Back on May 7, the price target on Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE:ANET) was increased from $175 to $181 by Piper Sandler. This yields a revised upside potential of over 17%. The firm also maintained its Overweight rating on the stock.

Piper Sandler noted that share prices had dropped during early May, following a 35% surge during April, with early post-result worries surrounding maximum growth and escalating de-commitments limiting growth. Yet, the firm views Arista to be well-exposed to inference-based use-cases since it serves hyperscalers, AI Titans, neoclouds, Edge Platforms, and large enterprises. According to Piper, the business is accelerating due to its AI exposure.
