If you believe CSCO can sustain its 5.3% revenue growth and 20.8% operating margin despite the premium multiple, then hold or accumulate selectively because the business quality is strong, but the current price already discounts much of that strength.
CSCO trades at 45.5x P/E and 8.1x P/S, which is a rich multiple for a mature networking franchise versus JNPR, especially since direct JNPR multiples for JNPR are unavailable. The stock is currently above the top of its historical band at $115.99 versus $104.39-$127.59, while the DCF range of $23.53-$31.84 implies a much lower intrinsic value range.
