From Agilent Technologies's 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC; its fiscal year ends in October. Each period shows the latest figure the company has reported for it, including restatements. Net margin is our own calculation from those reported figures (net income ÷ revenue); it is left blank where revenue is zero or missing. † Quarter derived from the company's year-to-date or full-year totals. Filings on SEC EDGAR →
Agilent Technologies's latest reported figures next to the median of the other 59 S&P 500 Health Care companies and of the other 502 S&P 500 companies; each median is taken over the companies with a comparable figure (counts in the footnote). A median is the middle value, not an average, so one very large company does not move it.

| Revenue growth, latest fiscal year | +6.7% | +7.2% | +7.0% |

Agilent Technologies: fiscal year ended October 2025, from its 10-K and 10-Q filings with the SEC. Medians computed October 21, 2026 from each company's latest annual filing (fiscal years ending between July 2025 and September 2026) and our price archive. Prices for every company, Agilent Technologies included, were fetched between 10:06 and 10:15 ET on October 21, 2026; the 1-year change compares that price with each company's last close on or before October 21, 2025. Net margin and price change are our calculations from reported figures. Each median counts only the companies with a comparable figure (sector / S&P 500): revenue growth 59/496, net margin 59/496, dividend per share 32/349, 1-year price change 59/490; the reasons below can overlap. 12 are left out of the price figure because our archive holds no comparable close for them; dividend medians are among the 32 sector and 349 S&P 500 companies reporting a per-share dividend. The S&P 500 price figure is the middle company's change, not the index's return.
