About Keysight Technologies Inc.
About Keysight Technologies Inc.
Keysight Technologies generated $5.4 billion in revenue in fiscal 2025, serving customers across more than 100 countries through two segments: the Communications Solutions Group, covering wireless, wireline data center, and aerospace/defense markets, and the Electronic Industrial Solutions Group, covering automotive, semiconductor, and general electronics. The company invested $1,007 million in R&D that year and, in October 2025, acquired Spirent Communications alongside two EDA software businesses from Synopsys and Ansys.
Keysight's revenue derives from hardware instruments — signal analyzers, network analyzers, oscilloscopes, and power analyzers — bundled with software applications and services including calibration, repair, and engineering consulting via Keysight Global Services. The primary demand driver is R&D-phase engineering: new standards cycles including 5G, 6G, 800Gb/s Ethernet, commercial satellite, and AI data center interconnect require continuous tool refresh as chipmakers, network equipment manufacturers, and defense contractors validate designs. The company operates an in-house semiconductor fab and proprietary packaging centers; software engineering now constitutes the majority of R&D headcount, reflecting a push toward recurring subscription and license revenue. No single customer accounts for more than 10% of revenue, and the channel mix combines a direct global sales force with indirect partners and e-commerce.

Export controls and China tariffs both appear in the 10-K as named operational risks. Some customers and suppliers have been added to the U.S. Department of Commerce's "Lists of Parties of Concern," forcing suspension of those relationships, and the filing notes certain counterparties develop unique solutions that may be irreplaceable on short notice. Tariff escalation on Chinese imports began in the second quarter of fiscal 2025, affecting customers and suppliers with China ties. Accounting operations are also centralized in India and Malaysia, adding geographic operational dependency.
