During the lightning round, a caller asked about Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:ANET). This is what Mad Money’s host had to say:

“Arista Networks had a better quarter this time than the previous quarter. At the same time, I will tell you, here’s what concerns me: I think Cisco did a better job this quarter and is taking some of their business. I’d rather have you go with Cisco, which is a much cheaper stock.”

Arista Networks (NYSE:ANET) develops and sells networking solutions that support data centers, cloud infrastructure, and AI systems. The company’s products include a custom operating system, network software, and support services for a wide range of industries. On May 2, Cramer said the following about Arista (NYSE:ANET):

“Arista Networks is a crucial part of the data centers, and it reports. And last time, the doubters surfaced immediately, claiming that these guys were losing share. I think Arista can put those doubts to rest when it’s, you know, honestly, they can, and that means it’s a buy ahead of the quarter. Never count out CEO Jayshree Ullal. Big mistake. Think about buying Arista.”
