Getty Images Netflix ( NFLX ) is a stock I still own for the long term. Last wrote about it in January 2025. I called it a long-term hold and a short-term sell for traders. Today, I feel that the stock is a solid long-term buy. I think it would have been interesting to see what Netflix would have done with Warner Bros. Discovery ( WBD ), but that's all in the past now (and arguably for the best, given the leverage required). So is Reed Hastings's tenure with the company. He will be leaving officially in June, and some may have expressed concern that he is no longer part of the board, but for me, it's a non-issue...the major decision-making powers have already long been the province of co-Chief-Execs Greg Peters and Ted Sarandos. I will discuss the recent earnings report and the fact that I don't think the recent sell-off is a harbinger of bad things to come for the stock in the years ahead. Netflix is still the big streaming player in town and I see it doing better with advertising incrementally over time at first, and then with growth spurts along the way. And although I know the company has been averse to a true multiplex strategy for its content, it's really hard not to believe that it will eventually move in that direction, especially given that there was an interest in Warners and its entertainment businesses (minus the linear side, of course), which included the movie business and DC as well as HBO. The company may also consider an acquisition at some point, and its share buyback is a welcome addition in most respects (there's a small part of me that would rather a focus on debt reduction to make the balance sheet even stronger, something that would be controversial on Wall Street, which would certainly not worry about debt with a company such as this one). Q1 Earnings The report was delivered on April 16, 2026. The shareholder letter said that revenue increased 16% to just under $12.3 billion. Operating income rose 18% to $4 billion, with operating margin jum...

Erik Isakson/DigitalVision via Getty Images Thesis Arista Networks ( ANET ) is heading into a May 5th 1Q26 earnings release. So far, Arista has probably been one of the cleanest ways to play the AI infrastructure buildout for investors. They have strong momentum already showing up in their positioning at the centre of hyperscale demand. My bull case here would then hinge on Arista continuing to outperform expectations via sustained 30% revenue growth, more AI back-end networking wins, and some further upside to guidance as we’re seeing a lot of cloud customers ramp their deployments. I think that if the company can pair another top-line beat next month with improving forward commentary, particularly with respect to AI cluster scaling and Ethernet adoption, there could be scope for the stock to justify the hefty premium valuation and continue re-rating. In my previous coverage , I went over the specific aspects of how their business operates. Since then, the stock has seen a lot of strong momentum and is up about 29% since that coverage. In the long term, I see a lot more upside to this stock. However, we need to consider the short-term risk of going into earnings with expectations so high. Seeking Alpha Strong momentum in 2026 Arista has started 2026 as one of the standout performers in the optical and networking space. So far, we’ve seen them catch some of the strongest secular tailwinds in tech right now, which is the explosive buildout of AI-driven data centre infrastructure. Now, unlike those that would be more hardware-exposed peers like Lumentum Holdings or even Ciena, Arista is quite heavily leveraged to high-performance Ethernet switching/software-defined networking. Now, this is something that hyperscalers like Microsoft, Meta, and a lot of other cloud giants are starting to adopt as they try to scale AI clusters. I see the key demand driver here as the shift toward AI back-end networking. You see, thousands of GPUs pretty much have to communicate with ultr...
