Published on 08/19/2026 at 14:15 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Keysight Technologies (US49338L1035) gained after fiscal third-quarter results showed $1.846 billion in revenue, $3.07 in non-GAAP EPS, and $2.091 billion in orders for the quarter ended July 31, 2026.
Q3 beat and outlook
The company said revenue rose 36% year over year, while non-GAAP EPS increased 79% and orders climbed 56% on a reported basis, a combination that points to stronger demand in data-center and test equipment spending. Keysight also lifted fourth-quarter guidance to $1.93 billion to $1.95 billion in revenue and $3.34 to $3.40 in non-GAAP EPS.
That outlook is the key comparison for investors because the midpoint implies 37% revenue growth for the next quarter and a further step up from the $1.846 billion just reported.
Market reaction
Shares were last quoted at $341.35, down $19.80 on the session, after the earnings release and outlook update. Market capitalization stood at $58.34 billion, with the stock trading well below the session range implied by the recent move.
Consensus cited in the same coverage pointed to $2.48 in adjusted EPS on $1.75 billion in revenue for the quarter, so the reported numbers came in ahead on both lines.
Product line
Keysight's electronic design, testing, and simulation tools remain tied to chipmakers, telecom operators, and automakers, with the latest quarter highlighting demand in high-speed wired and data-center applications.
Shares and valuation
Keysight stock trades on Nasdaq in USD, and the recent figures place the move against a 52-week backdrop that investors will now parse through the raised fiscal 2026 outlook.
