Cisco stock in focus: CSCO heads into a March conference run after Friday rise
Cisco shares rose 1.7% to $79.46 Friday, bucking a broader market decline led by tech and financial stocks. Management will meet investors at Mobile World Congress March 3-4 and the Morgan Stanley TMT conference March 5.
