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.

Keysight Technologies
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

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

  • The company recently announced the Velocity 4900 Series, a new line of cost-effective Layer 1 automation switches designed to transform and automate physical connectivity in network test labs, which directly supports the modernization of infrastructure for AI and 6G applications.
  • Keysight Technologies, Inc. reported strong financial performance in its most recent quarter, with revenue of $1.85 billion, which exceeded analyst estimates of $1.75 billion and represented a 36.5% year-over-year increase, demonstrating robust demand for its electronic design and test solutions.
  • The stock is currently trading at $381.77, a level that reflects significant recent momentum as the company hit a new 52-week high of $389.93, indicating strong market confidence in its growth trajectory and execution.
  • Wall Street analysts have shown increasing optimism, with Goldman Sachs raising its price target to $487 and UBS boosting its target to $440, contributing to a consensus rating of Moderate Buy with an average target price of $392.83, suggesting potential for further upside.
  • The company is expanding its software capabilities by adding agentic AI tools to its RF design software, such as ADS 2027, which enhances its competitive position in the electronic design automation market and provides additional value to its customer base.

Keysight Technologies
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Keysight Technologies, Inc. for these reasons:

  • The company's price-to-earnings ratio stands at 52.44, which is significantly higher than the broader market average, suggesting that the stock may be overvalued relative to its current earnings power and leaving little room for error in future performance.
  • There has been consistent insider selling activity, with CEO Satish Dhanasekaran selling 3,000 shares at an average price of $364.13 in late September 2026, and other executives like CFO Neil Dougherty also reducing their positions, which can signal a lack of confidence from those closest to the company.
  • The stock has experienced a recent decline of $6.26 from the previous close of $388.03 to the current price of $381.77, indicating short-term volatility and potential profit-taking by investors after a significant run-up in share price.
  • Despite strong revenue growth, the company's net margin of 19.08% and return on equity of 24.34% may face pressure if the high costs associated with developing advanced AI and 6G testing technologies do not translate into proportionate profit increases.
  • The high beta of 1.17 indicates that the stock is more volatile than the overall market, meaning investors may experience larger price swings in both directions, which can be risky for those with lower risk tolerance.
