To me, Agilent Technologies (A) is a very interesting company. It is a healthcare company, but it is also part technology company. In fact, Yahoo Finance labels the company as a healthcare company while Investor's Business Daily labels the company as an electronics company within the scientific measuring group. The Santa Clara-based firm is set to report earnings after the closing bell on Wednesday, and analysts are expecting modest growth on a year-over-year basis.
Analysts expect Agilent to report $0.72 per share for the fiscal third quarter, and that would mean a 7.5% increase
