Major U.S. stock-indexes lower on Friday after Cisco's disappointing forecast and as weaker-than-expected October retail sales data and forecast cuts by department store chains fueled fears of a slowdown in demand ahead of the key holiday shopping season.
Cisco (CSCO) fell 6.5% to $26.27 after it gave a weak forecast, citing a slowdown in order growth and weak spending outside the United States. The stock was the second-biggest drag on the S&P and the Nasdaq.
Data showed U.S. retail sales rose less than expected in October, suggesting a slowdown in consumer spending that could temper expectations of a strong pickup in fourth-quarter economic growth.
