On August 7, Arista Networks rose 3.21% in pre-market trading, trading at $198.2 per share, with turnover of $4.5143 million. The rebound follows a roughly 3.3% pullback in the prior session triggered by CEO Jayshree Ullal's Form 144 filing to sell approximately 1.1 million shares worth $221 million, combined with profit-taking after an 11%-plus post-earnings surge.
Multiple institutions raised their price targets following the strong Q2 report: Evercore ISI lifted its target from $200 to $250, while Morgan Stanley raised its target from $190 to $220 and maintained an Overweight rating. Q2 adjusted EPS of $1.02 beat consensus of $0.89 by 14.6%, and revenue of $3.036 billion exceeded the $2.818 billion estimate, representing approximately 38% year-over-year growth. Q3 revenue guidance of approximately $3.3 billion significantly surpassed the Street's $2.94 billion consensus, providing fundamental support for the recovery as capital re-entered positions following the prior session's technical retreat.
