Published on 10/03/2026 at 20:59 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Agilent Technologies stock (ISIN US00846U1016) was last at USD 167.77 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, with a daily change of 0.65 percent. The key company signal is fiscal third-quarter execution: revenue reached USD 1.88 billion and adjusted earnings per share came to USD 1.62.
Guidance rises after Q3 beat
According to The Globe and Mail on August 26, 2026, Agilent's adjusted EPS exceeded the high end of its guidance by USD 0.06, while reported revenue growth reached 8.1 percent year over year. The comparison with the USD 1.49 consensus estimate put adjusted EPS USD 0.13 higher than expectations.
The company raised fiscal 2026 revenue guidance to USD 7.49 billion to USD 7.51 billion and adjusted EPS guidance to USD 6.18 to USD 6.21. The updated EPS range was USD 0.15 higher at the midpoint than the prior forecast, giving the results a measurable earnings and outlook component rather than a single-quarter effect.
Margin and demand carry the story
Agilent reported a 27.2 percent non-GAAP operating margin for fiscal Q3 excluding tariff refunds, an increase of 210 basis points from the prior year, according to The Globe and Mail. Pharma revenue grew 12 percent, China revenue grew 9 percent, and the advanced therapeutics division grew nearly 30 percent in the same quarter.
The operating profile also includes a counter-factor. Management said the academic and government end market declined 3 percent in fiscal Q3, while advanced therapeutics is expected to show flat growth in the fourth quarter against a difficult prior-year comparison.
Dividend date adds a near checkpoint
Business Wire reported on September 16, 2026, that Agilent declared a quarterly dividend of USD 0.255 per share. The payment is scheduled for October 28, 2026, for shareholders of record on October 6, 2026.
