Keysight Technologies stock closed at USD 347.31 on the NYSE on September 22, 2026, gaining 1.54 percent from the prior close. The move followed fiscal third-quarter results that exceeded consensus and kept the shares near their 52-week high of USD 374.96.
Revenue reaches USD 1.85 billion
For fiscal Q3 2026, Keysight Technologies reported adjusted earnings per share of USD 3.07, above the USD 2.48 consensus estimate. Revenue reached USD 1.85 billion, compared with expectations of USD 1.75 billion, while year-over-year growth was 36.5 percent, according to MarketBeat on September 23, 2026.
The comparison is material for the valuation: quarterly EPS was USD 1.35 above consensus, while revenue exceeded expectations by USD 100 million. Keysight also reported a 19.08 percent net margin for the same quarter, giving investors a profitability measure alongside the faster top-line growth.
UBS raises target to USD 440
According to Investing.com on September 23, 2026, UBS raised its Keysight price target to USD 440 from USD 420 and maintained a Buy rating. The revised target is based on UBS fiscal 2028 earnings estimate of USD 17.10 per share.
The next quantified test is fiscal Q4 2026 guidance. Keysight expects adjusted EPS of USD 3.34 to USD 3.40 and revenue between USD 1.93 billion and USD 1.95 billion, above the reported fiscal Q3 revenue of USD 1.85 billion. That outlook makes execution against the next quarter's revenue range more important than the single-day price gain.
Shares remain below the yearly high
Keysight stock traded within a September 22 range of USD 338.98 to USD 348.60 and recorded volume of 887,398 shares. Its 52-week range was USD 158.79 to USD 374.96, while market capitalization stood at USD 59.13 billion, according to the dated market snapshot from MarketBeat on September 23, 2026.
At USD 347.31, the stock remained USD 27.65 below the 52-week high and USD 188.52 above the low. The combination of a 36.5 percent quarterly revenue increase and a valuation near USD 59.13 billion leaves the next earnings update as the key numerical checkpoint.
