How it trades on rate days

How ANET has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.61 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Arista Networks moved 0.61% on average · correlation 0.11 · higher than 63% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.61 about the same as over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.76% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days +1.10% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Arista Networks

ANET in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Arista builds networking hardware and software that carries data through cloud, AI, campus and routing setups, sold as switches paired with its EOS operating system. It serves internet firms, cloud providers, banks, government bodies and other large data-centre operators worldwide. The company is based in Santa Clara, California, and listed in 2014.
Where it sits in the stack
Arista carries no seat in Rubin, our AI build-out index; the diary instead places it in the data-centre networking sleeve of the wider universe. Past notes applying the diary's six-layer supply-chain map put networking switching at Layer 3, sitting between compute at Layer 4 and memory at Layer 2.
Who it is priced against
Closelooknet's peer group prices Arista against Cisco Systems, Nvidia, Ciena and Hewlett Packard Enterprise as the data-centre networking comparison set. The market also weighs it against Juniper Networks, now folded into HPE, as another switching name in the same trade.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Arista sits in the S&P 500 but holds no seat in Rubin and carries no Closelooknet score yet. Three notes in the diary's 101 format have mentioned it, including pieces mapping AI infrastructure layers and one flagging networking as an underappreciated part of the build-out.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether networking gets re-rated alongside compute and memory as AI infrastructure spending broadens, since one note already flagged this layer as overlooked.
