Keysight Technologies Inc (KEYS) Options

Bought back in at these cheap prices.

Wow, KEYS popped over $200.

My old winner sure rallied in 2021.

Great Job!!!

Even Cramer mentioned KEYS the other night.

Looks like the federal government wants to spend big on infrasctructure, including 5G. That's likely why KEYS is up today quite a bit while the rest of the tech sector is struggling.

Keysight with another upgrade.... CFRA upgrades them from a $125 PT to $150

Credit Suisse just recently upgraded them $125 to $175

Out @ 139.85. I would think they could use an upgrade or two before continuing to march higher.

Yes, KEYS is a great company and is in the forefront with 5G.

I took my $$$ and put it into TSLA and so happy I did.

I could have stayed here to get another $35 pop, yet TSLA has given me a $300 pop.

Some day I'll be back to KEYS.

Good luck with your trading.

So naturally a week later it starts an uptrend that lasts till the end of the year.

KEYS is really one of those stocks I should just hold onto rather than trade.

KEYS has really struggled this year.

The future looked very promising, however, we have stayed around the $100 mark for a while and are trading at the same level as August 2019.

It's time to cash in and move on and put the $$$ elsewhere.

I'll continue to follow along and if prospects look better then it will be time to jump back in.

Good luck everyone.

Keysight (KEYS) Beats Q3 Earnings and Revenue Estimates.

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/keysight-keys-beats-q3-earnings-212509242.html

Earnings out on August 20th.

Factors Setting the Tone for Keysight's (KEYS) Q3 Earnings
Zacks Equity Research
August 17, 2020, 9:44 AM
Keysight Technologies, Inc. KEYS is slated to report third-quarter fiscal 2020 results on Aug 20.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is currently pegged at $918.65 million, which indicates a decline of 15.5% from the prior-year quarter.

We note that the Zacks Consensus Estimate for earnings has been revised upward by a penny to 84 cents per share over the past 30 days, suggesting a decline of 32.8% from the year-ago reported figure.

Due to the coronavirus pandemic led business uncertainty, the company did not provide a specific quantitative guidance for third-quarter fiscal 2020. The company expects fiscal third-quarter revenues, earnings, and operating margin to be in line with or better than the fiscal second quarter.

Markedly, the company reported non-GAAP earnings of 78 cents per share and non-GAAP revenues of $895 million in second-quarter fiscal 2020. Non-GAAP operating margin was 19.4%.

Keysight has been improving production and services operations, and anticipated returning to 100% capacity by the end of the fiscal third quarter amid persistent supply chain challenges.

What's in the Offering for Keysight (KEYS) in Q3 Earnings?

Zacks Equity Research
Zacks August 19, 2019

Keysight Technologies Inc. KEYS is scheduled to release third-quarter fiscal 2019 results on Aug 21. Notably, the company has surpassed earnings estimates in the trailing four quarters, with an average beat of 16.1%.

A few excerpts about 5G:

Keysight’s focus on launching solutions for growth markets like 5G, IoT, next-generation wireless, high-speed datacenters and automotive & energy is expected to positively impact the to-be-reported quarter’s top line.

Keysight stated that orders for 5G solutions recorded triple-digit growth year over year in the last reported quarter. In fact, the company boasts of a robust 5G portfolio comprising comprehensive set of test and design solutions enabling telecom companies to accelerate 5G deployment. This buyout is anticipated to bolster the top line in the to-be-reported quarter.

We believe the company’s strength in 5G testing and design solutions hold promise. The collaborations to develop of Open RAN 5G network with companies like AT&T, Xilinx, to name a few, are likely to enable Keysight in proliferating the 5G space. Alliance with Qualcomm Technologies, Inc. QCOM, a subsidiary of Qualcomm remains noteworthy. These deals will help the to-be-reported quarter’s results.
