BARGAIN GROWTH: Cisco Systems
Ticker: CSCO
Market cap (billions): $152.2
PEG ratio: 1.3
Earnings growth*: 14%
Debt/equity ratio: 0.19
The Silicon Valley tech giant is the leader in communications and networking equipment. Cisco should take advantage as more people in emerging markets turn to the Web - especially with the increasing popularity of video streaming. And widely respected CEO John Chambers, who has already scooped up Scientific-Atlanta and WebEx, will probably keep Cisco growing with successful acquisitions.
Luckily for us, the price of Cisco Systems, once a tech stock highflier that was far too expensive for us to recommend, has finally come down to earth. Shares now trade at a PEG ratio - the price-to-earnings ratio divided by the long-term projected earnings growth rate - of 1.3. That's a bargain for a blue chip like Cisco.
