Keysight Technologies (KEYS.N)

Raising TP to $400 on Strong FY27 Set-Up

CITI'S TAKE

KEYS’s Jul-Q results exceeded expectations as AI demand intensifies, and

momentum continues across the business. Accelerating, double-digit

growth in all segments and a 2nd consecutive quarter of record >$2B in

orders are supporting >30% outlook for FY26 sales growth. With a funnel

that continues to build and more long-term visibility from customers,

management believes demand is sustainable in FY27. In addition, higher

volumes, acquisition synergies, and portfolio rationalization, are driving

higher, durable levels of profitability. We raise our FY26/27/28 EPS by

13%/13%/14% on higher sales outlook and stronger margins. Our new $400

TP reflects a 28x multiple, vs 35x prior, of FY28 EPS to reflect KEYS 1-year

average and lower market multiples. Maintain Buy.
