Agilent Technologies stock (US00846U1016) closed at USD 146.93 on September 11, 2026 after a 2.64 percent gain, with an intraday range from USD 142.61 to USD 146.95. The move came after the company reported EPS of USD 1.62 for the August 26, 2026 quarter and revenue of USD 1.88 billion, both figures still shaping sentiment on September 14, 2026.

Quarterly numbers set the tone

According to MarketBeat, Agilent Technologies reported USD 1.62 EPS for the quarter ended August 26, 2026, topping the consensus estimate of USD 1.49 by USD 0.13. The same report says revenue reached USD 1.88 billion, versus USD 1.84 billion expected, and that sales rose 8.1 percent from the prior year.

That combination matters for investors because the quarter also carried a net margin of 19.53 percent and return on equity of 24.45 percent, according to the same MarketBeat report. Agilent also set Q4 2026 guidance at EPS of USD 1.710 to USD 1.740 and FY 2026 guidance at USD 6.180 to USD 6.210.

UBS turns neutral

According to MarketBeat, UBS Group initiated coverage on Agilent Technologies on September 9, 2026 with a neutral rating and a USD 165.00 price objective. That sits above the September 11 close by USD 18.07, or 12.3 percent.

The stock therefore trades between a solid quarterly beat and a cautious broker stance, while the FY 2026 guidance range of USD 6.180 to USD 6.210 EPS gives investors a fresh yardstick for the next update.
