If you believe ANET can sustain its 28.6% revenue growth and 42.8% operating margin, then the stock looks attractive to own or add on weakness because it is valued below the P/E-implied price and cheaper than PANW on every listed trading multiple.
ANET’s current price of $159.99 is far below the P/E-implied price of $598.30, implying 274.0% upside on that framework. Relative to PANW, ANET also trades at lower valuation multiples across P/E, P/S, EV/EBITDA, and EV/Revenue despite stronger operating performance.
