On June 30, Arista Networks rose 3.07% in regular trading, trading at approximately $169.02/share, with turnover of $112 million. The gain extends the technical rebound that began on June 29 following a 4.74% plunge on June 26, when the broader communication equipment sector came under broad selling pressure.
On the news front, multiple investment banks have recently raised their price targets on the stock. KeyBanc lifted its target from $178 to $200, maintaining an Overweight rating; Morgan Stanley raised its target to $190; Evercore maintained a $200 target while issuing a $300 bull-case scenario; and BNP Paribas raised its target from $175 to $200. The FactSet consensus average target stands at $190.30, implying approximately 12.6% upside from the current price, providing valuation support for the ongoing recovery.
Separately, Arista board member Andreas Bechtolsheim sold 220,000 shares in late May through family trusts, a factor investors continue to monitor as a potential overhang.
