Where Will Arista Networks Be in 1 Year?
Key Points Arista is benefiting from the rapid growth of the cloud and AI markets. But its dependence on big hyperscale customers is squeezing its gross margins. A lot of of its near-term growth is already baked into its premium valuations. 10 stocks we like better than Arista Networks › Arista Networks ' (NYSE: ANET) stock has rallied more than 50% over the past 12 months. It also trades less than 10% below its all-time high from this January. The computer networking company impressed investors with its robust growth rates and exposure to the booming cloud and AI markets. But will Arista's stock soar even higher over the next year, or is it due to take a breather? Let's review Arista's growth rates, its near-term catalysts, and its valuations to decide. Understanding Arista's business Arista controls a smaller slice of the networking market than Cisco Systems, but it differentiates itself from its bigger competitor in several key ways. Arista's modular operating system, EOS, is compatible with a wider range of open networking protocols than Cisco's systems, which are often known for locking its customers into its "walled garden." In addition, Arista focuses on selling lower-latency switches, which are optimized for hyperscale cloud networks, while Cisco bundles together a broader range of enterprise campus, branch, wide-area networking (WAN), and data center solutions. Arista's flexibility and scalability made it the preferred networking hardware and software provider for cloud and AI giants like Meta Platforms and Microsoft. Its CloudVision platform also helps those clients easily monitor and analyze their data center deployments. So while Cisco is still considered a "one stop shop" for big enterprise networking deployments, Arista is emerging as a higher-growth play on the expanding cloud and AI markets. From 2019 to 2024, Arista's revenue expanded at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 24%. Its cloud and hyperscale markets continued to expand throughout the pandemic, and its tighter portfolio of products insulated it from the supply chain disruptions which impacted Cisco and other networking hardware companies. What happened to Arista over the past year? In 2025, Arista's revenue rose 19.5%, its adjusted gross margin rose 200 basis points to 64.6%, and its adjusted earnings per share (EPS) grew 31.2%. Here's how rapidly it grew over the past year. Data source: Arista Networks. YOY = Year over year. Arista's recent growth was largely driven by the rapid expansion of the cloud and AI markets. However, its gross margins are declining as it sells a higher mix of lower-margin, high-volume routers and switches to those big customers. It doesn't have much pricing power against those cloud titans, which often demand higher-volume discounts. At the same time, inflation, elevated interest rates, tariffs, and other macroheadwinds are driving its component and supply chain costs higher. By comparison, Cisco's adjusted gross margin expanded 30 basis points year over year to 68.6% in its latest quarter. Those higher margins reflect Cisco's stronger pricing power, which it reinforces through its aggressive bundling strategies. For the second quarter of 2025, Arista expects its revenue to rise 24.3% year over year as its adjusted gross margin dips to 63%. For the full year, analysts expect its revenue and adjusted EPS to grow 20% and 13%, respectively. Most of that growth should be driven by the growing adoption of its 800G Ethernet products for handling AI workloads. Where will Arista's stock be in a year? Arista is still growing rapidly, but it can't be considered a bargain at 50 times its trailing earnings. Cisco, which is growing at a much slower rate, trades at 28 times earnings. For 2026, analysts expect Arista's revenue and adjusted EPS to grow 18% and 17%, respectively, as the AI boom continues. If Arista matches those estimates and still trades at 50 times earnings, its stock price could rise more than 20% to $150 over the next 12 months. But if it trades at 30 times earnings, its stock could drop more than 25% to $90. Therefore, Arista's upside potential might be limited by its valuations over the next year as investors wait to see if its robust revenue growth can offset its declining gross margins. It might still eke out some modest gains, but it probably won't replicate its rally from the past 12 months. Should you invest $1,000 in Arista Networks right now?

What Happened to BlackBerry (BB) Stock This Year?
Key Points BlackBerry stock has gone nowhere over the past year. The company is relying on its QNX and SecuSmart divisions to drive its near-term growth. The stock is not as cheap as it appears to be given its growth potential. 10 stocks we like better than BlackBerry › BlackBerry (NYSE: BB) was once synonymous with smartphones, but it lost that booming market to the Apple iPhone and Android-powered devices. It eventually stopped producing phones entirely and reinvented itself as an Internet of Things (IoT) and cybersecurity software provider, but it's still struggling to expand in those saturated markets. The stock has traded flat in 2025 as the S&P 500 is up 8% year to date. Let's see why BlackBerry is trailing the broad market this year and where it might be headed over the next 12 months. BlackBerry's two core growth engines Most of BlackBerry's recent growth has been driven by two acquisitions. First, it acquired QNX, the world's most popular embedded operating system (OS) for vehicles, back in 2010. That acquisition helped it profit from the secular growth of the connected and driverless vehicle markets. In 2023, it launched BlackBerry IVY, a cloud-based connected-vehicle platform which was built on QNX and co-developed with Amazon Web Services. BlackBerry rebranded its entire IoT business as QNX earlier this year, and it expects more automotive design wins to drive its results long-term. In fiscal 2025 (which ended this past February), the QNX segment's revenue rose 10% year over year and accounted for 44% of BlackBerry's top line. Second, BlackBerry acquired the cybersecurity company Cylance in 2019 for $1.4 billion. That acquisition was aimed at strengthening its cybersecurity software business, but it faced stiff competition from bigger and faster-growing competitors like Palo Alto Networks and CrowdStrike. In February, it sold Cylance's endpoint security assets to Arctic Wolf for $160 million in cash and equity. In fiscal 2025, BlackBerry's revenue from its secured communications segment (which houses its cybersecurity services, SecuSmart secure messaging and call services, and other security tools) dipped 4% year over year but still accounted for 51% of its top line. BlackBerry previously leveraged its patents to generate high-margin royalties and licensing fees, but it sold most of that portfolio over the past three years to raise fresh cash. As a result, its licensing revenue plunged 90% in fiscal 2025 and only accounted for 5% of its top line. What will happen to BlackBerry over the next year? BlackBerry expects to generate $508 million to $538 million in revenue in fiscal 2026, which would represent a 2% decline at the midpoint. This includes a 10% to 14% hit to secured communications revenue stemming from the Cylance sale, though the company continues to gain more SecuSmart customers. For QNX, management is guiding for 10% full-year growth at the midpoint of its $250 million to $270 million range. On the bottom line, adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) should range between a 14% decline and 3% growth. For fiscal 2027, however, analysts expect revenue and adjusted EBITDA to rise 9% and 18%, respectively, as QNX and SecuSmart gain new customers. Is it the right time to buy BlackBerry stock? With an enterprise value of $2.2 billion, BlackBerry isn't much of a bargain at four times this year's sales. It also trades at 27 times forward adjusted EBITDA. Insiders have been net sellers of the stock over the past 12 months too. If BlackBerry manages to meet analysts' expectations and still trades at 27 times its forward adjusted EBITDA by the beginning of fiscal 2027, its shares could rise 16% over the next 12 months. If either of its two main segments stumble, however, its valuation multiples would likely contract, driving the stock lower. That's why I don't think BlackBerry stock is worth buying yet. Should you invest $1,000 in BlackBerry right now? Before you buy stock in BlackBerry, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and BlackBerry wasn't one of them.

3 Energy Stocks to Buy With $500 and Hold Forever
Key Points ExxonMobil combines low-cost oil production with growing investments in carbon capture, lithium, and clean tech. Enbridge offers a 6% dividend yield, a 30-year dividend streak, and new projects like a solar deal with Meta Platforms. NextEra has a high valuation, but its cash flow and growth make it a durable energy stock. 10 stocks we like better than ExxonMobil › Old-school energy sources aren't going anywhere. Even as the world transitions to cleaner power, oil and gas (and the infrastructure behind them) remain integral to the global economy. Add in rising electricity demand from AI and data centers, and you have a sector where both old-school titans and new-age renewables can thrive. Where to invest $1,000 right now? Our analyst team just revealed what they believe are the 10 best stocks to buy right now. Learn More » If you have $500 and want to build a long-term, diversified position in energy, the goal is pretty simple: Find companies with strong balance sheets, steady dividends, and exposure to both sides of the energy transition. The following three energy stocks fit that bill precisely. 1. ExxonMobil: old-school energy with new ambitions ExxonMobil(NYSE: XOM) is a titan of traditional energy. With operations spanning oil fields, gas stations, and refineries, the oil stock is built to weather just about any price cycle. It's a fossil fuel giant, but Exxon isn't acting like a dinosaur. In December 2024, the company unveiled a bold 2030 plan to generate $20 billion in new earnings and $30 billion in added cash flow, all while deploying $140 billion to major projects and boosting shareholder returns. About $30 billion of that is earmarked for carbon capture, hydrogen, and lithium developments. That's not a plan to pivot away from oil per se, but it is one to stay relevant no matter where energy goes next. More to the present, Exxon has a fortress of a balance sheet, with $18.5 billion in cash at the end of the first quarter and an industry-leading debt-to-capital ratio of about 12%. As the chart below shows, both of these put Exxon in a favorable position in respect to its biggest competitor, Chevron. And perhaps most important of all, Exxon pays investors to wait. The company has raised its dividend for 42 consecutive years, with a current yield near 3.5% and plenty of free cash flow to support future increases. Add in that strong balance sheet, ongoing share buybacks, and one of the lowest break-even oil prices in the industry, and you have a cash machine with staying power. 2. Enbridge: a dividend pipeline that's going solar Enbridge(NYSE: ENB) is Canada's energy highway. It transports about 30% of North America's crude oil and 20% of the U.S. natural gas supply. Fun fact: Its oil pipeline network stretches more than 18,000 miles, long enough to wrap around three-quarters of the Equator. With a dividend north of 6% and three decades of consecutive hikes, Enbridge has become a go-to for income investors. What really sets it apart, however, is how it is building a dual engine for growth. The company is investing billions annually not just into pipeline expansions, but also offshore, wind, solar, and renewable natural gas. The strategy is already in motion. Enbridge recently broke ground on Clear Fork, a 600-megawatt solar project near San Antonio, Texas, backed by a long-term power purchase agreement with Meta Platforms. The $900 million facility is expected to come on line in 2027 and start adding cash flow and earnings right away. It's a clear sign that the company isn't just moving energy anymore but helping to build infrastructure that will power tech giants and data centers. 3. NextEra Energy: the clean energy leader NextEra Energy(NYSE: NEE), the lone renewables stock on this list, brings something the other two can't: long-term growth without the fossil fuel baggage. It's the world's largest producer of wind and solar power, and it runs Florida Power & Light, the biggest regulated utility in the country. In the second quarter, NextEra added 3.2 gigawatts of new clean-energy projects, lifting its total backlog to 30 gigawatts, roughly the size of 30 nuclear reactors. That pipeline gives the company visibility into future earnings, which it expects to grow 6% to 8% annually through 2027. It's also targeting 10% dividend growth through at least 2026, building on 29 straight years of increases . Today's 3% yield may not scream high income, but it's backed by strong free cash flow and one of the safest payout ratios in the industry. One caveat is that the company trades at a premium: about 20 times forward earnings. But with projected earnings per share (EPS) of $3.45 to $3.70 this year and unmatched leadership in the renewables race, that premium isn't empty air. For investors looking to own a piece of the clean energy sector, NextEra Energy seems about as "forever" as it gets. Powering your portfolio for the long haul With Exxon's oil empire, Enbridge's pipelines, and NextEra's clean energy runway, investors have options that span the full energy spectrum. Each company brings something different to the table, but all three are built to endure. Whether you're looking for dividends or stability, these three offer a balanced way to invest in the future of energy. Should you invest $1,000 in ExxonMobil right now?
