SAN FRANCISCO - Cisco Systems CEO John Chambers said today that the company's latest quarterly numbers reinforce his observation that recession-dampened orders are improving after passing a "tipping point" this summer.

Net income for the world's No. 1 maker of computer-networking gear dropped 19 percent and sales fell 13 percent, but still topped Wall Street's forecasts.

The stock climbed 82 cents, or 3.5 percent, to $24.11 in extended trading today after the results were reported. In regular trading earlier, it gained 31 cents, or 1.4 percent, to close at $23.22.
