The business, and the score behind its five axes

The reading, in brief

Is it cheap

Price to earnings is 66.52x at the close of 2026-10-15 on FY2025 figures; the lines are 15.00x (Graham's defensive ceiling) and, by market convention, 10.00x, 25.00x and 40.00x, and this sits above the highest.

Today, against the Technology sector (365 companies), 66.52x sits at the 78th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 15.65x to 58.59x.

Is it good

Return on invested capital was 30.6% in FY2025, in the band labelled "Exceptional" (20.0% and above), on lines anchored on Damodaran's cost-of-capital data, suggesting returns on the capital in the business well above the usual cost of that capital.

Today, against the Technology sector (220 companies), 30.6% sits at the 85th percentile; the middle half of that group runs from 1.2% to 17.5%.

Is it safe

Arista Networks, Inc. held more cash than debt at the end of FY2025 (net cash of 2.0bn USD), so net debt to EBITDA is a net cash position rather than a leverage reading.

Why n/a

The debt total on file was summed from short-term debt, long-term debt and lease obligations, and at least one of those was never captured. An absent term is spent as a zero inside that sum, and this balance sheet does not show the term is empty, so we will not build a leverage ratio, an enterprise value or a return on capital on it, or rank the company on one.

The year and the filing date name the statement each figure’s accounts are read from, and they stand even where the figure itself could not be computed: the line beneath a blank says what that statement did not carry.

What to do with what you have read.

A thesis is your reason for owning it, in your words, with the figures that must stay true. Checking those figures every night against the newest filed accounts, and telling you once when one breaks, is what the subscription adds.

More on this company

What this cannot tell you

  • 6 figures could not be read on this company, among them Debt to Equity, Interest Coverage, Dividend Yield. Each blank in the table above names the rest, with its reason. 4 named tests come back incomplete because of them, which is neither met nor missed.

And the one that is true of all of it: This is what the numbers say today. It cannot tell you the day one of them stops being true. Nothing here can, because the reasons are not written down.

Running this once is arithmetic on public documents and you are welcome to it. Writing down why you own each company, in your own words and with the numbers that have to stay true for it to hold, and then having those numbers re-checked every night against the newest filed accounts, and against the latest close where a rule watches a price, is Professional, the plan a new account starts on for 30 days, one trial per person. It writes to you the day one breaks, and stays quiet when nothing does. The check runs every night at 23:30 UTC. A filing is picked up the night after it is published.

No card. 30 free days, and nothing is charged unless you choose a plan.
