Keysight Technologies reported robust second-quarter results, with revenue and earnings per share exceeding the high end of its guidance. The company's strong performance was driven by increased demand in high-speed networking and data centers, as well as a resurgence in wireless demand related to 5G-Advanced and early 6G developments.

Keysight's Communications Solutions Group (CSG) saw a 9% year-on-year increase in revenues to $913 million, while its Electronic Industrial Solutions Group (EISG) experienced a 5% growth due to increased demand for semiconductor test solutions and general electronics. The company's president and CEO, Satish Dhanasekaran, attributed the strong performance to robust growth in the wireline segment and infrastructure expansion in the data center market. He also noted a steady pace of R&D activity related to 5G-Advanced and early 6G research, as well as investments in Non-Terrestrial Networks.

Keysight has diversified its supply chain over the past few years, reducing its exposure to China amid continued uncertainty about tariffs. The company expects its revenues for the third fiscal quarter of 2025 to be between $1.305 billion and $1.325 billion, reflecting its upbeat outlook for the rest of the year.
