Better Buy: Arista Networks vs. Juniper Networks
I compared Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET) to Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) last October. At the time, I concluded that Arista's higher gross margins and forward-thinking approach to replacing physical routers with cloud-based software made it the better networking play.
Arista's stock subsequently rallied nearly 40% as Juniper's stock advanced about 20%. But past performance never guarantees future gains, so we should review these two companies to see if Arista is still the better investment.
