What stands out

Two insiders sold more than 25% of vested holdings: Ronald Nersesian (26% of holdings, $14.5M, 59% under a disclosed plan) and John Page (49% of holdings, $3.8M, 16% under a disclosed plan).Ronald Nersesian: largest sale, Mar 17, 2026 · John Page: largest sale, Dec 10, 2025
Three insiders sold $5.5M with no disclosed plan: Satish Dhanasekaran ($3.0M, 9.1% of holdings), Neil Dougherty ($1.5M, 4.3%) and James Cullen ($1.0M, 13%). The filings don't state a reason.Satish Dhanasekaran: largest such sale, Sep 30, 2026 · Neil Dougherty: largest such sale, Sep 21, 2026 · James Cullen: largest such sale, Jun 2, 2026
Seven officers sold shares but ended with larger stakes, because more shares came in than were sold: Satish Dhanasekaran (sold 24K, 20% of starting holdings; 49K added), Neil Dougherty (sold 5K, 4.3% of starting holdings; 23K added) and Jeffrey Li (sold 5.9K, 19% of starting holdings; 15K added), plus 4 more.Satish Dhanasekaran: largest sale, Dec 1, 2025 · Neil Dougherty: largest sale, Sep 21, 2026 · Jeffrey Li: largest sale, Dec 3, 2025

Percentages cover 21 of 23 officers and directors. Left out: Arnaud Allouche and Scott Reese (held no vested shares at the start). Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.

Common questions

Is the Keysight Technologies CEO selling stock?

Yes. Satish Dhanasekaran sold 24K shares ($5.6M, 20% of starting holdings) in the past 12 months, 47% of it under a trading plan disclosed in the filings.

Why are Keysight Technologies insiders selling?

Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 48% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 52% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.

Are any Keysight Technologies insiders buying?

No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.

How much of their stake did Keysight Technologies insiders sell?

About 11% overall. As a group they still hold 96% of their starting shares. The biggest individual seller, Ronald Nersesian, gave up 26% of starting holdings. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

23 of 23 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (18 exactly, 5 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 21 of 23 officers and directors. Left out: Arnaud Allouche and Scott Reese (held no vested shares at the start). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.

What explains the selling$33.6M of sales by plan status, purpose, seller and month

Officer and director open-market sales: $33.6M across 137,695 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.

By plan status

The lighter segment is sales with no plan disclosed in the filing ($17.6M), including tax-related sales outside a plan.

No plan disclosed · $17.6M

Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $5.9M of it is Ronald Nersesian. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: Ronald Nersesian, Nov 28, 2025

Taxes

61,206 shares ($11.0M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.

Charitable gifts · 6.8K shares

Gifts the filings describe as charitable. Gifts are not sales and are not included in the sale totals.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.

External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.

Sources and methodology793 filings from SEC EDGAR, and how we read them

All 793 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for Keysight Technologies (SEC CIK 1601046) from Oct 6, 2014 to Oct 2, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages.

Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.

Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
