$ANET is a clear leader, does still has room to go?Arista Networks NYSE:ANET is a company that delivers software-defined networking solutions for large datacenter, cloud computing and high-frequency trading environments.
According to IBD is the leader in its industry (Computer-Networking Group). I compared Arista Net to AMEX:IYZ , an ETF concentrated in telecommunications and NYSE:ANET is leading the sector. IBD gives a Relative Strength Rating of 86 against the market.
So, the stock broke out of a large base in November of 2020 and at that moment its Price/Earnings Ratio was at 30 something. Then on the 2nd quarter broke out of a "cup and handle" and now is breaking out of a flag pattern; this is a very good continuation pattern. The thing is that its PE Ratio is nearing 50, so it has increased a lot since it broke out from its frist base. This could mean that it may not have a lot of room to go.
As for today, the buying volume is not above average so I would wait for more confrimation signals. Still is a stock to watch very closelly.
