Presidente da Cisco diz que clientes estão mais «cautelosos»; acções caem 6,6%

11/08/2004 12:22

Apesar de lucros Presidente da Cisco diz que clientes estão mais «cautelosos»; acções caem 6,6%
As acções da Cisco caíram um máximo de 6,6% na Europa, depois do presidente executivo, John Chambers, ter ontem dito que os clientes estão «mais cautelosos» com a economia, dia em que a empresa divulgou também que os lucros aumentaram 41% para o valor recorde de 1,38 mil milhões de dólares (1,12 mil milhões de euros) no quarto trimestre fiscal que termina em Junho.

Em entrevista à Bloomberg, John Chambers disse que a empresa espera um crescimento económico «mais modesto» do que o registado nos três meses anteriores.

Para além disso o mesmo responsável explicou que «a maior parte dos presidentes executivos estão mais cautelosos em relação ao seu optimismo e passaram a referir-se a â¿¿crescimento moderadoâ¿¿».

Estas declarações foram proferidas depois da maior fabricante de equipamentos para computadores ter divulgado ontem que os lucros aumentaram 41% para o valor recorde de 1,38 mil milhões de dólares (1,12 mil milhões de euros) e que as vendas avançaram 26%. Os inventários cresceram 39%.

Os dados económicos dos Estados Unidos da América, nomeadamente os divulgados sexta-feira que revelaram que a economia criou menos postos de trabalho em Julho, potenciaram um «conservadorismo normal», disse o presidente executivo.

A Reserva Federal dos Estados Unidos da América (Fed) decidiu ontem aumentar a sua taxa de juro de referência em 25 pontos base para 1,5% â¿¿ o valor mais elevado desde o início de Novembro de 2002 â¿¿ e reiterou o propósito de continuar a subir os juros a um ritmo «moderado», de forma a controlar a inflação sem afectar o crescimento.

Ontem, a Cisco explicou que as vendas vão crescer este trimestre a um ritmo mais lento do que no anterior. As receitas do primeiro trimestre fiscal vão avançar entre 16% e 18% face a igual período do ano anterior, disse o director financeiro da empresa, Dennis Powell aos analistas consultados pela Bloomberg.

As acções da Cisco seguiam a cair 4,65% para os 15,60 euros.

Essa referida queda de 5% foi pico momentaneo em after por existirem poucas ordens em cofre, embora tenha recuperado boa parte dessa perca , assim que começaram a entrar ordens.

Cisco – Anunciou EPS de $0.21, um cêntimo acima do esperado, com receitas de €5.93bn,
ligeiramente acima do consenso de $5.89bn. No entanto as acções caíram 5.2% no after hours ,
devido a preocupações quanto aos inventários e comentários sobre alguma prudência por parte
dos clientes.

Pelo que ja vi dos resultados , as vendas subiram ligeiramente, as receitas tambem , somente o cash desceu devido as aquisiçoes que a empresa tem andado a fazer , no entanto essa descida é de expressao minima.

IP-based Technologies Help Non-Surgeons Deliver
Medical Care in Extreme Environments

Delivering telerobotics-assisted medical procedures by sea -- and then applying them to space and other harsh environments -- is an important goal of a 10-day underwater NASA Extreme Environment Mission Operations (NEEMO) 7 Mission. Cisco Systems, Inc. (Nasdaq:CSCO) announced today that it will be providing the secure networking technologies to help enable this remote-care mission.

The NEEMO 7 mission, to be conducted October 11-21, 2004 off the coast of Key Largo, Florida, will focus on the demonstration and evaluation of innovative remote-care surgical technologies and techniques in an underwater environment, where extreme conditions are similar to those found in space. The mission allows the crew to test these techniques in an extreme environment and determine the viability of non-surgeons delivering emergency diagnostic and medical care.

"The NEEMO 7 mission demonstrates the applicability of Internet Protocol (IP)-based technologies in delivering mission-critical services and applications, such as telemedicine and tele-surgery, which are helping to transform healthcare today," said Jane Eisenberg, director of enterprise marketing for Cisco. "This project highlights how a secure, reliable and responsive network, such as a Medical-Grade Network empowered by Cisco technologies, can provide the backbone for the adoption of advanced medical procedures."

Advanced Internet technologies continue to play an increasingly important role in enabling the delivery of remote medical services. Virtual Private Networks (VPNs), based on Multiprotocol Label Switching (MPLS) technology from Cisco, have helped to enable the successful telerobotic surgeries of the NEEMO missions. MPLS brings new levels of intelligence to IP networks by combining the intelligence of routing with the performance of switching to dramatically simplify the deployment, management, scalability and flexibility of VPNs. Mission-critical applications, such as telemedicine, place new Quality of Service (QoS) and redundancy demands on IP networks. Highly secure, MPLS-based VPNs ensure performance over different classes of service, allow connection over different media, and meet the transport and bandwidth requirements, where lives hold in the balance.

Cisco today joined the other NEEMO 7 Mission agencies -- the Centre for Minimal Access Surgery (CMAS) at McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario; the Canadian Space Agency; and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) -- in announcing the crew and the mission at a press conference held at the Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum, located in Mt. Hope, Ontario (see related NEEMO 7 Mission releases issued today by visiting http://www.space.gc.ca/asc/eng/media/pr ... s_room.asp and www.nasa.gov).

Caro:
A inversão da cisco no dia 28 precisa ainda de ser confirmado .Por quem por ela própria e pelo nasdaq.
Neste momento os bears empurram O nasdaq através dos semicondutotes.Mas um sector não faz o mercado.
Pelas outras médias em especial S&P 500 terminou para já.
Os bears acham que é a 3ª da 3ª pelo que para eles os bancos vão falência e o Indu vai apagar 5.000 pontos.e atacam no ponto que lhes tem dado dinheiro os semicondutores.Como este sector tem um peso grande no Nasdaq a coisa anda para baixo.Mas vão ter de desistir e quando cobrirem as posições o pulo vai ser grande.
Vamos a guardar

"As an easy method of payment for Cisco authorized training, Cisco Learning Credits enable customers to achieve the knowledge and skills necessary for optimizing productivity and network performance."

The Cisco Learning Credits Program, in conjunction with the Learning Credits Management Tool (LCMT), provides customers with an unrivaled ability to register, debit, manage and track the purchased Cisco Learning Credits. The LCMT tracks all account transactions, validates redemptions and automatically e-mails transaction confirmations along with monthly statements of activity and expiration status. Each Cisco Learning Credit can be exchanged for $100 USD of high-quality authorized training, delivered by participating Cisco Learning Solutions Partners worldwide. Cisco Learning Credits are valid for one year from purchase date and may be applied toward instructor-led training courses, e-learning, labs, simulations and customized education programs. Cisco Learning Credits are also available to Cisco Channel Partners for resale and for their own training needs.

"A trained, skilled IT staff is able to gain the most value out of the purchase of new equipment," said Robert Singleton, vice president, Customer Advocacy, Americas International at Cisco. "The Cisco Learning Credits Program enables our customers to define their network and training needs concurrently to achieve the knowledge and skills necessary for optimizing productivity and maximizing return on investment."

Cisco Learning Credits are immediately available for purchase in Americas International in Canada, Mexico, Costa Rica, Puerto Rico and Panama. In Asia Pacific, Cisco Learning Credits are currently available in Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Korea, India, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Malaysia. The launch schedule for additional countries in Americas International and Asia Pacific will be announced shortly.
