ANET Return Day-1 residual (stock − beta × S&P 500) -4.5% MEDIUM
ANET Return 5-day cumulative residual -7.5% (FOLLOW-THROUGH) Setup mirrors Q1: stock rallied ~40% into the print on AI-capex euphoria, pricing in a beat, while memory/silicon cost inflation (DRAM spikes flagged by Micron/Amazon capex commentary) makes a gross-margin guide-down for FY26 (62-64% range narrowing toward the low end) likely even amid a top-line/EPS beat. Last quarter's near-identical dynamic (beat + margin concern) drove a -14% two-day drop that continued rather than reversed within the week as analysts cut FY26 EPS/margin estimates on the implicit cost read-through; expect a similar initial negative reaction to extend over 5 days as sell-side trims margin assumptions, even if revenue/AI-fabric targets are reaffirmed.
