Timeframe

Short-term (0–3 months)

Arista is a way to invest in the networks that let AI run at scale, and the stock has pulled back to a range we like. Management expects AI-related sales to rise from $1.5B in 2025 to $2.75B in 2026, supporting steady growth. Price signs hint at a possible turn, with the recent average price trending up, but our usual momentum check is still negative. Start small now and add if that signal turns positive over the next quarter.

Primary drivers

AI networking demand likely climbs into 2026, lifting revenue.
Stock looks beaten down while the recent average price is rising.
Investor mood is solid, but shares trade at a rich price tag.
Add only after our momentum signal turns clearly positive.

How it played out

ANET: target was not reached

Lyra published ANET at $149.66 on 2025-10-23 with a 26% expected gain and a $188.57 target. The thesis pointed to artificial intelligence networking demand into 2026, management's view that related sales could rise from $1.5B in 2025 to $2.75B in 2026, a pullback into the $147 to $151 range, and improving recent average price action while momentum was still negative.

Inside the window, ANET peaked at $164.94 on 2025-10-30, up 10.2%. It stayed below the $188.57 target. By 2026-01-21, it ended at $127.29. The thesis partially played out on the early move, but it missed the published target.
