Will they? Or will they use to just do more buybacks? I'm not sure I trust any company to refocus after layoffs when they practically just announced a huge temporary gift to shareholders.

- m52go 10y agoGood point. But even buybacks are taking that cash somewhere...it's the market's way of reallocating capital to a place it can be more productive. It's hard to picture, since that cash is going from one entity (CSCO) to a lot of different entities (the market), but obviously CSCO thinks the market can make better use of that capital than it can. The only thing that could be worse than what they're doing, in my view, is if they fired all these people and sat on their cash, AAPL-style.
