Re: Cisco: Slowing Capital Returns, Executive Departures, and Here Comes HPE, Says Cautious Goldman

Another article on the Cisco Downgrade from Goldman.  It specifically mentions Nokia:

Network-Equipment Competition Rising for Cisco -- Market Talk 10:18 AM ET 6/15/16 | Dow Jones

10:18 ET - After 5 years on Goldman Sachs' buy list, Cisco (CSCO) gets downgraded to neutral as the investment bank says multiple expansion might get capped by "competitive and execution concerns." Goldman still sees CSCO notching modest revenue and EPS growth the next several years, with rates less than what the company generated the past 5. But it says there's "modest downside risk to Street estimates"--which Goldman's forecasts are in line with. That's on both recent executive turnover and "rising competitive threats" in networking gear from the likes of Hewlett Packard Enterprises (HPE) and Juniper (JNPR). That adds "to the already-significant pressure" from Nokia(NOK)-owned Alcatel, Arista (ANET) and Huawei. CSCO is at the bottom of the Dow industrials with its 1.6% drop to $28.50.
