Keysight Earnings: In-Line Result as Communications Softness Again Offset by Automotive Strength

Analyst Note

| William Kerwin |

We maintain our $175 fair value estimate for wide-moat Keysight Technologies shares after fiscal second-quarter results bore no large surprises. Communications sales continue to stagnate amid a soft spending environment at commercial customers and weak consumer demand. Government and automotive markets remain bright spots that are helping to offset commercial communications weakness. Fiscal second-quarter profitability meaningfully beat our expectations from positive mix that we think will be short-lived. Still, we see a path to these strong margins longer-term, and make no changes to our positive growth expectations for Keysight and its comprehensive portfolio for communications testing. Shares have approached our fair value, popping 8% upon the release, which we believe is due to alleviation of fear that demand might weaken further. We see shares as fairly valued now.

KEYS’s stock style is Mid Core.
Style is an investment factor that has a meaningful impact on investment risk and returns. Style is calculated by combining value and growth scores, which are first individually calculated.

High-growth stocks tend to represent the technology, healthcare, and communications sectors. They rarely distribute dividends to shareholders, opting for reinvestment in their businesses. More value-oriented stocks tend to represent financial services, utilities, and energy stocks. These are established companies that reliably pay dividends.
