Aktie im Blick: Der Herr der Netze führt den Dow an

A quarter-century ago in Europe, the star of the internet boom was Nokia, known for its indestructible mobile phones. The Düsseldorf Handelsblatt magazine featured the Finnish telecommunications giant a week ago. In the US Dow Jones index, Cisco Systems stands out as the most successful stock in the last twelve months, with a 70% price increase.

The California-based network equipment provider is one of the most well-known companies from the dotcom era: Shortly after the turn of the millennium, the company's market value was nearly half a trillion dollars, surpassing Microsoft as the world's most valuable firm. In March 2000, the stock price soared to $80 before plummeting more than 90% after the Dotcom bubble burst.

Despite this, Cisco has maintained its dominant market position throughout the years, earning the title of "Master of the Networks" in the internet world. The company's switches, switches, and routers that connect devices and networks globally have remained the world's leading provider since the past quarter-century.
