Arista Networks (ANET) stock soared by 5.28% on Thursday, driven by the positive implications of Nvidia's strong results and guidance for the networking company.
According to Evercore ISI analysts, Nvidia's (NVDA) impressive performance and positive outlook have far-reaching implications for a number of companies, including Arista Networks. The analysts highlighted several key factors contributing to Arista's potential gains:
- Nvidia's ramping up of Blackwell GPU shipments and exceeding Q4 shipment expectations is a positive read-through for Arista's suppliers, such as Vertiv (VRT) and Amphenol (APH).
- The sustained demand for Nvidia's Hopper GPUs alleviates concerns about a potential slowdown as the company transitions to its Blackwell line, benefiting companies like Dell (DELL) and HPE (HPE).
- Arista Networks is likely to benefit from increased back-end Ethernet spending, fueled by Nvidia's strong Ethernet-based product performance and the "rising tide lifts all boats" scenario.
