About
Keysight Technologies, Inc. is a Santa Rosa, California-based electronic design, test, and measurement solutions company — publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE: KEYS) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — providing hardware instruments, software platforms, and services for designing, testing, and validating electronic systems across 5G/6G wireless, AI data center infrastructure, aerospace and defense, automotive, and quantum computing through approximately 15,500 employees with approximately $5 billion in annual revenue. Keysight's heritage traces to Hewlett-Packard's test and measurement division (founded 1939), which became Agilent Technologies in 1999 and spun off Keysight as an independent company in 2014. In its most recent fiscal quarter, Keysight reported 14% order growth, 10% revenue growth to $1.42 billion, and 16% higher adjusted EPS — its best quarterly performance in two years — driven by demand for AI data center testing, early 6G wireless infrastructure research, and defense electronics modernization, alongside contributions from three major acquisitions completed in October 2024. The company's key acquisitions include Spirent Communications ($1.5 billion, 2024, network test and cybersecurity validation), ESI Group ($1 billion, 2023, electromagnetic simulation), and Ixia ($1.6 billion, 2017, network testing). Keysight's PathWave software platform integrates design simulation, test automation, and analytics workflows into a unified environment that semiconductor and wireless chipset teams use to accelerate development cycles from simulation to hardware validation.
San Francisco design and construction software (NASDAQ: ADSK) $6.1B FY2025 revenue (+12%); AutoCAD/Revit industry standard, 98%+ subscription revenue, Construction Cloud competing with Bentley and Procore.
About
Autodesk, Inc. is a San Francisco, California-based design, engineering, and construction software company — publicly traded on the NASDAQ (NASDAQ: ADSK) as an S&P 500 Information Technology component — developing cloud-based and desktop software for architects, engineers, construction professionals, product designers, media and entertainment creators through industry-specific platforms including AutoCAD (2D/3D computer-aided design), Revit (building information modeling for architects and structural engineers), Civil 3D (infrastructure design for civil engineers), Inventor (3D mechanical CAD for product design), Maya/3ds Max (3D animation and visual effects), and Fusion 360 (cloud-based product design and manufacturing) through approximately 14,000 employees. In fiscal year 2025 (ending January 2025), Autodesk reported revenues of $6.1 billion (+12% year-over-year) with subscription model revenue representing 98%+ of total revenue — completing the company's decade-long transition from perpetual software license sales to annual and multi-year subscription contracts that generate predictable recurring revenue and higher lifetime customer value than one-time license purchases. CEO Andrew Anagnost leads Autodesk's strategy of expanding from design software into a construction platform: Autodesk Construction Cloud (ACC — combining BIM 360, BuildingConnected, PlanGrid, and Assemble Systems into a unified construction project management and collaboration platform) targets the $10+ trillion global construction industry's digital transformation — connecting architects, engineers, contractors, and owners on a single platform from design (Revit/AutoCAD) through construction (ACC document management, RFI workflow, safety management) to facility management (Autodesk Tandem digital twin). Autodesk AI (AI-assisted design generation, Intelligent Model Healing, AutoCAD AI Drafting) integrates generative AI into the design workflow to automate repetitive drafting tasks and provide design optimization suggestions within existing AutoCAD and Revit workflows.
