John Chambers Growth Quotations

We are pleased to report the 33rd consecutive quarter of revenue and earnings growth. We are especially pleased with the balanced growth rate across almost all countries in both Europe and the Americas.

We want to be the most predictable, boring growth company,

We obviously are getting to be one of the largest players in the industry, so it's hard to grow faster than that number, ... But we're very, very pleased with the last quarter results of 53 percent year-over-year. That's on the upside, so I wouldn't get too optimistic when it goes above 50 percent, just like we encouraged people two years ago, when it went below 30 percent growth for us, not to get too pessimistic.

We believe our growth rate indicates that Cisco continues to gain market share against our traditional competitors in most product sectors,

While there were a number of highlights, it was probably the U.S. that topped the highlight list with strong order growth of approximately 20 percent year over year. This is better order growth than we've experienced in the last six quarters in the U.S..

This marks the eighth consecutive quarter of year-over-year top-line growth for Cisco.

The Internet economy continues to create unprecedented growth opportunities for people, companies and countries on a global basis.

The industry growth is there, and it's there probably for the next decade. So how well we execute will determine what role we play.
