Why the gap?

At $204.49 the market is pricing Arista Networks, Inc. as if revenue grows 63.7% a year. This valuation assumes it grows 18.4% a year. That single disagreement accounts for most of the distance between the two numbers — which makes it the first thing worth auditing.

What drives the base case

All three cases →

Arista has grown revenue between 27% and 38% in every one of the last six reported quarters, and management has now raised its 2026 outlook three times to about $12.6 billion. Its Ethernet AI switch business has expanded from four or five customers in 2024 to more than 100, and a new 1.6-terabit product line goes into production in 2027, so there is a visible reason for growth to stay elevated near term. This case assumes that momentum carries into 2027 and then fades naturally as the revenue base approaches $20 billion and the law of large numbers takes over. Profitability holds near recent levels, with slightly lower product margins on big cloud deals offset by spreading fixed costs over far more revenue.
