    Undervalue with this 15 year graph



    Also undervalue with this 4 year graph.


    Here you see that the yield is getting up there. It's at its highest in 3 years.

    Trade - Buy

    I open a new position with Cisco System Inc. (CSCO)

    29 shares @ 21.84 on 2-13-2014

    This will increase my forward 12-month dividend by 22.04 to a total of $1,210.80

    I updated my Portfolio to reflect the change.


    As you can see Cisco for the most part of this 15 year graph has been overvalue. Just recently it started to trade under the orange line. Cisco has a Debt/Cap of 16% which is great. It also has a dividend payout ratio of 46% which is great as well.




    Here is a 4 year graph and it shows how undervalue Cisco is right now.



    Here we have a chart that shows future estimate earnings.



    One of my concern is that Cisco just recently started paying out dividends in 2011. As you can see Cisco has been raising its dividends. Cisco just raised its dividends from .17 a share to .19 a share. This is a increase of 11.7%. Since they have a low payout ratio, I see more dividend increases in the future.



    Here we have a chart showing the last 5 year of price and dividends. As you see the dividends keeps on rising. This chart does not account the new 11.7% raise that came out today. This tells me that Cisco is undervalue.





    Morningstar (4 star out of 5) Fair value of $26.00
    S&P Capital IQ (3 star out of 5) Fair Value of $28.20


    What do you think of Cisco? Do you own shares or plan to?
