Here are the DEF 14A proxy statements from Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) in our archive over the last 12 months, newest first, and each one links through to the document itself with the summary and the scores our analysis gives it.
A DEF 14A covers the proxy statement, with executive pay and the shareholder votes, so if you follow CSCO and want that one kind of document rather than the whole filing history, this is the page to keep. The company's other filings, of every form, are on the full CSCO filings page.
Cisco Systems, Inc. (CSCO) asks stockholders to vote at its December 15, 2026 annual meeting on ten director nominees, an advisory executive-compensation resolution, auditor ratification and two stockholder proposals. The Board recommends votes FOR the nominees, executive compensation and ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as auditor for the fiscal year ending July 31, 2027, and AGAINST both stockholder proposals.
Fiscal 2026 revenue was $63.3 billion, up 12% year over year. Compensation-plan measures included profit before taxes of $21.3 billion, up 14%, and operating income of $22.0 billion, up 13%. AI infrastructure revenue from hyperscalers was approximately $4 billion, representing approximately 6% of total revenue; remaining performance obligations rose 7% to $46.7 billion. Cisco returned $12.7 billion through dividends and share repurchases, representing 99% of free cash flow, and its fiscal 2024–2026 PRSUs were earned at 130% of target.
All directors other than Chair and Chief Executive Officer Charles H. Robbins were determined independent. The executive-compensation vote is non-binding; Cisco says the Board and Compensation Committee will consider the outcome in future compensation decisions.
