Arista Networks, Inc. (ANET) has officially executed a four-for-one forward stock split, as announced on November 7, 2024. This corporate action, finalized on December 3, 2024, through an amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation, has increased the number of authorized common shares from 1 billion to 4 billion.
