Arista Networks stock was trading at USD 210.54 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026, down 2.24 percent from the previous close and 2.56 percent below its 52-week high of USD 216.07. The company has scheduled its third-quarter results for November 3, 2026, giving the recent rally a concrete earnings checkpoint.

November 3 sets the next test

According to Arista Networks in its October 6, 2026 release, the company will report results for the quarter ended September 30, 2026, after U.S. markets close on November 3. Management will discuss the figures during a conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET.

The date matters because the latest reported quarter already crossed a symbolic threshold. Yahoo Finance reported that Q2 revenue reached USD 3.0357 billion for the period ended June 30, 2026, up 37.7 percent year over year and above guidance of USD 2.8 billion.

Growth comes with a high bar

The Q2 earnings transcript also put operating scale into sharper view. Arista posted USD 1.02 in diluted EPS, compared with USD 0.73 in the prior year, while operating income reached USD 1.5 billion, or 49.9 percent of revenue, for the quarter ended June 30, 2026.

Management raised its fiscal 2026 revenue outlook to USD 12.6 billion, representing 40 percent annual growth, and set an AI Fabrics revenue goal of at least USD 3.5 billion. The same outlook calls for Q3 revenue of USD 3.3 billion and diluted EPS of USD 1.06 to USD 1.08, so the November report will show whether demand is converting into the higher forecast.

Analyst target stays above the quote

According to MarketBeat on October 6, 2026, 23 analysts covered the stock with a consensus Buy rating: two Strong Buy ratings and 21 Buy ratings. The average target of USD 231.70 lies 10.05 percent above the October 7 price of USD 210.54.

That premium leaves execution as the central issue. TradingView reported on October 6, 2026, that Bernstein initiated coverage with an Outperform rating and a USD 250 price target, while also identifying customer overbuilding as a risk to the AI networking thesis.

Stock remains near its yearly high

Arista Networks stock was last at USD 210.54 on the NYSE at 10:07 a.m. ET on October 7, 2026. Its market capitalization was USD 265.1 billion and volume was 801,060 shares at that time, keeping the November results date as the next company-specific checkpoint.
