On May 21, Keysight Technologies fell 3.01% in regular trading, trading at 332.02 USD/share, with trading volume of approximately $257 million.
On the news front, the company reported fiscal Q2 results on May 19 after hours, delivering adjusted EPS of $2.87, far exceeding the consensus estimate of $2.32 and representing a 68.82% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $1.717 billion, slightly above the expected $1.706 billion. The company achieved all-time highs in orders, revenue, EPS, and free cash flow.
Despite the strong beat, shares exhibited a classic sell-the-news pattern. After initially rising 5.2% in after-hours trading and 3.03% in pre-market on May 20, the stock reversed sharply during regular trading, falling 4.1%. The current decline extends that profit-taking pressure. Notably, both JPMorgan and Baird raised their price targets to $390 and $385 respectively, maintaining Outperform ratings, while Morgan Stanley highlighted AI revenue growth exceeding 100% year-over-year and broadening strength across aerospace, defense, and semiconductor markets.
