Arista and Cisco report record AI-driven results but stocks drop amid growth and margin concerns.

Arista Networks and Cisco Systems both posted record AI-driven revenue growth, with Arista hitting $3.04 billion and Cisco nearly $9.8 billion in networking revenue. Arista benefits from focused AI fabric products and raised its 2026 outlook to $12.6 billion, while Cisco sees broad demand including $4 billion from hyperscalers and offers dividends and buybacks. Despite strong results, both stocks fell sharply due to concerns over margins, supply constraints, and valuation risks. Investors will watch Arista's margin targets and Cisco's upcoming AI revenue report for future direction.

Arista Networks shares rose 2.38% to USD 185.50, showing strong investor interest with 85% buy orders on Pluang. Cisco Systems also gained 0.34% to USD 107.07, supported by a 1.57% dividend yield and 90% buy orders. These figures reflect active trading as of Oct 21, 2026 18:12 WIB.
