The analyst's take on Arista Networks, Inc.
Arista Networks, Inc. has grown revenue from $1.13B to $9.01B over the last 10 fiscal years, compounding about 31.2% a year. The most recent year was up 28.6%, so growth has cooled from its longer-run pace.
Net margin sits at 39%, down 1.7 points year over year on a 64.1% gross margin.
At today's valuation the market is pricing in roughly 21.1% annual free-cash-flow growth — versus the 42.7% it actually delivered over the last five years, so the price is arguably undemanding against what it has already proven. The one thing worth a second look in the filings is receivables growing faster than sales.
