Cisco earnings preview
Analysts anticipate earnings of 97 cents per share, 10 cents higher than the same quarter last year. Revenue is forecast to reach $14.40 billion. Last year revenue came in at $12.84bln.

Investment in India
Cisco Systems is due to report after the closing bell on Wall Street tonight. This stock is an all-session stock on the IG platform. It will open at nine o'clock this morning UK time.
Last week, Cisco announced a significant investment in India hoping that its new manufacturing operation will support demand in India and also globally. Cisco aims to drive over a billion dollars in combined exports and domestic production over the next few years. The company has been present in India since 1995.
The country is the group's largest R&D centre outside of the US and of course, we've been hearing a lot more about what's happening in India with the likes of Apple moving a lot of its manufacturing there as well. So India playing a big part in Cisco Systems.
