The widespread demand for our technologies highlights the critical role of secure networking and the value of our portfolio as customers move quickly to unlock the potential of AI.” - CEO Chuck Robbins.
Early Bird’s Nest Egg Gains: Cisco is experiencing high demand right now primarily due to a surge in orders for AI infrastructure, a large multi-year refresh cycle for campus and enterprise networking, and continued strong adoption of its upgraded networking and security products.
Final Thoughts: While other tech stocks have struggled in recent weeks, Cisco has thrived.
The AI Race Just Went Nuclear — Own the Rails.
Meta, Google, and Microsoft just reported record profits — and record AI infrastructure spending:
Meta boosted its AI budget to as much as $72 billion this year.
Google raised its estimate to $93 billion for 2025.
Microsoft is following suit, investing heavily in AI data centers and decision layers.
While Wall Street reacts, the message is clear: AI infrastructure is the next trillion-dollar frontier.
RAD Intel already builds that infrastructure — the AI decision layer powering marketing performance for Fortune 1000 brands. Backed by Adobe, Fidelity Ventures, and insiders from Google, Meta, and Amazon, the company has raised $50M+, grown valuation 4,900%, and doubled sales contracts in 2025 with seven-figure contracts secured.
Shares remain $0.81 until Nov 20, then the price changes.
