In your article "Is Agilent Technologies Worth Another Look?" you compared it to other companies such as Dolby Laboratories and Itron. These companies beat Agilent in most of the comparison criteria you listed. This was a terribly flawed comparison since these companies cover less then a third of the industries Agilent technologies covers. Half of Agilent's revenue comes from their electronic test and measurement group (EMG). This industry was hit hard by the downturn, but is making a strong comeback with devices like smartphones becoming incredibly popular. The companies you compared Agilent to do not have any portfolio in the electronic test measurement industry so they did not suffer in the downturn as much as Agilent. As the wireless and semiconductor industry make a comeback these next couple years, Agilent will take in a lot of revenue and profit that will allow it to aggressively grow, through acquisitions, into adjacent high growth industries.
