Goldman Sachs Downgrades Cisco to ‘Neutral’ from ‘Conviction Buyâ€

nvestment banker Goldman Sachs (GS) said Monday that it cut its rating on Internet network company Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) to “neutral” from “conviction buy.”

A Goldman analyst said that since Cisco has reached the banker’s $18 price target, that Goldman views its “growth expectation as largely priced in.” Goldman added that it maintains a positive long-term view for the company.

Cisco shares fell 93 cents, or -5%, in late Monday trading.

The Bottom Line
The stock has technical support around the $13 level. If that fails to hold, we could see the $9 price point come into play. If the shares can firm up, we see overhead resistance around the $19-21 price levels. We do not currently rate this non-dividend paying stock at this time, but we do monitor the company closely as it is a key technology name.

Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) does not currently pay a dividend.
