Ryan Koontz has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors including Arista Networks’ impressive financial performance and strategic growth initiatives. The company reported a robust second quarter in 2025, significantly raising its guidance for the second half of the year with expected year-over-year growth increasing from approximately 10% to 22%. This strong performance was highlighted by a 49% net gross operating margin, resulting in operating profits surpassing $1 billion for the first time.
Additionally, Arista Networks is making notable progress in its AI segment, with four major AI back-end customers projected to generate $1.5 billion in AI revenues in fiscal year 2025. The acquisition of VeloCloud is expected to enhance Arista’s enterprise campus and branch portfolio, potentially boosting sales through a managed service provider channel model. These strategic moves and financial achievements have led to an increase in future earnings estimates and a price target of $155, reinforcing the Buy rating.

In another report released today, KeyBanc also maintained a Buy rating on the stock with a $145.00 price target.
