NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Shares of Cisco Systems (CSCO) - Get Report are declining 0.56% to $30.46 in early-afternoon trading Thursday.

UBS said the stock has moved to a nine-year high and is on the verge of breaking out, which could attract momentum buyers, the Fly reports.

The firm believes strength in the stock market and Cisco's dividend yield could move shares higher.

UBS maintained its "buy" rating and $32 price target on the stock, the Fly noted.

The San Jose, CA-based company designs, manufactures and sells networking equipment.

TheStreet'sChris Versace and Bob Lang of Trifecta Stocks have identified Cisco as the "Chart of the Day." Here is what Versace and Lang had to say about the stock:

Recently, Cisco Systems broke past some very difficult levels and into prices not seen in nearly 10 years. The last time Cisco was over $30 was all the way back in 2007, before the financial crisis ensued!

We can see from this weekly chart, below, how the $29 level was a trouble spot in 2015, but these last few weeks have seen buyers coming in with some fervor. The overbought condition continues and the slope of the relative strength is steep and bullish -- levels not seen in well over a year.

Buyers are picking up the stock at each pullback, as we saw just after the Brexit vote (arrow in bottom pane).
