Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO) is a sleeper-win among AI stocks and perhaps the only AI stock income investors need to own. This bluer-than-blue blue chip tech stock has secular tailwinds to drive growth, cash flow, capital returns, dividends, distribution growth, and share buybacks to support its stock price over time.
It's an AI winner because it is critical to enterprise and web-level networks globally and fundamental to the AI-capable hardware revolution.
