Growth

Cisco Sys Inc's revenue grew 5.3% year-over-year to $56.7B, a solid pace of expansion. This earns a growth score of 42/100.

Leverage

Cisco Sys Inc carries a low D/E ratio of 0.46, meaning only $0.46 of long-term debt for every $1 of shareholders' equity. This conservative leverage earns a score of 93/100, indicating a strong balance sheet with room for future borrowing.

Liquidity

Cisco Sys Inc's current ratio of 0.93 means current assets barely cover short-term liabilities. This tight liquidity results in a low score of 13/100, which could limit financial flexibility.
