Cisco Systems Inc. (NASDAQ: CSCO) reported revenue of $14.7 billion for the fourth quarter ended July 26, 2025, an increase of 8 percent from a year earlier, driven by growth in product orders across all geographies. Net income under generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) was $2.8 billion, or $0.71 per share, while non-GAAP net income was $4.0 billion, or $0.99 per share.

In a statement, the company said fourth-quarter product orders rose 7 percent year-on-year, with AI infrastructure orders from webscale customers exceeding $800 million in the quarter and bringing the full-year total to more than $2 billion, over double the original $1 billion target. Gross margin for the quarter was 65.7 percent on a GAAP basis and 68.4 percent on a non-GAAP basis, both at the high end of guidance.
