JPMorgan analysts Dubravko Lakos-Bujas, Arun Jain and Bhupinder Singh note that the sharp reversal in momentum has erased two years of gains in just three weeks &#8211; one of the fastest unwinds in four decades. 
With mega-caps leading the drop and a dramatic shift towards low-volatility stocks, investors need to rethink their strategies.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What's Behind The Crash?</h2>
Extreme crowding in momentum stocks &#8211; primarily fueled by AI enthusiasm, high-rate expectations and pro-growth bets—came under pressure as macro risks resurfaced. 
The result? A 17% average decline among the Mag-7, triggering a $5.8 trillion market cap wipeout in the S&amp;P 500.
While forced liquidations and systematic deleveraging have cooled the immediate risk of another crash, JPMorgan warns that if this is a true regime shift, the unwind may only be one-third complete.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Where Is Momentum Flowing?</h2>
Momentum is rotating away from quality growth and into low volatility and defensive plays. 
According to JPMorgan, stocks in the following sectors are seeing the strongest bid:
Utilities: NiSource Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NI#NYSE">NI</a>), Ameren Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AEE#NYSE">AEE</a>) and Evergy Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/EVRG#NASDAQ">EVRG</a>)
Insurance: Arthur J. Gallagher &amp; Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AJG#NYSE">AJG</a>), Brown &amp; Brown Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/BRO#NYSE">BRO</a>) and Aon PLC (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AON#NYSE">AON</a>)
Financial Services: Visa Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/V#NYSE">V</a>) and Mastercard Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MA#NYSE">MA</a>)
Crowding in low volatility names has surged, pushing relative P/E valuations to record highs.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What To Watch Next</h2>
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Low-Volatility Boom</h4>
With the iShares Russell 2000 ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/IWM#NYSE">IWM</a>) (small caps) lagging and defensive ETFs like the Invesco S&amp;P 500 Low Volatility ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/SPLV#NYSE">SPLV</a>) seeing inflows, the shift towards safety is clear. But JPMorgan warns that a further rate drop could push low volatility stocks into bubble territory, much like 2016.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">High-Volatility Bargains</h4>
According to JPMorgan, stocks that have seen heavy multiple compression, making them attractive for value-seeking investors, include:
Semiconductors: Monolithic Power Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MPWR#NASDAQ">MPWR</a>), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Advanced Micro Devices Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMD#NASDAQ">AMD</a>))
Software: (Synopsys Inc (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/snps#NASDAQ">SNPS</a>), Cadence Design Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDNS#NASDAQ">CDNS</a>), ServiceNow Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NOW#NYSE">NOW</a>))
Tech Hardware: (Arista Networks Inc (NYSE: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/anet#NYSE">ANET</a>), NetApp Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NTAP#NASDAQ">NTAP</a>), Dell Technologies Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/DELL#NYSE">DELL</a>))
However, without an intra-cycle reset or Fed pivot, a broad move into beaten-down growth stocks may be premature.
<h4 class="wp-block-heading">The Fed's Next Move</h4>
If rate expectations shift lower, expect bond proxies to gain further. If not, the defensive rally may stall, forcing a reassessment of positioning.
Momentum traders just got whipsawed and the rotation into low-volatility stocks has been rapid. While some safety plays look solid, overheating risks remain.
Investors should watch for signs of a structural shift &#8211; and be ready to pivot before the next wave hits.

Arista Networks's Options Frenzy: What You Need to Know

Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) has seen <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/ANET/news">a recent pullback</a> with the stock down about 25% over the past month. But JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee sees it as an opportunity rather than a red flag.
He's adding the stock to the firm&#8217;s Analyst Focus List, pointing to upside potential fueled by AI-driven Ethernet adoption in data centers. &#8220;Investors are overestimating the risks from Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and White Box competitors,&#8221;
Chatterjee stated, maintaining an Overweight rating with a $140 price target — implying a significant upside from current levels.
Arista stock closed the trading day, Friday, at $83.51 a share. That&#8217;s an upside of approximately 68%.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arista Stock: Pullback Presents A Buy Opportunity</h2>
According to Chatterjee, the recent decline in Arista stock stemmed from broader AI spending concerns among cloud customers and fears of competition from White Box companies. 
However, he argues that these worries are overstated. &#8220;Arista's AI-driven networking demand remains strong, and market fears are not aligned with long-term fundamentals,&#8221; he said. 
Trading at 28x 2026 consensus EPS, Arista stock isn&#8217;t cheap, but with earnings growth ahead and potential multiple expansion, the stock remains well-positioned for gains.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Valuation Retraces, But Growth Potential Remains</h2>
While Arista stock&#8217;s premium valuation reflected its high growth expectations, recent weakness has erased much of that premium. Currently trading at 33x next-twelve-month P/E, close to its historical average, Arista stock still offers room for appreciation as AI-related Ethernet adoption accelerates in 2026 and beyond. 
&#8220;We believe the stock&#8217;s premium valuation is justified given its dominant role in high-speed Ethernet switching for AI workloads,&#8221; Chatterjee noted.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Seasonal Weakness, But Second-Half Strength?</h2>
Historically, Arista stock underperforms in the first half of the year due to conservative guidance practices. However, the second half tends to see stronger performance, with guidance raises playing a key role. 
&#8220;Our confidence in Arista's second-half rebound remains high, particularly as AI-driven deployments ramp up,&#8221; Chatterjee said. 
Investors looking for AI-driven upside may find upcoming earnings reports to be the catalyst needed to reinforce confidence in the stock's trajectory.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Arista Vs. Nvidia: Market Share Concerns Overstated</h2>
A key question among investors is whether Nvidia's dominance in AI networking could hinder Arista's growth. Chatterjee pushes back against this concern, highlighting Arista's strong presence in front-end networks and ongoing market share gains. 
&#8220;While Nvidia dominates the AI accelerator market, Arista continues to win share in the Ethernet switching segment, which remains critical for AI infrastructure,&#8221; he explained. 
Despite some revenue moderation from Meta Platforms Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/META#NASDAQ">META</a>) in early 2024, Arista remains a critical supplier for AI-driven data centers, positioning it well for future growth.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The White Box Question</h2>
White Box competitors have maintained a steady market share, but Arista's foothold with major cloud players remains strong. According to Chatterjee, White Box adoption outside top-tier cloud customers is limited due to software complexity, keeping Arista's competitive edge intact. 
&#8220;The software-driven differentiation Arista provides remains a key moat against commoditization,&#8221; he added.
With AI data centers shifting toward Ethernet adoption and Arista&#8217;s long-term growth intact, the current pullback presents an attractive entry point. 
&#8220;We see this as an opportunity for long-term investors, given Arista's clear path to AI infrastructure leadership,&#8221; Chatterjee concluded. As market concerns fade and earnings momentum builds, he sees a compelling case for Arista stock's continued outperformance.

RBC Capital analyst Kenneth Lee, on Feb. 26, maintained Sixth Street Specialty with an Outperform rating and raised the price target from $23 to $25.

Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Rep. Robert Bresnahan Has Bought Up to $105K Worth Of Alibaba Gr Hldgs Stock: Here's What You Should Know

Tariffs, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/federal-reserve">federal spending cuts</a> and CoWoS (Chip-on-Wafer-on-Substrate) slowdowns are shaking up the hardware and networking sector. JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee weighs in on which stocks are best equipped to weather the storm.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Tariffs: Who's Feeling The Heat?</h2>
Companies loaded with software-driven hardware are dodging the worst of the tariff blow, while commoditized IT hardware players are absorbing rising costs. Networking leaders like Cisco Systems Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CSCO#NASDAQ">CSCO</a>) and Arista Networks Inc (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ANET#NYSE">ANET</a>) have an edge, given their ability to pass costs down the chain.

Meanwhile, PC and server makers face tighter margins, with limited room to hike prices without losing customers.
Cisco's CFO has already factored in the tariff impact, while Arista's team says they've been planning for China risks ahead of time. The wildcard? 
Storage and networking equipment appear largely insulated, but competitive server pricing could make cost pass-throughs a challenge.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Federal Spending Cuts: Who's At Risk?</h2>
A slowdown in government IT budgets might hit device makers harder than infrastructure players. Cisco, with more than 5% of revenue tied to federal spending, could see near-term pressure, but JPMorgan suggests long-term benefits from federal tech modernization. 
Channel partners like CDW (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CDW#NASDAQ">CDW</a>) also have notable exposure but are downplaying risks for now.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">CoWoS Cuts: Nvidia's Supply Chain Feels The Squeeze</h2>
Recent CoWoS order cuts by Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Amazon.com Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>) are reshuffling supplier valuations. The biggest impact? 
Nvidia-linked players like Fabrinet (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/FN#NYSE">FN</a>), Amphenol Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/APH#NYSE">APH</a>) and Coherent Corp (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/COHR#NYSE">COHR</a>) could face multiple compression, even if revenue estimates remain intact.
Cisco and Arista look relatively shielded from tariff pain, Nvidia's supply chain faces valuation headwinds and federal spending concerns might be a short-term roadblock for key players.
With hardware margins under pressure, JPMorgan's take is clear: software-rich and infrastructure-driven companies have the best shot at staying ahead.
