In a market focused on growth with Artificial Intelligence ((A.I.)) dominating the narrative, traditional technology companies such as Cisco Systems (NASDAQ:CSCO) have been left behind. More than 2 decades ago, CSCO had a market cap of $482 billion, making it the 2nd largest company in early 2000, and Paul Weinstein of Credit Suisse First Boston said it had the potential to become the first company valued over a trillion dollars. A lot has changed since then as shares of Microsoft (MSFT) went in one direction while shares of CSCO went in another direction.
