A poor earnings report and forecast from Cisco led stocks down today, the Wall Street Journal writes. The networking giant, considered an indicator of the tech sector’s general health, noted a 17% drop in revenue, and projected bigger losses for next quarter. The Dow closed down 102.43 at 8,409.85. The Nasdaq lost 42.86 to close at 1,716.24, and the S&P 500 dropped 12.14, settling at 907.39. (More Dow Jones stories.)
