The single biggest driver of the quarter's strength was Security, where revenue surged 54% year over year to $2.01 billion, fueled by Splunk integration and organic demand, while AI infrastructure orders from webscale customers exceeded $600 million, allowing Cisco to cross its $1 billion cumulative AI orders milestone a full quarter ahead of schedule. Those results going into earnings had analysts watching AI traction closely, and management did not disappoint. Looking ahead, Cisco guided Q4 revenue of $14.50 billion to $14.70 billion with non-GAAP EPS of $0.96 to $0.98, while full-year FY2025 revenue guidance was set at $56.50 billion to $56.70 billion, with all figures incorporating estimated tariff impacts under current trade policy.

Key Takeaways

  • Product orders up 20% year over year (9% excluding Splunk) with growth across all geographies and customer markets
  • Security revenue surged 54% year over year driven by Splunk integration and strong demand
  • AI infrastructure momentum with webscale customer orders exceeding $600 million
  • Revenue, margins, and EPS all exceeded the high end of guidance ranges
  • Americas revenue up 14% year over year, leading all geographic segments
