MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Agilent Technologies
Bull Case

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Agilent Technologies, Inc.:

Agilent Technologies, Inc. has set its FY 2026 guidance at an EPS range of 6.000-6.100, indicating strong expected earnings growth which can attract investors looking for profitability.
The company recently announced a quarterly dividend of $0.255 per share, translating to an annualized dividend of $1.02, which provides a yield of approximately 0.7%. This can be appealing for income-focused investors.
Agilent Technologies, Inc. has a relatively low dividend payout ratio of 20.48%, suggesting that the company retains a significant portion of its earnings for reinvestment, which can support future growth.
The current stock price is around $720, reflecting the company's strong market position and investor confidence, which can be a positive indicator for potential investors.
With a focus on life sciences, diagnostics, and applied chemical markets, Agilent Technologies, Inc. is well-positioned in sectors that are expected to grow, making it an attractive option for long-term investment.

Agilent Technologies
Bear Case
