Hewlett Packard Enterprise just reported its best quarter in years, with networking revenue more than doubling. The stock exploded 30% higher, signaling massive demand for the networking gear that connects AI data centers together.

## Idea

HPE's 148% jump in networking revenue tells us companies are spending aggressively on the wiring that connects AI servers. That spending isn't limited to one vendor — it lifts the whole networking industry. Cisco and Arista Networks are the two biggest pure-play networking names that haven't moved yet this week. When one company in a sector blows out earnings, its closest competitors often catch a bid in the days that follow as investors re-price the whole group.
