Hewlett Packard Enterprise just reported its best quarter in years, with networking revenue more than doubling. The stock jumped 30% in a single day — its biggest gain in nearly a decade.

## Idea

HPE's networking revenue surged 148% in a single quarter, which tells us companies are spending big on the networking gear needed to connect AI data centers. After a 30% pop the stock will likely cool off for a few days as early buyers take profits — but that pullback could be a great entry point. The underlying demand story is real and getting stronger, not weaker. You could also look at networking peers like Arista Networks (ANET), which should benefit from the exact same trend but haven't had their own catalyst yet.
