The short version

Tom Nash's selected Arista Networks comments focus on AI data-center networking. In January 2026 he expects operating income to grow substantially over the following years. In May he says the earlier share-price rise does not make the opportunity too late, urging viewers to consider the business rather than past gains. In July he again identifies Arista as a company on his top-stocks list. That list is a set of public ideas; these excerpts do not establish a personal position or realized trading returns.

    He names Arista as the third stock in his list of five ideas for 2026, citing its role in AI data-center networking. The two-to-threefold projection concerns operating income over an unspecified number of years, not a stock-price target or a personal holding.

    “It's not too late despite the spike.”

    He has just identified Arista and discussed its increase since joining his top-stocks list. He then says to assess intrinsic business value and future opportunity; the claim concerns his current view of the idea, not a new purchase.

    “Now, Arista Networks is a company I actually added to my top stocks list a few years ago.”

How to read this

Quotes are short excerpts from Tom Nash's public YouTube videos, attributed to the speaker and linked to the timestamp. “Close that day” is ANET's split-adjusted closing price on the day the video was published (New York time); if markets were closed that day, the last close before it. “Since” compares that close with the latest close on 2026-09-16. It is a price observation, not the creator's realized return, and not investment advice. How the price change is calculated. Next to it we show SPY, the ETF tracking the S&P 500, over the same two dates — so a move can be read against the market rather than on its own: why we compare with SPY. Each quote also carries a label — Named as a pick, Risk acknowledged, Reducing — describing what kind of statement it was: see what the labels mean.
