Arista Networks’ Huge AI Sales, Upcoming Earnings Lift Shares

ANET’s programmable cloud networking hardware and low-latency switch solutions help many of the world’s largest hyperscalers operate their AI and other networks. The company’s first-quarter fiscal 2026 report showed $2.71 billion in quarterly revenue (up 35.1% year-over-year), diluted per-share earnings of $0.87 (a 31.8% gain), and raised 2026 revenue guidance to $11.5 billion (representing 27.7% annual growth), with $3.5 billion coming from AI (more than double the prior year). The company reports again on Aug. 4.

No wonder ANET shares are up 21% so far this year – and they could rise more. MoneyFlows data shows how Big Money investors are again betting heavily on the stock.
