The Walt Disney Company (DIS), The Home Depot, Inc. (HD), Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO): Last Week’s Worst Performing Dow Components

Finally, the Dow’s biggest loser of the week was Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO), which lost 6.83%. Wednesday night’s earnings report met Wall Street’s expectations, but the company lowered its guidance for the remainder of the year and announced plans to reduce its workforce in response to potentially lower revenues in the coming months. The job cuts sank the stock, and my colleague Rick Munarriz asked a great question yesterday: How does the company plan to meet its objectives for business and product growth if it’s laying people off? That’s a question investors are likely to bring up in the future if Cisco Systems, Inc. (NASDAQ:CSCO) continues to miss projected growth rates.
