Cisco expects a decline in revenue of 4% to 6% during its fourth quarter compared to last year, which is much higher than analysts' expectations of a 1% revenue drop.

San Jose-based Cisco plans to shed its 471K SF Milpitas campus by the end of 2017. Cisco opted for early termination of its lease with Hudson Pacific in March.
