10 Information Technology Stocks Whale Activity In Today's Session

Keysight Technologies Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/KEYS#NYSE">KEYS</a>) shares are trading higher premarket on Monday after the company entered into a definitive agreement to sell Spirent Communications plc&#8217;s High-Speed Ethernet and Network Security business to Viavi Solutions Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VIAV#NASDAQ">VIAV</a>).
The transaction includes a base cash consideration of $410 million, with an additional contingent payment of $15 million at closing, subject to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/n44069936/viavi-to-acquire-spirent-communications-plcs-high-speed-ethernet-and-network-security-testing-busi" rel="noreferrer noopener">standard adjustments and conditions.</a>
Notably, Wells Fargo has committed to providing a $425 million Term Loan B to support the financing of the transaction.
In March 2024, the boards of Spirent and Keysight agreed on the terms and conditions of a recommended all-cash acquisition of Spirent to be effected through a Court-sanctioned scheme of arrangement under Part 26 of the Companies Act 2006.&nbsp;
The acquisition remains contingent on regulatory approvals and is anticipated to be finalized in the second quarter of 2025, following the completion <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44069928/recommended-cash-acquisition-of-spirent-communications-by-keysight" rel="noreferrer noopener">of Keysight&#8217;s acquisition of Spirent</a>.
Keysight anticipates that the sale will be finalized soon after the Spirent&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44069928/recommended-cash-acquisition-of-spirent-communications-by-keysight" rel="noreferrer noopener">acquisition is completed.</a>
This acquisition strengthens VIAVI&#8217;s Ethernet testing platform by integrating complementary capabilities while adding valuable expertise in software, hardware, and protocol domains across network layers. It positions VIAVI to expand its presence in the growing markets of Ethernet, security, AI, and digital infrastructure.
The acquisition is projected to contribute around $180 million to VIAVI&#8217;s NSE revenue within the first year post-closing and is expected to be accretive to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/calendars/guidance" rel="noreferrer noopener">EPS within 12 months</a>.
VIAVI plans to leverage its U.S. net operating losses to reduce the combined company&#8217;s blended non-GAAP tax rate.
Oleg Khaykin, President and CEO of VIAVI said, &#8220;This transaction brings to VIAVI an advanced ethernet test and security product portfolio in the NEMs, Enterprise, Service Providers, Data Center Ecosystem and Government segments.&#8221;
As of December 28, 2024, VIAVI&#8217;s cash and cash <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/01/n43353084/viavi-announces-second-quarter-fiscal-2025-results" rel="noreferrer noopener">equivalents stood at $512.8 million</a>.
In a separate release, Keysight disclosed a strategic partnership with Aalyria to aid the development and v<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/25/03/b44069922/aalyria-and-keysight-collaborate-to-advance-5g-non-terrestrial-networks" rel="noreferrer noopener">alidation of 5G Non-Terrestrial Networks (NTN).</a>
As per the deal, the companies will integrate Aalyria&#8217;s AI-powered Spacetime platform with Keysight&#8217;s NTN RAN RICtest solutions.
This collaboration will provide a benchmark testbed for NTN constellation design, enabling real-world simulations and intelligent optimization of spectrum, power, beams, and beam-hopping across satellite and terrestrial networks.
Price Action: KEYS shares are up 1.67% at $162.20 premarket at the last check Monday.

Network and Service Enablement (NSE) sales (74% of revenue) came in above guidance as Network Enablement sales were up +15.1% Y/Y and higher margin Service Enablement sales were down -13.3% Y/Y.
Management highlighted firm orders from NA Service Providers for 5G field testing and NEMs for optical lab gear in the massive NE segment.
Management also noted strong demand for fiber sensing across broad global segments, including cloud data centers.
For SE (8% of revenue), results were lower than expected due to delays in SP adoption and soft by enterprise spending.
Optical Security and Performance Products sales (26% of revenue) were just below the low end of guidance and decreased -5.3% Y/Y.
Weakness was due to softer demand for 3D Sensing products. Fiscal third-quarter 2025 revenue of $276 million-$288 million was above consensus of $256 million (+10% at MP), while adjusted EPS of $0.10-$0.13 was ahead of consensus of $0.09.
The company expects an adjusted operating margin of 13%-15% versus 12.1% consensus.
Viavi Solutions expects fiscal third-quarter NSE revenue of $202 million-$212 million and adjusted operating margin of 6%-8%.
The guidance includes Inertial Labs&#8217; contribution of $50 million in annual RR, implying organic revenue +16% Y/Y and flattish Q/Q in a seasonally soft quarter.
In OSP, the company targets revenue of $74 million-$76 million (flat Y/Y) and an adjusted operating margin of 32%-34%.
Management highlighted the strong recovery for NSE across all products, for which visibility has markedly improved through the second half of fiscal 2025 but withheld commentary on fiscal 2026.
Key drivers included the resumption of 5G upgrades in NA to re-band spectrum from 4G to 5G, which is expected to continue through calendar 2025; new fiber broadband deployments gaining momentum through calendar 2025; and optical transport upgrades to 800G/1.6T, which are largely intended to support data center interconnect.
Koontz updated fiscal 2025 estimates and 2026 estimates. The analyst&#8217;s fiscal 2025 revenue and EPS estimates changed to $1.08 billion and $0.43 from $1.04 billion and $0.38. The fiscal 2026 estimates changed to $1.14 billion and $0.49 from $1.08 billion and $0.47
With evidence, the North American Service Provider recovery is well underway, and with the balance of its smaller verticals appearing past the bottom, Koontz upgraded Viavi Solutions&#8217; stock rating.
The analyst noted improving predictability and profitability in Viavi Solutions&#8217; results over the second half of calendar 2024, a far cry from its challenges, which began around two years ago.
In the fiscal second quarter of 2025, Viavi Solutions delivered revenue and EPS +4% and +$.03 above consensus. Its key NSE segment sales were well above guidance, benefitting from a meaningful recovery in SP and OEM spending on 5G and optical and the broad adoption of fiber sensing.
Koontz modestly raised his fiscal 2025 and 2026 estimates, reflecting steady organic growth and ample room for upside.
Price Action: VIAV stock is up 23.2% at $12.31 at last check Friday.
