What’s the appeal of a stock like CSCO? 23% last 5 years?

I'm guessing it's the 3+% dividend and that it's relatively low beta?

I looked at the last 5 years and its return is about 23% plus the dividend. So maybe 7% or so?

Would it be worth holding vs. VTI?

In the last 5 years it seems to bottom around $35 and top at about $60 so I suppose its a relatively low risk trading type of stock where you could add at under $40 or $40 and hold till $60 or so (or just accumulate that way) and collect dividend in mean time.

So is the appeal low beta and an ok dividend?
