ANET: AI Networking Ecosystem Will Support Future Upside Despite Margin Concerns

Analysts have lifted their fair value estimate for Arista Networks from $130.00 to about $193.28, reflecting updated assumptions around slightly higher discount rates, modestly softer margin expectations, and ongoing AI driven growth potential despite recent debates on valuation and rating changes. Analyst Commentary Recent research highlights a mix of enthusiasm and caution around Arista Networks, with bullish analysts focused on the company’s role in AI networking and more conservative views pointing to valuation and margin pressures.

AMZN: AI Infrastructure Deals And Advertising Scale Will Drive Future Upside

Narrative Update on Amazon.com Analysts have inched their blended price expectations for Amazon.com slightly lower, with the modeled fair value moving by about $0.02 to roughly $295.51 as they balance reduced price targets from firms like Cantor Fitzgerald and Wolfe Research against optimism around AI driven AWS deals, advertising growth, and ongoing capital investment in cloud infrastructure. Analyst Commentary Recent research on Amazon.com reflects a mix of enthusiasm around AI driven cloud demand, advertising and retail execution, alongside fresh questions about the returns on heavy capital spending and the sustainability of current valuations.
