Earnings Call Q2 2026
May 19, 2026 - AI Summary
Q2 was record-setting across the board (good): Orders $2.05B (+56% YoY reported; +48% core) and revenue $1.72B (+31% YoY reported; +24% core); EPS $2.87 (or $2.58 ex-tariff items, +52% YoY). Free cash flow: $472M (record) with $501M cash from operations. Gross margin 72.3% reported (adjusted 67.6% excluding tariff items, +300 bps).
Tariff-related accounting impact (bad / one-time): Following a U.S. Supreme Court decision validating certain IEA/Tariff items, the company recorded tariff refund impacts in Q2: $40M revenue reduction and $97M cost/expense reduction. Management also states that excluding these one-time impacts, operating performance was stronger (e.g., EPS and gross margin improved materially).
Guidance: solid sequential profile + raised FY confidence (surprising/positive):
- Q3 FY26 revenue: $1.73B–$1.75B (+29% YoY at midpoint).
- Q3 EPS: $2.43–$2.49 (+43% YoY at midpoint).
- For FY26, Keysight now expects revenue growth in the “high-20s%” range (upward confidence driven by pipeline/visibility from H1 and expectations for stronger H2). They also expect a historically typical sequential revenue increase into Q4.
