Keysight Technologies (ISIN US49338L1035) was trading at EUR 300.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:40 a.m. CEST as the test-equipment maker extended its 1.6T data-center portfolio. According to Morningstar on October 14, 2026, Keysight announced the FITS-16CH system for digital-layer error-performance validation across optical, active-copper and passive-copper interconnects.

Sixteen channels target faster validation

The latest system has 16 transmit and 16 receive channels, twice the channel density of FITS-8CH. Keysight listed the announcement alongside a 1.6T Ethernet platform released on October 13, 2026 and a PCIe 7.0 protocol-testing solution dated October 12, 2026.

The chronology shows a clear product sequence. On October 12, 2026, Keysight introduced PCIe 7.0 testing up to 128 GT/s; on October 13, 2026, it announced an AresONE Plus platform with eight 1.6T Ethernet ports; on October 14, 2026, FITS-16CH added 16 transmit and 16 receive channels. The figures point to broader coverage of AI infrastructure links rather than a single instrument launch.

What does the earnings date add?

The next scheduled reporting date is November 23, 2026, after the market close, according to Gekko. The latest reported quarter, ended July 31, 2026, produced USD 1.85 billion in revenue, up 36.50 percent year over year, while adjusted earnings per share reached USD 3.07 against a USD 2.48 consensus estimate, according to MarketBeat.

The same MarketBeat report said Goldman Sachs raised its target from USD 452.00 to USD 487.00 on October 6, 2026. That target sits 61.94 percent above the Lang & Schwarz euro price only if currencies are converted, so the comparison is not used here; the target remains separate from the German quote.

Product breadth meets a high valuation

Keysight's market capitalization was USD 56.4 billion as of October 16, 2026, with a USD 161.16 to USD 389.93 52-week range. Its October 16, 2026 NYSE quote closed at USD 331.21, placing the latest valuation between the 50-day average of USD 343.86 and the 200-day average of USD 310.79, according to Gekko.

Quote and next catalyst

For investors, the immediate question is whether the 1.6T product cadence can support the revenue growth already visible in the July quarter. The next scheduled results on November 23, 2026 will provide the next quantified test of that demand.

Keysight Technologies was trading at EUR 300.68 at Lang & Schwarz on October 19, 2026 at 9:40 a.m. CEST.
