<p>Keysight Technologies delivered strong second-quarter results for the period ended April 30, 2025, with revenue reaching $1.31 billion compared to $1.22 billion in the same quarter last year, representing a 7% year-over-year increase. The company’s <a href="https://tokenist.com/investing/how-to-value-a-stock/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">non-GAAP earnings per share</a> climbed to $1.70, up from $1.41 in Q2 2024, significantly surpassing analyst estimates.</p>
<p>“Keysight delivered strong second quarter results with revenue and earnings per share above the high end of guidance. This quarter’s performance underscores the strength of our long-term strategy, deep customer engagement and disciplined execution,” said Satish Dhanasekaran, Keysight’s President and CEO.</p>
<p>The company’s performance was particularly strong in its Communications Solutions Group (CSG), which reported revenue of $913 million, up 9% from the prior year. This growth reflected balanced 9% increases in both commercial communications and aerospace, defense, and government segments. Meanwhile, the Electronic Industrial Solutions Group (EISG) posted revenue of $393 million, up 5% year-over-year, driven by growth in semiconductor and general electronics, partially offset by declines in automotive and energy sectors.</p>
<p>Keysight’s free cash flow showed remarkable improvement, reaching $457 million compared to $74 million in the second quarter of 2024. As of April 30, 2025, the company’s cash and cash equivalents totaled $3.12 billion.</p>
