Cisco stock today: CSCO slips on ex-dividend day as Wall Street braces for jobs data
NEW YORK, Jan 2, 2026, 21:07 ET — Market closed Cisco Systems, Inc. shares fell on Friday, ending the first trading day of 2026 down about 1.3% at $76.04. The move matters now because investors are heading into the first full trading week of the year with a heavy slate of U.S. economic data and the start of quarterly earnings season. Those catalysts can reset interest-rate expectations and risk appetite, which often ripple through large-cap tech. Reuters Cisco also traded ex-dividend on Friday — the date when new buyers no longer qualify for the next dividend payment. Nasdaq U.S. stocks
