Trump Calls For More Tariffs, Federal Reserve Minutes On Deck: What's Driving Markets Wednesday?

Shares of Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) were trading lower on Wednesday, despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/02/43797762/arista-networks-q4-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-strong-guidance-and-more">upbeat fourth-quarter results</a>.
The results came in amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Piper Sandler On Arista Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5a09e167efacff00012b1912/james-fish">Analyst James Fish</a> reiterated a Neutral rating while lifting the price target from $106 to $108.
Arista Networks reported sales of $1.93 billion, up 25% year-on-year and beating Street expectations by 1.5%, Fish said in a note. The upside was driven by Services, while product billings decelerated to 20%, he added.
CATs (Cloud &amp; AI Titans) represented 48% of full-year revenues, the analyst stated. "Expectations have been coming down post-DeepSeek and competitor reports, but valuation still leaves us on the sidelines as we prefer other infrastructure names at this point," he further wrote.

Needham On Arista Networks
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5bab9cad211e200001963493/ryan-koontz">Analyst Ryan Koontz</a> reaffirmed a Buy rating and price target of $145.
Arista Networks delivered "another strong quarter," with outperformance across the board and operating margins remaining above 46% for the sixth consecutive quarter, Koontz said. Revenues generated by the company's Cloud Titan segment, which now includes Oracle Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ORC#NYSE">ORC</a>), grew by 33% year-on-year, he added.
Although management raised their full-year revenue growth guidance to 17%, it was below consensus of 19.4%, the analyst stated. "While networking spend is likely decreasing as a % of total cloud capex, we are confident a major win at Google is included in its AI backend wins," he further wrote.
ANET Price Action: Shares of Arista Networks had declined by 6.05% to $104.41 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
