Why Arista Networks (ANET) Could Be an Impressive Growth Stock

Growth stocks can be some of the most exciting picks in the market, as these high-flyers can captivate investors’ attention, and produce big gains as well.

In fact, the current growth estimate for this year calls for earnings-per-share growth of 22.8%. Furthermore, the long-term growth rate is currently an impressive 23.6%, suggesting pretty good prospects for the long haul.
