Cisco, TJX, Leidos And More: CNBC's 'Final Trades'

Jim Lebenthal of Cerity Partners picked Cisco Systems, Inc. CSCO on the latest edition of CNBC's “Halftime Report Final Trades.”

After looking at the company’s stock chart, Lebenthal noticed there is a nine-month downtrend in the stock.

The stock hit a low in June but reached a higher low a week ago. If the stock goes up 1 more percent, then we will have a “higher high,” he added.

Cisco is reportedly planning to establish a cybersecurity center in Taiwan and collaborate with the local government to expand the cybersecurity workforce. The company unveiled the initiative as part of its ongoing efforts to enhance digital security infrastructure in regions facing high cyber threat levels, reported Reuters.

Kevin Simpson of Capital Wealth Planning named The TJX Companies, Inc. TJX as his final trade.
