  • Is Keysight Technologies Overvalued After 26.6% Price Jump?
    February 3, 2026, 3:08 AM EST. Keysight Technologies (KEYS) shares have risen 26.6% in the past year, reaching around $223 per share. Despite this gain, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) analysis values the stock at about $180.69, suggesting it is trading roughly 23.6% above its intrinsic cash flow-based value. Keysight's role in test and measurement solutions in communications and electronics has fueled investor interest. However, the company scores just 1 out of 6 on valuation checks, indicating limited undervaluation signals. Investors should consider these mixed signals and the stock's premium pricing against its projected cash flows before deciding on its value.
