JPMorgan raised its price target for Arista to $130 from $110, citing sustained momentum in cloud infrastructure spending. The firm maintained an Overweight rating, reflecting confidence in Arista’s position as a key supplier of networking solutions for AI and cloud computing. This aligns with Arista’s recent Q2 results, which showed revenue surging to $2.2 billion and net income reaching $888 million, exceeding expectations and fueling an upward revision of 2025 growth projections by 25%.

Market analysts highlighted Arista’s momentum, noting its stock has hit record highs repeatedly in recent weeks. The company’s Relative Strength rating climbed to 93, placing it in the top 7% of stocks for 52-week performance. This trajectory is attributed to strategic moves such as AI-driven product launches and expansion in the SD-WAN market, solidifying its role in the broader tech sector’s capital expenditure boom.

The backtested strategy of purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily trading volume and holding for one day from 2022 to 2025 yielded a compound annual growth rate of 6.98%. However, the approach faced a maximum drawdown of 15.46%, with a notable decline in mid-2023 underscoring the need for risk mitigation in high-volume trading strategies.
