Chip Stock Investor explores the implications of a recent stock price downgrade of Arista Networks (ANET), emphasizing the importance of a moderate viewpoint in evaluating businesses.

The downgrade, which shifted Arista from a 'buy' to a 'sell' due to Nvidia's (NVDA) “rising competition,” spurred a discussion on the essential technologies of Ethernet and InfiniBand, their roles in data centers and AI, and how these technologies impact the rivalry between Nvidia and Arista Networks.

Nick and Kasey explain why Ethernet and InfiniBand matter, Nvidia's strategic acquisition that put them in the lead in InfiniBand, and the evolving landscape of AI and data center networking. Arista Networks is no slouch though. And Ethernet is still very much a part of the modern data center.

Check out this episode of Chip Stock Investor for our take on Arista Networks business model, and whether the “new Nvidia risk” is valid or not.
