This summary was created by AI, based on 14 opinions in the last 12 months.

Arista Networks (ANET) has recently faced a notable decline in its stock price, primarily attributed to supply chain challenges that prevent the company from fully capitalizing on strong demand. Despite reporting impressive growth in earnings and sales, the company's inability to raise its full-year guidance has raised concerns among investors, leading to stock decreases of around 16% after its latest earnings report. Analysts remain cautiously optimistic, noting the company's significant role in data center networking and its participation in the AI sector, which could foster long-term growth. Investors are advised to consider potential buying opportunities during this pullback, but some experts caution about the valuation, given its high P/E ratio. Overall, the stock presents a mixed outlook with solid demand but ongoing supply constraints and market volatility.

CSCO
BUY

They reported a healthy top and bottom line beat in Q4 and raised its full-year forecast. Shares popped at first, then gave up all those gains.

PARTIAL BUY

Competitor to CSCO. Carved out a nice niche on proprietary product on the networking side, working around the ethernet. He bought some more this morning. Price target is only $112. Buy in thirds here around $106, $101, and $95-96.

ANET remains a strong operator and is expected to grow the top line in excess of 15% over the next three years with EPS in a similar trajectory. They should continue to benefit from AI growth in general and given the growth runway, at 34X forward earnings, we think it looks fine after the recent weakness shares have seen.

BUY

It reports Tuesday. It's crucial to data centres. Last time, doubters claimed their were losing share. But he expects a better quarter. Would buy ahead of the quarter. Never count out the CEO.

BUY

Fallen off a lot, but so have similar companies like CLS and DELL. If he's correct that the tariff issue will settle down over the next couple of months, this is a great place to buy. 12-month price target of $138. Cyclical. Hardware side is very leveraged, so susceptible to interest rate moves.

BUY ON WEAKNESS

Likes the CEO. Shares have fallen too far. Would buy here at $70.

COMMENT

They didn't guide high enough. Meta is no longer 20% of their business, but 15% while Microsoft and Oracle make up more of their business.

DON'T BUY

Guidance in this earnings season has not been good, and it can't be when you're unsure what the effect of tariffs will be. ANET's guide came in a little short, not 15-17% revenue growth as expected. The stock is breaking down, below its 100-day moving average. These names are relying on price momentum until they hit an earnings event.

BUY

A great CEO and a smokin' hot business.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Jan 18/24, Up 57%)At all-time highs.

Loves it. Getting closer to the upper range of the channel, but nothing to worry about. He clipped some profits, which he often does when a stock's really volatile -- it's more like housekeeping, tending the portfolio garden and being a good steward of your assets.

For new buyers, over the next month he'd look for a spot to add.

COMMENT

He was asked to compare Nvidia and Arista. He feels Nvidia has 3 to 5 years more growth and even though it is getting a little expensive he would hold. Arista is one of the networks to move all the AI information and is a consistent grower with a good future.

BUY

A fine CEO here. Trades at a high PE, but they make a lot of money.

BUY

Largest holding in his momentum portfolio. Almost made it a Top Pick today. Not deterred by the chart's steep incline. Acceleration of AI adoption will have trickle-down effects. Earnings are growing quickly, estimates are rising, stock price is going up and to the right. Good things ahead. High conviction holding. Given growth prospects, undemanding valuation of less than 30x. PEG ratio is pretty modest.

STRONG BUY

A great company that's impervious to rate hikes. They pay down their debt which is 3% of overall annual cash flow. They reduced debt by 20% last year. 23% revenue growth in the past year.

BUY

He just bought this. They beat top and bottom lines, and raised guidance. They've done this the past 10 of 11 quarters. They focus on enterprise clients as opposed to the consumer. They do business with Microsoft and Meta. 55% revenue growth last quarter and 72% EPS growth.
