Keysight Technologies: Strong Performance and Positive Outlook Justify Buy Rating

Keysight Technologies (KEYS – Research Report), the Technology sector company, was revisited by a Wall Street analyst today. Analyst Meta Marshall from Morgan Stanley maintained a Buy rating on the stock and has a $180.00 price target.

Meta Marshall has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that highlight Keysight Technologies’ strong performance and positive outlook. The company has demonstrated resilience in the face of tariff-related challenges, with expectations to mitigate these impacts by the end of the fiscal year. This, coupled with a robust demand across major segments, particularly in communications and aerospace and defense, supports the Buy rating.
Keysight Technologies’ recent financial results exceeded expectations, with notable strength in commercial communications and a positive trend in order growth. The company’s ability to maintain pricing power and control expenses, despite tariff headwinds, positions it favorably against peers. These elements, along with the anticipation of continued demand recovery over the next 12 months, underpin the optimistic outlook and the decision to maintain an overweight position on the stock.

According to TipRanks, Marshall is a 4-star analyst with an average return of 6.8% and a 58.27% success rate. Marshall covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Keysight Technologies, Pure Storage, and Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
