Cisco (CSCO, $43.83) gets price target boosts from analysts

Citi’s Jim Suva boosted his price target to $48 from $40, and affirmed his buy rating on Cisco shares, citing results and outlook that were “materially stronger than expected,” coupled with Cisco’s offered flexible payment terms during the coronavirus crisis – something that should generate more customer loyalty, according to Suva.
