Keysight Technologies (ISIN US49338L1035) was trading at USD 378.80 on the NYSE on October 7, 2026, at 10:32 a.m. ET, down 2.38 percent from USD 381.39. The move came as ELE Times reported a Keysight collaboration that demonstrated broadband semiconductor measurements from near DC to 250 GHz in a single sweep.

One sweep reaches 250 GHz

The project brings together Keysight, the University of Glasgow, the National Physical Laboratory and MPI Corporation for on-wafer characterization of indium phosphide transistors. The setup combines a Keysight PNA-X Vector Network Analyzer, a 250 GHz frequency extender and precision source-measure equipment, according to ELE Times.

The technical result matters because a single probe touchdown replaces multiple setup changes and calibrations. That directly addresses measurement complexity as semiconductor development moves toward millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz frequencies.

Revenue grew 36.5 percent

Keysight's fiscal third quarter ended July 31, 2026, with revenue of USD 1.85 billion, up 36.5 percent from the year-ago quarter, while non-GAAP earnings per share reached USD 3.07 versus consensus of USD 2.48, MarketBeat reported.

The latest quarter also showed the scale behind the current valuation. Keysight generated USD 397 million in GAAP net income and USD 437 million in operating cash flow for fiscal Q3 2026, while the company carried USD 2.61 billion in cash and USD 1.82 billion in long-term debt at July 31, 2026.

Consensus remains above the price

MarketBeat lists a Moderate Buy consensus from 14 analysts, including one Strong Buy, 11 Buys and two Holds, with an average target of USD 401.42. That target lies 5.97 percent above the USD 378.80 price, keeping analyst expectations above the intraday quotation.

Stock remains near yearly high
