On May 27, Keysight Technologies fell 3.13% in regular trading, trading at $346.755/share, with trading volume of approximately $79.70 million. The decline reflects a continuation of profit-taking pressure following the company's strong fiscal Q2 earnings report released on May 19.
Keysight reported adjusted earnings per share of $2.87, beating the analyst consensus estimate of $2.32 by 23.71% and representing a 68.82% year-over-year increase. Revenue came in at $1.717 billion, slightly above the expected $1.706 billion. Despite the strong results, the stock has exhibited a classic \"sell the news\" pattern — rising 5.2% in after-hours trading on May 19, then reversing to fall 4.1% on May 20 and another 3.01% on May 21 as profit-taking dominated.
Multiple analysts have raised price targets following the results, with JP Morgan adjusting to $390 and Baird to $385, both maintaining Outperform ratings. Morgan Stanley highlighted AI revenue growth exceeding 100% year-over-year in H1, alongside 24% growth in aerospace and defense. However, short-term selling pressure continues to outweigh bullish institutional sentiment given the stock's significant run-up prior to the earnings window.
