Arista Networks
NYSE: ANET
Recommendation: BUY
Alex Tullman & Connor O’Brien
Investment ThesisRecommendation:
Arista Networks is (NYSE: ANET) is a great high growth stock as it holds a position as the high-end provider and lead innovator in a rapidly growing industry, while currently being underpriced because of a market overreaction.
Rationale:
The current price of $193.68 provides a cheap entry into a company on the supplier side of one of the fastest growing sectors in tech. As a recognized high-end supplier, Arista Network will continue to succeed as long as cloud network services are demanded.
2
1. Strong tailwinds and growth potential in the cloud network industry
2. Arista Network is known as the high-end provider for specialized cloud network hardware and software
3. Recent 25% drop in share price is an overreaction that has left the stock undervalued
Price Target: $230.7319.17% upside to current price of $193.68

The Cloud
User has access to data stored in remote server
warehouses
Work and data is stored in remote server
warehouses rather than the computer’s
hardware
When requested, the data is sent to the user’s computer
utilizing switches
All work is done on the personal computer,
but is then sent to the servers and stored
remotely
Rather than everyone needing sufficient
hardware to store data, this process is “outsourced”
Requests for data
Delivery of data
Importance:Saves costs and increases efficiency by leveraging the infrastructure of large data storage firms. Computers become access points to a “cloud” of remotely stored information. “Sharing the same Netflix account,” or specialization
1. Strong Cloud Industry Outlook
5
Cloud Services Public Spending Growing % of Data Center Revenues
Key Industry Drivers High-End Customers
Cloud services are becoming more mainstream• Apple, Google →Microsoft, Amazon, Verizon, Facebook, Dropbox
Demand for data to be shared rapidly and efficiently is increasing
Ability to store data in-house is less feasible due to the amount being transmitted and analyzed
In-house computing technology is expensive and not currently feasible for many firms
Software as a Service (SaaS), Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS), and Platform as a Service (PaaS) are three emerging industries that are currently maturing into definite sectors of the “Cloud” which is providing clarity in the market

Together Microsoft and Facebook comprise roughly 10% of ANET’s annual revenue. This concentration can be concerning, but both customers are committed to working with ANET as they continue to develop their cloud networks. Both customers have deep pockets, are currently financially healthy, and should continue to be leaders in their respective industries.
2. Competitive Advantage
6
Leading Hardware Capabilities CloudVision
Arista’s Extensible Operating System (EOS)
• Market leading proprietary software that allows integration with third-party devices to achieve effective solutions in multi-vendor networks
• Arista has more than 10 million lines of code and 10,000 person-years of software engineering into EOS
• Open and Programmable
• Built on an Open Source Linux Kernel which allows for software to be highly modular
• Self healing and automotive capabilities
• Creates very limited downtime and troubleshooting
• EOS software runs across all of its products, increasing reliability, and decreasing complexity and cost to set-up and maintain network
• While Cloud titans have utilized EOS to develop their own automation and management tools, CloudVision provides an interface for proactive troubleshooting, performance monitoring, and compliance to all of Arista’s customers
• Arista sees CloudVision benefitting 3 major segments
• Cloud Titans – that prioritize scale and control
• Traditional Enterprises – that value turnkey solutions
• Long-term Cloud Enterprises – that rely on top of market solutions for a competitive advantage
• Market Leading merchant silicon
• Traditionally vendors have engineered processors that are task specific circuits (ASIC) and are coupled with task specific software leading to vendor lock-in and limiting customer choice
• Merchant silicon circuits are not task specific, but can be generally used across networking switches, which prevents such limitation
• Top of the Market Cooling and Energy Efficiency
• Important to maintain optimal functioning of major server warehouses

Cisco Juniper Arista Others
Overview
• In a network, switches receive and send data from one end-point (usually a server) to another endpoint
• Many different types of switches based on layer, throughput, and networking abilities
• Networking ethernet switches be made for small business or campuses to the biggest cloud titans like Microsoft and Amazon
• Market contains both cloud and non-cloud capable ethernet switches
• Major cloud players: Cisco, Arista, and Juniper
Ethernet Switch by Throughput
• Throughput segments: 100 Mb, 1 Gb, 10 Gb, 40 Gb, 100+ Gb
• $400 mm or 67% of Arista’s Q1 2019 Revenue, from the 100+ Gb switch category
• Large service providers and hyperscale cloud providers were the first to adopt 100 Gb networking switches
• Due to falling costs and increased need for high bandwidth and low-latency switches, more demand will come from traditional enterprises for 100 Gb throughput switches
• In 2018 Arista developed a 400 Gb ethernet switch series and competitors like Cisco quickly followed
Arista’s positioning
• As the amount of data increases and cloud computing becomes more prevalent, higher and higher throughput switches will be demanded
• Through its software capabilities, Arista will allow for more traditional businesses and campuses to adopt higher throughput switches
• Long-term, this will allow for Arista to diversify customer base and limit dependence on cloud Titans
• Meanwhile, Cloud titans will continue to demand increasingly high throughputs of over 400 Gb
• As a leading innovator in the ethernet switches market, Arista has the ability to capitalize first on this new demand
3. Market Overreaction to Q3
8
In Q3 2019, Arista Network lowered guidance for both Q4 ’19, and 2020.
This guidance was a result of a decrease in demand from one of their “Cloud Titans.” ANET services two cloud titans, Microsoft and Facebook, and they have explicitly stated that the decrease in demand was not a result of Microsoft, so we can assume it was Facebook.
$115 million in common stock repurchased at a weighted average cost per share of $224: “$1 billion stock repurchase program…to repurchase shares of our common stock opportunistically
The reduction in demand is a long-term problem in the cloud market, not just isolated to Facebook
The company is too dependent on concentrated revenue streams and the cloud
The “cloud” is not going to be as big of a money maker as people originally thought
Mojo merger and cloud campus is not significant
We also believe the market is finding it difficult to price ANET due to its lack of direct comps
ANET is currently developing and maturing multiple new revenue streams, including service revenue, the CloudVision, and are also spending lots on R&D to become a more broad provider of cloud network services, like Cisco.
ANET did not lose Facebook as a customer, and will continue to acquire new customers as demand for cloud services grows
The share repurchase program implies a long-term confidence in the fundamentals of the business
They operate in a high margin, rapidly growing industry and deserve to be trading at multiples over their “competitors”
