Cisco stock could be a big artificial intelligence winner. Cisco said it has taken $5.3 billion of artificial-intelligence infrastructure orders from hyperscalers so far this fiscal year and raised its full-year expectations to orders of $9 billion, up from $5 billion. “Massive déjà vu here from 1990s—but it actually could be just beginning for Cisco as their investments in silicon and optics pay off,” Melius Research analyst Ben Reitzes wrote in a note late Wednesday.

Cisco, Intel, and Corning Are Hitting New Highs. Is a 2000-Style Crash Next?
The dot-com bubble began to burst in the spring of 2000, when presidential candidates George Bush and Al Gore emerged from their party conventions, the human genome project unveiled its first draft, and ‘American Beauty’ dominated the Oscars with five awards, including best picture. More than a quarter-century later, however, those same three stocks are leading an old-tech revival that has powered U.S. markets to a series of record highs, paced by an insatiable appetite for all things related to artificial intelligence. Investors are seeing few signs of a pullback like the one during the turn of the century crash that rocked tech markets for a decade.
