Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A) — point-in-time snapshot (as of Oct 6, 2026)

The stock closed at $171.29 on Oct 5, 2026 [6], roughly a month after its last earnings report, during which shares rose about 9.6%, outpacing the S&P 500 [1]. Market capitalization is ~$48.3B (internal record); sector/industry is Healthcare/Diagnostics & Research (internal). The 52-week high referenced in August was $160.51 [2], and Agilent now trades above that level. As the sources themselves note, conventional fundamental analysis still weighs metrics like P/E, dividend yield and ROE [LIB-2], and news/announcements remain a key predictive driver [LIB-3].
