After the transition, the Electronic Industrial Solutions Group will report to Kailash Narayanan while continuing as a separately reported financial segment.

Keysight said it is not updating its previously provided outlook for the fourth fiscal quarter of 2026 and described demand across its end markets as strong. The company will publish results for the quarter and fiscal year ended October 31 after the US market close on Thursday, November 19.

The conference call is scheduled for 4:30 p.m. Eastern Time. Investors will focus on demand, execution and the outlook for fiscal 2027 as the finance leadership transition approaches.
