Kim BoltonKeysight Technologies Inc.KEYSTOP PICKMay 06, 2026
On the platform part of quantum -- middle part of the stack -- helps quantum make inferences. A measurement company, so it's one of the major players testing chips before they get rolled out.
His 12-month price target is $403. May seem pricey, but keep it on your radar. Buy in thirds here, at $340, and at $320. No dividend.
12-month price target of $188, so not much runway left. Digitalized-measurement type of company. Not much competition. Better companies with longer runways elsewhere.
Treading water. Another technology-measurement company. Caters to the natural resource area such as oil & gas. His 12-month price target is $173; less an investable stock, and more of a tradeable one. See his Top Picks.
Reported last night, took a bit of a beating. Lowered guidance on earnings and revenue. King of measurement for equipment, but especially for commercial communications. Great opportunity to buy an excellent company with a great funnel of business.
Modern-day measurement company. He trimmed after last quarter's difficult earnings, but is still engaged with them. His 12-month price target is $187.70.
Not in his portfolio, but in separately managed accounts. Had a good run. Earnings beat on top and bottom, but shy on guidance. Design and test solutions, measurement in the chip space. Pullback is a terrific place to buy.
Excellent company that has owned in the past.
Recently added to the S&P 500.
Growth in 5G network technology has been good.
Handset sales not as strong, so waiting to see what next catalyst for growth will be.
5G testing instruments. He has bought aggressively in the past but doesn't own now. The company has had a great five year run and he still likes the management and products. However he feels there are better opportunities in the semi-conductor space such as KLA, LAM, Tokyo Electron. He referred both to testing and research in his comments.
Made a decision to move to the sideline a couple months due to concern about reaching the peak of 5G adoption and there will be 6G. If we start to see a moderation in the growth of 5G installations, it might be time to look into other ideas. 5G requires a significant demand in semiconductors. Prefers companies that are more unavoidable in semiconductor manufacturing.
Good company. Testing and selling equipment for electronics. Growing very well. He'd like to see a cheaper valuation, closer to 22-23x earnings. Came through pandemic well. Strong guidance recently.
