The tech world in 2025 is set to be defined by resilience, consolidation, and the unstoppable rise <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">of Edge AI</a>. 
JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee has unveiled his top predictions for hardware and networking in 2025, and it's clear: the year will be all about resilience, edge AI, and a few surprising twists. Here's what investors need to know.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Apple, Edge AI: 2 Hot Tickets For 2025</h2>
Chatterjee is betting on Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) to flex its muscles. He sees iPhone 17 hype and the rise of Edge AI keeping investors hooked. Forget the valuation debates—AI integration in smartphones and PCs could make Apple untouchable for much of the year.
While hyperscalers may grapple with AI scaling debates, Edge AI will steal the spotlight. By December, expect it to solidify as the darling of the tech world, powering smarter gadgets and keeping investors excited well into 2026.
AI's ROI remains focused on cost-cutting rather than driving revenue gains. Enterprises will stick to the basics, leveraging AI for leaner operations rather than headline-grabbing revenue boosts, the analyst said.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cloud Wars Favor Hardware</h2>
The long-running tug-of-war between on-premise and cloud infrastructure tilts toward hardware in 2025. According to Chatterjee, companies like Dell Technologies Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NASDAQ">DELL</a>) and Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) could shrug off fears of cloud dominance as enterprises reconsider the cloud's ROI for AI workloads.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">AI Stocks: A Rollercoaster Ride</h2>
It won't be smooth sailing for AI-leveraged players like Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>), per Chatterjee. Early-year uncertainty will weigh on shares until mid-year earnings provide clarity. 
Investors will wait for the likes of Nvidia Corp's (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) Blackwell and 800G Ethernet switching to gain traction.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Squeeze, Cyclicality To Spark M&amp;A Frenzy</h2>
Premium valuations across the hardware sector will narrow the gap between winners and laggards, says Chatterjee. The year's theme? Find value in the underdogs or wait for M&amp;A opportunities to unlock hidden potential.
As Telco, enterprise, and cable players gear up for a cyclical rebound, consolidation could heat up. Chatterjee predicts stronger players will snap up rivals to amplify recovery gains and slash costs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Contract Manufacturers: The New Favorites</h2>
Historically overshadowed by OEMs, contract manufacturers are ready to shine. Lower risks, better margins, and ties to AI infrastructure projects could make them 2025's surprise winners.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariff Troubles Overblown</h2>
Worried about tariffs? Don't be. Chatterjee expects years of supply chain investments to shield companies from the worst, leaving doomsayers scratching their heads as stocks rise.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">EV, AV: Hype Fatigue Sets In</h2>
Electric and autonomous vehicles will face another year of growing pains. With U.S. EV subsidies on shaky ground and slower progress in autonomous tech, optimism might fizzle—except for robotaxis, which could gain traction in tightly controlled spaces, says Chatterjee.
JPMorgan's vision for 2025 is clear: edge AI is the growth engine, Apple stays unstoppable, and consolidation could define the year. For investors, it's a roadmap to navigate the tech sector's next big moves.

Tech Predictions 2025: Apple's Edge AI Drive, M&A Heat, Cloud Hardware Shift

Arista Networks's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) short percent of float has risen 388.89% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 13.63 million shares sold short, which is 1.32% of all regular shares that are available for trading.

<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Arista Networks has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Arista Networks's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Arista Networks's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 7.10%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

Smart Money Is Betting Big In ANET Options

In the current session, the stock is trading at $113.82, after a 0.65% spike. Over the past month, Arista Networks Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) stock increased by 11.50%, and in the past year, by 91.51%. With performance like this, long-term shareholders are optimistic but others are more likely to look into the price-to-earnings ratio to see if the stock might be overvalued.

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735056007_0.png" alt="Past Year Chart" />

<h3>Comparing Arista Networks P/E Against Its Peers</h3>
The P/E ratio measures the current share price to the company's EPS. It is used by long-term investors to analyze the company's current performance against it's past earnings, historical data and aggregate market data for the industry or the indices, such as S&amp;P 500. A higher P/E indicates that investors expect the company to perform better in the future, and the stock is probably overvalued, but not necessarily. It also could indicate that investors are willing to pay a higher share price currently, because they expect the company to perform better in the upcoming quarters. This leads investors to also remain optimistic about rising dividends in the future. 
Arista Networks has a better P/E ratio of 54.3 than the aggregate P/E ratio of 49.32 of the Communications Equipment industry. Ideally, one might believe that Arista Networks Inc. might perform better in the future than it's industry group, but it's probable that the stock is overvalued. 

<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1735056007_1.png" alt="Guage" />

In summary, while the price-to-earnings ratio is a valuable tool for investors to evaluate a company's market performance, it should be used with caution. A low P/E ratio can be an indication of undervaluation, but it can also suggest weak growth prospects or financial instability. Moreover, the P/E ratio is just one of many metrics that investors should consider when making investment decisions, and it should be evaluated alongside other financial ratios, industry trends, and qualitative factors. By taking a comprehensive approach to analyzing a company's financial health, investors can make well-informed decisions that are more likely to lead to successful outcomes.

Morgan Stanley Maintains Overweight on Arista Networks, Raises Price Target to $118

As the tech sector pivots from <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/artificial-intelligence">AI-fueled growth</a> to a broader market recovery, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee highlights a cyclical rebound powering upside for traditional IT infrastructure and industrial tech.
Top picks like Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>), Corning Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLW#NYSE">GLW</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) are set to ride the next cyclical upswing from recovering demand in servers, telecom, and industrial markets. 
At the same time, the analyst says Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>), Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Amphenol Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>) stand to gain from networking and multi-sector recoveries.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Why These Three?</h2>
Chatterjee's strategy banks on recovery beyond AI-driven hype. 
<ul>
<li>The resurgence of traditional IT infrastructure demand should position Dell for long-term growth. Infrastructure investments and enterprise upgrades are expected to spearhead Dell's upside.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Corning brings its diversified industrial tech portfolio to the table. With AI-driven telecom growth and a revival in optical and display markets, Corning is poised to shine as end-market recoveries take center stage.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>Coherent, a player in the optical sector, rounds out the trio with its diversified revenue streams. Chatterjee points to margin-expansion opportunities and AI-related synergies as key drivers for this pick, particularly as the company works through inventory digestion challenges.</li>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">A Broader Tailwind Beyond AI &#8211; Arista, Cisco, Amphenol</h2>
The report underscores a robust cyclical resurgence in critical hardware and networking sectors. After experiencing downturns in late 2023 and early 2024, traditional IT infrastructure markets—encompassing servers, storage, and enterprise networking—are showing signs of substantial recovery. The analyst says companies like Arista Networks, Cisco, and Amphenol are strategically positioned to capitalize on these emerging networking opportunities and multi-market rebounds.
The PC market, for example, is expected to shift gears in 2025, with enterprise/commercial refreshes driving mid-single-digit growth. Similarly, the smartphone market, already seeing modest growth in 2024, is forecasted to accelerate next year, boosted by subsidies in China.
On the networking front, datacenter switches and wireless LANs are primed for the most substantial rebounds in 2025, reflecting enterprises' push toward datacenter investments. 
This sets the stage for Arista and Cisco, both benefiting from secular shifts in cloud and AI-driven networking.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Dell, Corning, Coherent Lead The Charge</h2>
JPMorgan's call for a cyclical rebound beyond AI hype highlights a return to fundamentals, with Dell, Corning, and Coherent leading the charge. 
With broader end markets poised for recovery, these names stand out as key beneficiaries in the next phase of tech and industrial growth.
Investors looking for opportunities in a post-AI frenzy market may find this pivot toward a cyclical recovery both timely and lucrative.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Why Analysts Love Broadcom</h3>
Bank of America&#8217;s analyst Vivek Arya reiterated a &#8220;Buy&#8221; rating on Broadcom following the quarterly report, boosting the 12-month price target from $215 to $250 and hinting at a potential 15% upside from current levels.
Arya&#8217;s optimism stems from three main drivers:
<ol>
<li>AI&#8217;s Expanding Footprint: Broadcom&#8217;s custom AI chips (ASICs) now serve five major customers, up from three previously. The company's AI-related revenue could soar to a served available market of $60–$90 billion by 2027—up from an estimated $15–$20 billion in 2023.</li>
<li>Apple's Steady Demand: Broadcom is expected to maintain its strong relationship with Apple, despite prior concerns about declining content orders.</li>
<li>Robust Earnings Growth: Analysts forecast a 15% sales growth and a 20% adjusted earnings-per-share (EPS) growth trajectory through 2026, underpinned by Broadcom&#8217;s diversified portfolio spanning silicon and infrastructure software.</li>
</ol>
"Broadcom's AI-driven growth potential and diversified base position it as one of the best opportunities in the chip sector," Arya said in a note, justifying their upward revision of earnings per share in fiscal year 2025 and 2026 by 5% and 3%, respectively.
