Experts have mixed opinions on Arista Networks, Inc. (ANET-N). While one reviewer appreciates the company's strong leadership and robust business outlook, others are concerned about recent guidance, noting that revenue growth is expected to come in lower than anticipated. The company's dependency on major clients like Microsoft and Oracle is highlighted, as changes in revenue contribution from Meta could influence future performance. Additionally, current market dynamics, including uncertainty surrounding tariffs, may impact investor sentiment. Nonetheless, there are positive sentiments regarding Arista's role in facilitating AI advancements, positioning it as a consistent grower despite its recent price fluctuations.

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.

BUY
Still a lot of time to get into this. $180 was a level, but he sees it hitting $250.
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 05/18, Up 0.5%) Got stopped out in the summer of last year. They are in the switching market. CISCO is their biggest competitor. He owns CISCO that is a less volatile name.
TOP PICK
A switching networking company. Data centre switching. Tremendous revenue going forward. Delivering 23% or better on revenue growth, which he sees going into 2020-21. Price target of $360. No dividend. (Analysts’ price target is $291.37)
PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick Apr 05/18, Up 19%) They target the data center like Cisco. He got stopped out in the downdraft in September. He made quite some money with it in the last couple of years. Goldman Sachs just recently added them to the conviction buy list saying that they are growing at a much faster rate than any of their competitors.
BUY ON WEAKNESS

He owned it from $70 to $150, then re-bought and re-sold it. His target price was $280, so he will buy it south of $240.

DON'T BUY

He has owned it in the past, but not now since it plateaued. His price target is $233. Management is made up of the old guard from Cisco. He thinks there are better choices out there.
