On August 10, Arista Networks rose 3.02% in regular trading, trading at $194.7/share, with turnover of $178 million. The move was driven by BNP Paribas raising its price target on the stock from $200 to $248 while maintaining an Outperform rating.

This marks another major institutional upgrade following Arista's Q2 earnings beat. Evercore ISI previously raised its target to $250, and Morgan Stanley lifted its target to $220 with an Overweight rating. The current FactSet analyst consensus target stands at $246.76 with a Buy rating.

Fundamentally, Arista reported Q2 revenue of $3.04 billion, up 37.7% year-over-year and significantly above the $2.818 billion estimate. Adjusted EPS came in at $1.02, beating consensus of $0.89 by 14.6%. The company also guided Q3 revenue to approximately $3.3 billion, well above the $2.95 billion consensus. UBS noted that the raised full-year growth outlook likely still understates the company's momentum, with AI-related demand appearing to have strengthened.
