Charles Robbins executed 4 separate sales totaling 19,545 shares for $1,485,395.43 on 2026-02-13 at prices ranging from $74.12 to $76.92, representing a 2.8% reduction in his 671.1K post-transaction holdings. All 5 of his prior sales at CSCO were well-timed at the 90-day mark, establishing a consistent pattern of selling ahead of downturns at this ticker. The current price of $76.85 is 11.4% below the 52-week high and 2.0% lower over the past 90 days, suggesting the most recent sales occurred near recent highs relative to medium-term weakness.

Cisco CEO Charles Robbins executes 7 scheduled sales totaling 602,432 shares for $46,971,638.22 under pre-arranged 10b5-1 plan.

Charles Robbins, Chair and CEO of Cisco Systems, Inc., executed 7 separate sales totaling 602,432 shares for $46,971,638.22 across three trading dates (November 14, 17, and 18, 2025) at an average price of $77.97. This transaction reduces his holdings from 1,306,585 shares to 704,153 shares, representing a net reduction of 46.1% of his pre-transaction holdings. Critically, this activity is governed by a pre-arranged 10b5-1 trading plan adopted on 2025-03-06, meaning the sales were scheduled and non-discretionary rather than a response to current market conditions or company developments. Investors should note the scale of the divestiture—over half a million shares—but the scheduled nature of the trades under a pre-established plan limits inferences about current executive conviction or forward guidance.

Cisco CEO Charles Robbins sold 30,557 shares for $2,036,057.35 across three transactions on 2025-08-15.

Charles Robbins, Cisco's Chair and CEO, executed 3 separate sales totaling 30,557 shares for $2,036,057.35 at a blended average price of $66.63. This represents a -4.6% reduction in his post-transaction holdings of 638,999 shares. Across his cross-ticker open-market history, Robbins' 11 prior sells averaged a 90-day return of +6.0% and a well-timed rate of 30.00%, indicating his prior sales preceded mixed subsequent stock performance. At Cisco specifically, his 4 prior measurable sales show only 1 well-timed outcome at the 90-day mark, with an average 90-day return of +7.0%—suggesting his timing at this ticker has lagged his broader portfolio. The current stock price of $66.76 is -7.0% from its 52-week high of $71.79, and Cisco's annual revenue growth stands at -5.6% against a P/E of 27.03; the broader context of declining revenues and elevated valuation provides the backdrop against which this non-routine sale by the company's top executive warrants observation.

Robbins (CSCO Chair/CEO) sold 29,784 shares at $64.61, reducing stake 4.1% to 688.4K shares; stock now at $66.06.

Robbins sold 29,784 shares at $64.61 on 2025-06-05, near the 52-week high of $66.06 but slightly below current levels, capturing a transaction value of $1,924,433.59. The sale reduces his holdings from 718.2K to 688.4K shares (a 4.1% reduction). His prior four trades at CSCO have shown mixed outcomes: three of the prior five trades saw positive 90-day returns (ranging from +0.4% to +17.3%), while two saw negative returns (-6.6% and -5.5%), yielding a 20% well-timed rate at this ticker. His broader cross-ticker track record shows 10 prior sales with a 30% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, suggesting his sales have historically occurred as stock prices rose post-sale rather than before declines. The current sale occurs at a relatively elevated point in the 52-week range with the stock up 10.9% over 30 days, though fundamentals show annual revenue declining 5.6% year-over-year despite $14.1B in latest quarterly revenue and $2.5B net income.

Robbins (CEO) sells 31,983 shares for $2.1M at $64.01–$64.81; stock up 7.2% (30d), 12.3% (90d)

Robbins Charles, Chair and CEO, filed 2 separate sales totaling 31,983 shares for $2,060,179.40, with a blended average price of $64.41. The CEO retains 736.1K shares post-transaction, a 4.2% reduction from pre-transaction holdings. His cross-ticker track record shows a 25.00% well-timed rate on 8 prior sells with an average 90-day return of +7.6%, but at CSCO specifically, only 1 of 5 prior sales achieved a favorable 90-day outcome (20% well-timed rate). The timing of this sale occurs near the 52-week high ($64.87, stock is -0.4% from peak), though the stock has appreciated 12.3% over the trailing 90 days and 7.2% in the last 30 days, suggesting momentum in the recent period. With CSCO trading at a P/E of 27.96 and facing annual revenue decline of -5.6%, the sale's placement relative to recent momentum and valuation warrants attention to whether the CEO views current levels as a window to liquidate, though the timing pattern at this ticker shows limited historical predictive power.

CEO Robbins sells 171,744 CSCO shares ($9.9M) at $57.49; stock near 52-week high, down -18.0% holdings post-sale

Robbins Charles, Chair and CEO, sold 171,744 shares of Cisco at $57.49 on 2024-11-15 for $9,872,824.06, reducing his holdings by 18.0% to 783,786 shares. The sale occurred near the 52-week high of $59.18 with the stock at +13.0% over 90 days, suggesting the timing captured strength in recent price momentum. Across his prior five sales at Cisco, only 1 of 5 was well-timed at the 90-day mark, indicating a mixed record of predicting subsequent price declines at this ticker. The company's fundamentals show -5.6% annual revenue growth and a P/E of 24.16, providing context for evaluating whether the CEO's conviction in the stock has shifted or whether this represents a routine liquidity event from his substantial remaining stake.

Cisco Chair & CEO Charles Robbins sells 27,143 shares for $1,342,088.96 (blended avg $49.45) on 2024-08-16

Charles Robbins, Cisco's Chair and CEO, executed 2 separate sales totaling 27,143 shares for $1,342,088.96 on 2024-08-16 at an average price of $49.45, reducing his holdings by 3.8% from 710,546 to 683,403 shares. The current stock price of $50.24 sits 13.1% below the 52-week high, though the stock is up 6.2% over the past 30 days. Examining his prior sales at Cisco specifically, the timing has been mixed: 2 of 4 measurable prior sales (in 2023 and earlier 2024) saw negative 90-day returns, suggesting some prior execution near peaks, while 2 others were followed by gains. His cross-ticker track record shows a 50.00% well-timed sell rate with an average 90-day return of +1.4% after sales, indicating his sales have historically been followed by modest upside—a pattern of selling before gains rather than before declines. The transaction occurs within a framework of relatively stable fundamentals (10.6% revenue growth, P/E of 16.69, net income of $1.9B), leaving the sale itself as a discrete portfolio management event without obvious external catalyst.
