Arista Networks outlines $105B TAM and diversification strategy
ANET
Revenue Acceleration/Inflection
Guidance Update
  • Arista is a pure-play networking company approaching $10 billion in revenue with a 20% growth estimate for next year and targets a $105 billion total addressable market across AI, data center, cloud, enterprise, campus, routing, and observability (up from $70 billion).
  • While Arista’s top two hyperscalers once drove ~40% of revenue, it is diversifying into enterprise and campus, aiming for $800 million in campus revenue in 2025 and $1.25 billion in 2026 (≈5% market share) by replicating its data center strategy.
  • AI spending is projected at $2.3 trillion from 2022–2035, and Arista anticipates $0.30–$2 of front-end pull-through for every back-end AI dollar, supported by its capabilities across both segments.
  • Arista plans to pursue future scale-up Ethernet opportunities through the ESUN consortium; this potential market is currently excluded from the $105 billion TAM and may become accretive once standards mature over the next 24 months.
