What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of KEYS's valuation, growth and risks.
On earnings, Keysight Technologies, Inc. (KEYS) is valued at 42.59 times, against a median of 35.1 for Technology: a premium to peers, with the P/E 21.4% above that median. The price-to-sales ratio of 8.43 sits 11.0% above the sector median of 7.6. The company has a market capitalisation of $55.5B and trailing earnings of $7.39 a share.
KEYS is growing faster than its peers: year on year, revenue rose 36.50% in the latest quarter, while the sector median is 24.2%. Its net margin stands at 19.14% and its operating margin at 25.68%. Return on equity of 20.90% is above the sector median of 13.4%. On the balance sheet, debt-to-equity is 0.42.
KEYS reported results on August 18, 2026 that beat the estimate by 23.79%. EPS came in at $3.07, against the $2.48 analysts had expected. Even so, the shares fell 6.32% in the next session.
KEYS has topped the EPS estimate in all 8 of its recent reports, yet the share price finished lower in the next session after 5 of those 8 beats. Back at the February 23, 2026 report, the stock climbed 23.05% the following session after beating by 8.50%. Analysts now forecast EPS of $11.47 for this fiscal year, a rise of 60.3%, and $13.93 for the next, a rise of 21.4%.
KEYS moves about 2.64% on an average day, and its beta against the S&P 500 is 1.18. Its P/E of 44.12 sits 25.7% above the sector median, which places it at a premium to peers, so any weaker results would face a higher bar. The price is 16.38% below its 52-week high of $389.93. Over the last 18 months insiders sold $37.3M of stock and bought $45K. Insider sales are often planned in advance or made to cover taxes on vesting shares, so they carry less weight than open-market purchases would.

CleaRank Financial AI analysis of KEYS
The score, the reasoning behind it, and what could move the price next.
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (KEYS) shows a mixed trend. The stock trades at $326.04, which is 4.50% below its 50-day average of $341.41, yet 3.72% above its 200-day average of $314.35. Near the top of its 52-week range, the price is 16.38% below the high of $389.93 and 97.53% above the low of $165.06. The 50-day average sits 8.61% above the 200-day, so the longer averages have not yet caught up with the softer price.
A recent pullback sits inside a stronger longer record: the price fell 9.97% over the past month, rose 3.94% over the past three months and rose 92.39% over the past year. The 14-day RSI of 41.1 is in the neutral zone, and the MACD line is negative.

Earnings beat, but the stock fell ›
The August 18, 2026 report beat the EPS estimate by 23.79%, and the share price fell 6.32% in the first session after it.
Source: Earnings report, August 18, 2026
- The two levels to track are the 50-day SMA at $341.41, which sits above the price, and the 200-day SMA at $314.35, which sits below it.
- The 14-day RSI reads 41.1, in the neutral zone, with the MACD line negative; readings above 70 or below 30 mark stretched momentum.
- The share price dropped 6.32% in the first session after the August 18, 2026 report. Across the last 8 reports, KEYS has beaten estimates each time.
The trend is mixed: KEYS is above its 200-day average at $314.35 but below its 50-day average at $341.41. A close above the 50-day would turn both signals up, and a close below the 200-day would turn both down. The nearest levels are the 200-day SMA at $314.35 below and the 50-day SMA at $341.41 above.
