Summary:

  • It is an open secret that majority of PC game developers have long been making games optimized for Nvidia graphics processors.

ANET Stock Forecast: Why Arista Networks Remains A Strong Buy

motek 1The article was written by Motek Moyen Research Seeking Alpha’s #1 Writer on Long Ideas and #2 in Technology – Senior Analyst at I Know First.

Summary:

  • Cisco and Arista has settled their court battle last year. Arista is now free to keep on taking away networking/data center customers away from Cisco.
  • Compared to Cisco, Arista’s revenue performance over the last five years showed it is the better investment for growth-minded investors.
  • ANET has notably higher valuation ratios than CSCO because it is perceived as the firm with the better growth potential. Cisco is too big and too old, it cannot grow fast anymore.
  • Arista’s management and engineers are former Cisco employees. Arista therefore has the technology and contact lists to disrupt Cisco’s small and large enterprise businesses.
  • I Know First has bullish algorithmic forecasts for ANET.

Summary:

  • Autodesk’s stock already has a year-to-date return of +24.04%. I still reiterate a buy rating for this 3D/CAD/CAM software leader.
  • I argued six months ago that ADSK can shoot up to $200. This price target could turn out to be true within the next six months.
  • My fearless forecast is that Autodesk will soon return to consistent profitability after most of its customers switch to the subscription-only model.
  • More than 95% of ADSK shares are owned by institutional investors. Small retail investors can profit from imitating the stock picking bets of institutional investors.
  • The 30-day technical indicators and moving averages points to ADSK as a buy. I Know First’s AI stock picking algorithm also has a very bullish one-year forecast for ADSK.

Summary:

  • Alibaba Group Holding’s stock has already posted a 3-month return of +29.04%. I still reiterate it as a buy.

  • My-month PT for BABA is $200. This is reasonable. The average 12-month PT for BABA at TipRanks is $203.33.
  • Alibaba making Youku the Netflix of China can be a major boost to Alibaba’s subscription revenue business.
  • The 0% commission rate on Lazada means it will continue to rule Southeast Asia’s booming e-commerce industry.
