Agilent Technologies stock (US00846U1016) traded at USD 156.47 on September 20, 2026, with a market capitalization of USD 44.11 billion and a 52-week range of USD 110.24 to USD 158.93. The shares were still below the 52-week high after a run that left little room before the annual peak.

August 26 set the tone

On August 26, Yahoo Finance said Agilent reported revenue of USD 1.88 billion for the quarter ended July 31, up 8.1 percent from a year earlier. The same report said non-GAAP earnings per share rose 18 percent and full-year non-GAAP EPS guidance was lifted to USD 6.18 to USD 6.21.

For investors, that mix matters more than the launch itself: revenue growth, rising EPS and a narrower guidance band point to operating leverage after the July 31 quarter.

What the market is pricing

The latest quote leaves Agilent Technologies stock 1.47 percent below its 52-week high of USD 158.93 and 42.05 percent above its 52-week low of USD 110.24. That gap keeps the shares close to the top of the range without setting a fresh high.

Agilent's September 20 market value of USD 44.11 billion gives the stock a large-cap valuation base, while the July 31 quarter still anchors the current earnings story. The most concrete comparison remains the 8.1 percent revenue increase and the 18 percent rise in non-GAAP EPS.

Range and valuation

Agilent Technologies stock closed the week near its annual ceiling, but the stronger signal is the updated full-year EPS band of USD 6.18 to USD 6.21 after the July 31 quarter. The next check point for the market is whether that range survives the coming reporting cycle.
