Recent acquisition has shifted focus to AI-led networking, with networking now contributing 50% of operating profit and 30% of revenue, transforming the business profile for 2026 versus 2025.
Business will be reported in four segments: campus and branch, data center, routing, and security, with customer splits between service provider and enterprise.
$300 million of revenue was moved out of networking to corporate, anchoring 2026 networking guidance at $11 billion, representing 65%-70% growth year-on-year.
Integration of sales organizations is a major milestone, with a combined sales force going live in January and updates expected after Q1 earnings.
Data center and routing present new growth opportunities, with the ability to bid on combined server and networking deals.
Synergies, integration, and financial outlook
Cost synergies, not revenue synergies, were the basis for the acquisition, with a $600 million cost synergy target over the next few years.
Integration is progressing, with early signs of cross-platform product development and expanded go-to-market reach.
New product launches, such as QFX with liquid cooling, are positioning the company as an early innovator in data center networking.
All current expectations for EPS and revenue include prudent assumptions about integration and commodity headwinds.
A combined synergy plan of $1 billion+ is expected to drive margin improvements through 2027, with restructuring largely completed by then.
AI servers and market focus
AI server strategy is anchored on profit and cash flow, focusing on sovereign and enterprise segments, which make up over 50% of the order backlog.
Recent product launch (Helios) targets both networking and server needs for sovereign and enterprise customers.
Business is intentionally avoiding low-margin, highly competitive segments, leading to more revenue lumpiness, especially in sovereign deals.
46% of AI revenue is expected in the first half of the year, with the remainder in the back half; Q4 saw a return to 10% margin in core servers.
Maintaining a focus on cash flow and leverage, with a target to reach a 2x leverage ratio by 2027 and return 80% of cash flow to shareholders.

excellent app, it gives me free access to company earnings calls and annual reports. I also love the convenience of calls being available offline so I can listen in whilst doing other things and even when internet or WiFi isn't available.
One of the very few apps you could call perfect. If something was to add to it, maybe the share price of the company when you search for it, but it's already excellent.
This is genuinely one of the cleanest and fastest finance apps out there to track the market.
