Description: KEYS Keysight Technologies October 14, 2025
Keysight Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: KEYS) designs and manufactures electronic test and measurement equipment, serving customers worldwide through two operating segments: the Communications Solutions Group and the Electronic Industrial Solutions Group.
The Communications Solutions Group focuses on test hardware and software for wireless, 5G, and network-infrastructure markets, offering products such as spectrum analyzers, protocol analyzers, wireless drive-test systems, and cloud-based network-security testing platforms.
The Electronic Industrial Solutions Group targets broader electronic-design and test applications, supplying oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, power meters, LCR meters, arbitrary waveform generators, and a suite of automation and workflow software that integrates instrument control and data analysis.
Beyond hardware, Keysight provides a full services portfolio-including technical support, training, system integration, and calibration-to help customers accelerate product development cycles and maintain compliance with industry standards.
In its most recent fiscal year (2023), Keysight reported revenue of approximately $5.9 billion, with an operating margin near 23 % and a free-cash-flow conversion rate of roughly 70 % of net income, reflecting strong pricing power in high-growth test markets.
Key economic drivers for the company include the ongoing global semiconductor capital-expenditure surge (estimated at >$800 billion in 2024) and the rapid rollout of 5G and edge-computing infrastructure, both of which boost demand for high-precision test solutions.
Sector-level trends such as increasing regulatory scrutiny of wireless emissions and the rise of AI-driven design automation are also expanding the addressable market for Keysight’s software-enabled test platforms.
