On September 11, Arista Networks rose 3.4% in regular trading, trading at approximately $195.43 per share, with turnover of $33.56 million.
On the news front, S&P Dow Jones Indices previously announced that Arista Networks will be added to the S&P 100 Index, with the change set to take effect on September 21. As the effective date approaches, index funds and ETFs tracking the S&P 100 are expected to rebalance into the new constituent, with anticipated passive fund inflows providing support for the stock. In this reshuffle, traditional companies such as Nike and Honeywell Aerospace are being removed, while all four newly added companies come from the technology sector, further tilting the S&P 100 composition toward AI infrastructure and data center networking.
Separately, multiple Wall Street firms have reiterated bullish stances on Arista Networks following its strong Q2 results, which showed revenue of $3.04 billion, up 37.7% year-over-year, and adjusted EPS of $1.02, beating the consensus estimate of $0.89 by roughly 15%. The company guided Q3 revenue to approximately $3.3 billion, well above the $2.95 billion analyst estimate. UBS noted the raised full-year outlook may still understate the company's momentum, while Evercore ISI and Morgan Stanley raised their price targets to $250 and $220, respectively.
