Keysight Technologies stock closed at USD 322.04 on the New York Stock Exchange on September 16, 2026, gaining 2.8 percent from the prior session. The advance came as the shares outperformed the tech-heavy Nasdaq Composite, which was virtually unchanged on the same day.
September 16, 2026 in numbers
Keysight Technologies Inc. (ISIN US49338L1035, NYSE: KEYS) ended the September 16, 2026 session at USD 322.04, with the price sitting within the day’s intraday range reported around mid-September by market data providers. Per recent quote data, the stock’s movement on that day translated into a 2.8 percent daily gain, and it has risen about 0.8 percent over the past four weeks to that closing level, according to Yahoo Finance. In the same session, the Nasdaq Composite closed at 25,978.43 with a marginal loss of 3.15 points, effectively flat on the day, as reported by Zacks, underscoring Keysight’s relative strength versus the broader tech benchmark.
The recent performance followed a period in which Keysight shares had declined 11.1 percent over three months even as artificial-intelligence related test demand and fiscal third-quarter revenues grew strongly, with revenues up 36 percent year over year and non-GAAP earnings per share rising 79 percent, according to a performance review published by Zacks. That backdrop, together with analysts highlighting a potential near-term rally of about 29.9 percent from the USD 322.04 close based on short-term price targets, has kept the stock in focus for investors assessing its trajectory in advanced test and measurement markets, as noted by Yahoo Finance.
Today’s drivers and upcoming dates
Today, September 18, 2026, Keysight enters the US session without a scheduled quarterly earnings release but still under the influence of recent guidance and analyst commentary. For the current fiscal fourth quarter, Keysight has guided revenues to a range of USD 1.93 billion to USD 1.95 billion, according to an outlook article from Zacks, and investors will continue to track how incoming macro and sector data align with that range. Broader market signals today include the recent flat close of the Nasdaq Composite at 25,978.43 on September 16, 2026, per Zacks, which frames Keysight’s latest move against a generally steady tech backdrop as the stock heads into today’s opening bell.
