Key Points
Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) has seen its stock rally over 953% in the past five years, making it a notable player in the growing artificial intelligence (AI) market. The company primarily offers networking hardware and software to cloud giants like Microsoft and Meta Platforms.
From 2020 to 2024, Arista’s revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 32%. However, recent growth has slowed; its revenue composition from Meta decreased from 26% in 2022 to an estimated 15% in 2024. Analysts predict that from 2024 to 2027, revenue and earnings per share (EPS) will grow at CAGRs of 22% and 21%, respectively. Despite strong growth, challenges such as competition and fluctuating customer spending could impact future performance.
As of 2023, Arista’s revenue growth was 33.8%, with an adjusted gross margin of 62.6%. The company is trading at 45 times next year’s earnings, compared to 22 times for its main competitor, Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO), which may indicate that much of the anticipated growth is already priced in.
