Now, let's dive right into our two trending stocks. First up is the backbone of AI networking. We're taking a look at Arista Networks. They trade under the ticker A&E, currently priced at $140 per share, having gained 68% this past year and being up just shy of 4% in the last 3 months. They do currently score a 10 out of 10 on the tip rank smart score. Arista Networks is the company building the networking infrastructure that makes AI possible at scale. Think of it this way. When hyperscalers like Microsoft, Meta, and Google build massive AI data centers, they need high-speed switches and routers to connect thousands of GPUs together so they can communicate instantly. And that's what Arista does. Their EOS is the software brain behind their hardware, and it's become the gold standard for cloud and AI networking. Arista Networks is trending after their earnings report on May 5th. The company came out with a strong earnings and revenue beat and an increase to their fullear guidance. Yet, the stock has sold off sharfly since, dropping over 17%. Earnings per share came in at 87 cents, beating estimates by 6 cents per share, and revenue came in at $2.71 billion. That was a 35% increase year-over-year. Now, for the AI numbers, management raised their AI fabric's revenue target from 3.25 25 billion to 3.5 billion for the full year. More than a doubling of AI related revenue year-over-year. And they also raised their fullear revenue expectations to 11.5 billion, reflecting growth of 27.7%. So why did the stock drop? Well, Wall Street's expectations had been running at 28 to 30% growth. So the updated guidance, while still outstanding, came in just below what investors had hoped for. Their CEO said that demand is the best he's seen in his Arista tenure. And while the stock did sell off following the report, we still have plenty of analysts increasing their price targets, including an analyst at Truist who bumped up their price target to $175, saying the company's Q1 results showcased accelerating revenue growth and the firm sees the stock's postQ1 weakness as a particularly attractive buying opportunity. There are 17 current analyst ratings, all giving Arista Networks a buy. And the average price target of $188 implies an upside potential of over 34%. Looking at those price targets down below, you can see a handful of analysts bumping up their price targets, ranging from an upside of 24% up to 42%. Our second stock today owns the world's largest live entertainment machine. We're looking at Live Nation Entertainment. They trade under the ticker LY, currently priced just shy of $163 per share, having gained over 24% in the past year and gaining 13.5% in the last 3 months. They currently score an 8 out of 10 on the Tip Rank Smart Score. Live Nation is the world's largest live entertainment company. They operate three interconnected businesses. Live Nation Concerts, which promotes and produces live events across 40 countries. Ticketmaster, the world's dominant ticketing platform, and Live Nation Media and Sponsorship, which connects global brands to hundreds of millions of concert fans. They run over 350 owned or operated venues worldwide. They're also trending after their latest earnings report on May 5th. They did come out with a strong revenue beat, but an alarming earnings miss. However, there's a bit more going on under the surface. Live Nation posted a loss per share of $185, which looks bad, but it was almost entirely driven by a $450 million one-time legal acrruel related to government investigations and litigation. On the more positive side of things, the company did see revenue come in at $3.79 billion, growing 12% year-over-year and beating estimates. Ticket revenue was up 10% and their deferred revenue reached a record $6.6 billion, meaning Live Nation already has 6.6 billion in future event revenue sitting on its books. Management is also guiding to double-digit adjusted operating income growth for the full year. It is worth noting there has been ongoing litigation on whether Live Nation has a monopoly on the ticketing market, but Live Nation said that a recent verdict is not the last word on the matter. And with this all going on, we still had several analysts recently increase their price targets, including one at Guggenheim, who bumped up their price target to 197, saying the firm's 2026 adjusted operating income outlook is now 2.73 billion, up from the previous 2.67 billion, reflecting the Q1 beat and robust outlook for the remainder of the year. Live Nation has 16 current analyst ratings, coming in as a unanimous strong buy. And the average price target of $189 implies an upside potential of 16%. Looking at the price targets down below, they range from an upside of 8% up to 23%. So, that is your quick look at two trending stocks on Wall Street this week. Both coming in with all buy ratings.
