How Does Agilent Technologies Rank Among All SEC Filers in Its Industry Code?

20 companies with annual reports in Swoopr's SEC dataset share SIC code 3826 (Laboratory Analytical Instruments), a wider group than the S&P 500 Equal Weight companies above. Ranks run from 1 (highest) and use each company's latest fiscal year, in U.S. dollars.

MeasureAgilent TechnologiesMedian of filersRank
Revenue$6.9 billion$181 million1 of 20
Revenue growth6.7%2.9%6 of 20
Operating margin21.3%-20.0%2 of 19
Net margin18.8%-7.4%6 of 20

A SIC code reflects the filer's main business as the SEC records it, so the group mixes companies of very different size; the median is a better guide than the average, and a rank near the top by revenue says nothing about quality.

Where These Numbers Come From

Every figure on this page is a value Agilent Technologies reported in its own SEC filings, read from the SEC's XBRL data (accession 0001090872-25-000087 for fiscal year 2025). Ratios are computed from those reported values. Figures were retrieved on October 7, 2026; a later amendment or a new annual report can change them, and the filing itself always takes precedence over this summary.

Each fiscal year is labeled by the calendar year in which it ended, so a company that names the same period differently in its own filings (many retailers whose year ends in January) may use another label. A year is left out of the table when the SEC data set holds no value for it. A figure shown as "Not reported" means the company did not file a value under the standard tag Swoopr reads, not that the amount was zero. This page is educational and describes reported history only; it is not a forecast or a recommendation.
