Agilent Overview
Originally a 1999 spin-off of Hewlett-Packard, Agilent Technologies (A) is an established life sciences and diagnostics company operating out of Santa Clara, CA. Agilent underwent its own spin-off of Keysight Technologies (KEYS) in 2014, separating out technical and electronic instrumentation and leaving Agilent as a pure-play healthcare company. Mr. Mike McMullen was appointed Agilent CEO in March 2015, although he has been with the company since 1984. Given the significant changes in the 2014-15 time frame, this article will focus primarily on Agilent from 2015 going forward.
