Mixed Signals for Cisco Systems ahead of earnings

Cisco Systems (Nasdaq: CSCO) is set to report fiscal first quarter earnings on Wednesday, November 13, after the closing bell. The tech bellwether is expected to report earnings of $0.81 per share. I am pretty certain the company will beat its EPS estimate because it almost always does. Cisco is the king of beating earnings by a penny or two—they have been doing it for years. The question is, how will investors react to the earnings report? That is what really matters.

Heading in to the report there are some mixed signals from the daily and weekly charts. On the daily chart we see that the stock has rallied over the last month or so and that has put the stochastic readings in overbought territory. The indicators did make a bearish crossover on November 11.

One other thing we see on the daily chart is that the 10-day moving average just crossed bullishly above the 50-day moving average. This is usually a sign of a change in the trend.

Looking at the weekly chart we see a stock that has just hit an upwardly-sloped trend line that connects the lows from 2017 and 2018. That trend line is just above the 104-week moving average (two years of data).

We also see that the weekly stochastic readings have just moved out of oversold territory in the last few weeks. The indicators did a little double-dip over the last few months, but the momentum seems to have changed a little in the past week or so.

Looking at the fundamental indicators for Cisco, the company has performed pretty well over the last few years. Earnings have grown by an average of 9% per year over the last few years and they were up 19% in the fourth quarter. Sales have increased at a rate of 2% per year and were up by 5% in the fourth quarter.

Where Cisco is well above average are its management efficiency measurements. The return on equity is an impressive 35.9% and the profit margin is at 32.8%. Both of these figures are well above average.

If we combine the ROE, the profit margin, and the sales growth we get the SMR rating from Tickeron. For Cisco the rating is 20 and that indicates very strong sales and a profitable business model. SMR (Sales, Margin, Return on Equity) rating is based on comparative analysis of weighted Sales, Income Margin and Return on Equity values compared against S&P 500 index constituents. The best rating a company can get is a 1 and the worst rating is a 100. Cisco is in the top 20th percentile.

Another area where Cisco does well is the Valuation Rating. Cisco scores a 7 in this category and that indicates that the company is seriously undervalued in the industry. A rating of 1 points to the most undervalued stocks, while a rating of 100 points to the most overvalued stocks. This rating compares market capitalization estimated by our proprietary formula with the current market capitalization.

The Tickeron Profit vs. Risk Rating for Cisco is 20, indicating low risk on high returns. The average Profit vs. Risk Rating for the industry is 72, placing this stock better than average.

One area of concern is the Tickeron PE Growth Rating. Cisco scores a 97, pointing to worse than average earnings growth. The PE Growth rating is based on a comparative analysis of stock PE ratio increase over the last 12 months compared against S&P 500 index constituents. A rating of 1 indicates highest PE growth while a rating of 100 indicates lowest PE growth. Furthermore, the PEG ratio is (0.0) for CSCO, as compared to the industry average of (4.1).

As far as the sentiment indicators for Cisco, they run the gamut. Analysts' ratings are slightly skewed to the bearish side, the short interest ratio is skewed to the bullish side, and the put/call ratio is neutral.

Some of the world’s biggest financial institutions have devoted multi-million dollar budgets to developing algorithms that can find patterns in the market, identify trends, and perform automated trading designed to take advantage of even the smallest price movements. The AI revolution is so big that as it stands today, the world’s five biggest hedge funds all use systems-based approaches to trade financial markets.Indeed, quantitative trading hedge funds now manage $918 billion (according to HFR), which amounts to 30% of the $3 trillion hedge fund industry – a percentage continues to grow with each year that passes.
Where smaller, more volatile companies can placate shareholders with higher returns, larger companies often use dividend payouts to entice new investors and hold their existing ones. These low-risk options may not work for every investment approach, but dividend-producing stocks can offer great benefits under the right circumstances – especially for portfolios built for the long-term.Beyond the ability to rely on these semi-regular payouts as an income stream – a strategy favored by retirees – dividends are an excellent vehicle for compounding earnings through reinvestment.
Artificial intelligence (AI) and fintech have an inherent compatibility that has become clearer as each sector has matured, with recent growth and successes on their own accord bringing new ideas about how they can work together.AI can analyze information at far greater quantities (and far more quickly) than any human, making it a natural fit to help fintech firms streamline and automate processes that benefit customers and businesses alike. Fintech has brought a revolution of convenience to the finance world.
You’ve set up your bitcoin wallet and have acquired some bitcoins, and now you’re ready to use them – what’s next?But be VERY careful to double- or triple-check that the address is correct – crypto transactions are irreversible, and a typo almost certainly means permanently losing the bitcoins you were trying to send. One way to avoid potential slip-ups is to scan a QR code (when available) for the destination address.
Mainstream acceptance has come in fits and starts, with regulatory approval proving hard to come by for a variety of reasons – not least of which the ever-present risk of theft via hacking or other means, which pose an especially large obstacle to attracting investment from mainstream institutions. Because crypto holdings are only accessible via a specific private key, they are susceptible to loss – literally, if the key is written on a piece of paper or a physical hard drive, methods of offline ‘cold storage’ – or through hacks if held in an online wallet.Reuters reports that over $800 million in crypto assets were stolen in the first half of 2018, creating justifiable concern for both owners and mainstream financial institutions alike. Some type of insurance coverage would potentially mitigate the risks inherent to owning crypto assets – if insurers are willing to play ball.
Don't fall prey to common financial traps that can derail your financial planning efforts.

Paper wallets are extremely useful tools – beyond being one of the most popular and secure cold storage methods, they make it simple to transfer coins between owners.You can access the funds on your paper wallet by “sweeping” (or importing) them to either a live wallet (like Trezor or Exodus) or an exchange service (like Coinbase). Most services allow you to import them directly from your wallet’s private key, but there are two key exceptions.
