Cisco bumps FY26 hyperscaler AI orders to ~$9B, 4.5x FY25
Cisco delivered a record quarter driven by surging AI infrastructure demand from hyperscalers and broad-based enterprise networking refresh. The company raised its FY26 AI orders target to $9B, guided to a strong Q4, and announced a restructuring to focus on high-growth areas. Management emphasized pricing power and supply chain security as key levers to mitigate memory cost inflation and stabilize gross margins. Q3 FY26 revenue was $15.8B (+12%), with product revenue up 17% and product orders up 35% y/y.

Management emphasized pricing power and supply chain security as key levers to mitigate memory cost inflation and stabilize gross margins. Q3 FY26 revenue was $15.8B (+12%), with product revenue up 17% and product orders up 35% y/y.
- AI infrastructure orders from hyperscalers reached $1.9B in Q3, bringing YTD to $5.3B; FY26 target raised to ~$9B (up from $5B initial).
- Q4 FY26 guidance implies ~14.5% revenue growth, with gross margin stabilizing at ~66% despite memory cost inflation.
- The company announced a restructuring plan, expecting up to $1B in pre-tax charges, to reallocate resources toward silicon, optics, security, and AI.

Оценка менеджмента
Upbeat
Management repeatedly highlights record revenue, record orders, raised AI targets, and guidance toward its 'strongest year ever,' while treating memory costs and the Splunk transition as manageable offsets.
Оценка AI от менеджмента
Management says AI demand is broad and durable, not just hyperscaler-driven: hyperscaler AI orders are being raised to ~$9B for FY26 (4.5x FY25), Acacia optics orders hit a record >$1B in Q3, and there is a ~$3B pipeline from neocloud/sovereign/enterprise customers. They position Cisco's own silicon and optics as key competitive advantages and see AI driving a multi-year campus/enterprise network
Инвестиции и мощности
Rather than conventional capex guidance, Cisco is investing heavily in supply/capacity: inventory and advanced purchase commitments rose $6.7B in just 90 days and are up $11.6B YoY, silicon supply is secured through CY26, and it signed a strategic Nanya memory agreement. Management also announced a restructuring to reallocate resources toward AI, silicon, optics, and security.

Cisco's involvement in OpenAI's cyber program signals a collaborative relationship that could lead to new security product opportunities.
Доказательства
“We are also part of OpenAI's Trusted Access for Cyber program.”
ANTHROPIC

Chuck Robbins
Cisco's testing of Anthropic's security-focused model (Mythos) suggests it will integrate advanced AI-driven threat detection into its offerings, potentially driving demand for security upgrades.
Доказательства
“We are also participating in private testing of Anthropic's Cloud Mythos preview model, specifically designed for proactive cybersecurity defense testing.”

Chuck Robbins
Cisco secured silicon supply through calendar year 26 and is actively negotiating for CY27, while increasing inventory and advanced purchase commitments by $6.7 billion in 90 days to guarantee components. — This proactive supply chain management is a competitive advantage, allowing Cisco to meet surging demand when competitors face decommits, potentially stealing market share.
Доказательства
“In March, we announced a major expansion of our secure AI factory with NVIDIA, giving customers a framework for deploying AI across their entire infrastructure”

Cisco's strategic investment and supply agreement with Nanya provides long-term memory supply security, reducing its exposure to market volatility.
Доказательства
“You've probably seen the announcement that we made on our strategic investment in Nanya in a three-year supply agreement with them as well.”

Cisco expects gross margins to stabilize at ~66% in Q4 despite escalating memory costs, driven by tighter pricing terms (15-day notice), which gives them pricing power to pass through cost increases. — Cisco's ability to raise prices and tighten terms suggests memory suppliers have significant pricing power, a signal for the broader supply chain.
Доказательства
“And that's really helped us... about four to five points worth of acceleration was just purely based on price not incremental units”

Excluding hyperscaler orders, product orders still grew 19% y/y, with management attributing about 4-5 points of that acceleration directly to price increases rather than unit growth.
Доказательства
“if we do the math, just on the price increases, actually that we put into place, that actually accounts for about half of that acceleration, about four to five points worth of additional growth”
Cisco's AI infrastructure orders from hyperscalers are now projected to hit ~$9B in FY26, a 4.5x increase from FY25, with at least $6B in revenue recognized in FY27.
Доказательства
“it's probably reasonable to expect that we would recognize at least $6 billion of revenue in FY27.”

Cisco expects gross margins to stabilize at ~66% in Q4 despite escalating memory costs, driven by tighter pricing terms (15-day notice), which gives them pricing power to pass through cost increases.
Enterprise data center switching orders grew over 40% y/y, with orders tagged for AI deployments up 50% sequentially, showing that AI infrastructure demand is broadening beyond the hyperscalers.
