Keysight Technologies Rebounds to $305.64 Amid Valuation Concerns
Keysight Technologies shares climbed 4.9% on November 11 to $305.64, continuing a volatile swing as valuation models flash mixed signals.
On November 11, 2026, shares of Keysight Technologies Inc rose 4.9% to reach $305.64. The move comes as the stock navigates a volatile period, having traded between a 52-week low of $167.23 and a 52-week high of $389.93. The recent increase followed a 6.2% rise on November 9, which lifted the price to $288.97 after shares had previously dropped to $260.61 on November 5.
The recent advance has renewed attention on the company's valuation. According to GuruFocus, Keysight's price of $305.64 sits 32.9% above its GF Value estimate of $230.02, earning a classification of significantly overvalued. The platform reported a price-to-earnings ratio of 42.1x, which stands above the company's five-year median P/E of 30.8x. GuruFocus assigned the stock an overall GF Score of 86 out of 100, citing strong profitability and growth ratings of 8 out of 10, offset by a weaker valuation mark of 5 out of 10.
A separate fundamental analysis from ChartMill highlighted an alternative view through an affordable growth framework, awarding Keysight an overall fundamental score of 7 out of 10. ChartMill noted that the stock's P/E of 27.16 was cheaper than 60.83% of its industry peers, with a forward P/E of 19.15 aligning closely with the S&P 500 forward average of 20.22. It also pointed to forecast annual earnings per share growth of 20.81% and forecast revenue growth of 12.85%, following prior-year EPS expansion of 45.43% and revenue gains of 25.54%.
ChartMill also emphasized solid underlying financial health, including an operating margin of 20.25%, a gross margin of 64.69%, and an Altman-Z score of 7.12. However, the report flagged risks, noting that Keysight's return on invested capital of 10.07% sits below its cost of capital and trails the industry average three-year ROIC of 22.15%. Additionally, the company does not pay a dividend.

Conversely, corporate insiders have sold $33.4 million worth of shares over the past 12 months without recording any open-market purchases.
