Piper Sandler upgraded Arista Networks (ANET) to Overweight from Neutral with a price target of $159, up from $145. With 2026 positioned as a “Year of Refresh,” rising enterprise investment, hyperscaler and AI exposure, and a conservative setup at a reasonable valuation are improving model visibility, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Despite concerns around share shifts to whitebox and Nvidia (NVDA) and the broader capex/AI cycle, Arista appears to be holding share, gaining large enterprise customers, and benefiting from typically lagged capex trends, the firm says.
