Revenue growth stays visible
Arista reported USD 3.04 billion in revenue for the second quarter of 2026, a 37.70 percent increase from the same quarter of 2025, according to The Globe and Mail. The same report said non-GAAP operating income reached USD 1.51 billion and the non-GAAP operating margin expanded to 49.90 percent from 48.80 percent.
That combination gives the rating change a measurable counterweight: the latest reported quarter still showed double-digit revenue growth and a margin above 49.00 percent. MarketBeat also reported quarterly earnings per share of USD 1.02 against a USD 0.89 consensus estimate for the second quarter of 2026.
