We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.

Throughout November 2024, several of us are taking part in the 30-Day Dow Jones Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we explore the history or learn about a company within the DJIA—a key economic and stock market indicator. Today’s post is on CISCO.

Leonard Bosack and Sandy Lerner, a husband-and-wife team from Stanford University formed CISCO in 1984. There primary innovation was the creation of the router which led to proliferation and expansion of the internet. Cisco Systems (CSCO) joined the Dow Jones Industrial Average (DJIA) on June 8, 2009, and it replaced General Motors. When it became part of the Dow its stock was trading around $13.00 a share.

Core revenue drivers for the company in 2024 include enterprise network switches, routers, and security solutions.
