Agilent Technologies stock (ISIN US00846U1016) closed at USD 167.83 on the NYSE on October 2, 2026, up 0.69 percent for the session. The latest fiscal third-quarter results give the valuation a clear operating anchor: revenue reached USD 1.88 billion, while adjusted EPS came in at USD 1.62.

Quarterly beat supports guidance

According to MarketBeat on October 3, 2026, Agilent reported quarterly adjusted EPS of USD 1.62 against USD 1.49 consensus and revenue of USD 1.88 billion against USD 1.84 billion expected. Revenue increased 8.1 percent from the comparable quarter, while the EPS beat amounted to USD 0.13.

The company set fiscal fourth-quarter adjusted EPS guidance at USD 1.710-1.740 and fiscal-year 2026 guidance at USD 6.180-6.210, according to MarketBeat. The comparison matters because the reported quarter delivered both year-over-year growth and a positive variance against consensus, while the full-year range points to continued earnings execution.

Consensus target sits above the stock

The analyst picture remains constructive but measured. MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus from 20 analysts, comprising one Strong Buy, 14 Buy ratings and five Hold ratings.

The average target is USD 170.33, with a high of USD 190.00 and a low of USD 135.00. The average target lies 1.5 percent above the October 2 price, a modest gap that places execution and the next guidance update ahead of broad valuation expansion.

Business Wire reported on September 16, 2026, that the dividend is payable on October 28, 2026, to shareholders of record on October 6, 2026.
