Updated on Nov. 2, 2026 in Public Companies
Arista Networks is scheduled to release its third-quarter 2026 results after market close on November 3, 2026, with a results conference call at 4:30 p.m. ET. The company guided third-quarter revenue to about $3.3 billion.
Why it matters
The report will show whether Arista can sustain the growth it recorded in the second quarter, when revenue rose 37.7% from a year earlier. Investors will also measure the company against its own forward guidance for revenue, earnings per share and operating margin.
Arista guided third-quarter non-GAAP operating margin to 48% to 49%, compared with 49.9% in the second quarter. The company did not provide a GAAP reconciliation for this outlook because some excluded items are difficult to predict.
