Keysight Technologies, Inc: Riding The AI Wave, Or Wading Through Murky Waters?

  • While Keysight is well-positioned for secular growth (6G, AI), the current stock price may already reflect much of this future optimism, limiting the immediate upside. Keysight's stock (around $161.74) appears to have a high forward P/E of 24x, potentially outpacing its "gradual recovery" forecast. The pending Spirent LSA acquisition (closing Q3'25) offers software growth potential but also brings integration complexities and execution risks to watch closely.
