Revenue Trends by End Market
The following tables summarize revenue by end market. The categorization of revenue by end market is determined using a variety of data points including the technical characteristics of the product, the "sold to" customer information, the "ship to" customer information and the end customer product or application into which our product will be incorporated. The assignment of products to end markets may change over time. When this occurs, we reclassify revenue by end market for prior periods. Such reclassifications typically do not materially change the sizing of, or the underlying trends of results within, each end market.

Revenue increased 37% and 34% in the three- and six-month periods ended May 2, 2026 as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year as a result of a broad-based increase in demand for our products, notably within all Industrial
sub-markets with the highest growth coming from our test equipment and aerospace and defense sub-markets. Revenue also increased in the data center portion of the Communications end market related to artificial intelligence-driven infrastructure investments.
Revenue by Sales Channel
The following tables summarize revenue by sales channel. We sell our products globally through a direct sales force, third-party distributors, independent sales representatives and via our website. Distributors are customers that buy products with the intention of reselling them. Direct customers are non-distributor customers and consist primarily of original equipment manufacturers. Other customers include the U.S. government, government prime contractors and certain commercial customers for which revenue is recorded over time.

R&D expenses increased in the three- and six-month periods ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, primarily as a result of higher R&D employee-related variable compensation expenses. R&D expenses declined as a percentage of revenue, primarily reflecting higher revenue levels and improved operating leverage. We expect to continue the development of innovative technologies and processes for new products, which we view as critical to our future growth. We believe that a continued commitment to R&D is essential to maintain product leadership with our existing products as well as to provide innovative new product offerings.

Special charges, net decreased in the three- and six-month periods ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, primarily due to decreased charges related to our Global Repositioning Actions. The decrease in the six-month period was partially offset by a $15.6 million impairment charge recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2026 related to the asset group in our leased facilities in San Jose, California.
Provision for Income Taxes

Effective income tax rate 11.2 % 9.0 % 11.6 % 9.5 %
The primary driver for our increased tax rate in the three- and six-month periods ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same periods of the prior fiscal year, is the increase in taxes paid on our international profits. This results in higher non-deductible foreign tax expense under the global intangible low-taxed income (GILTI) regime, which has the effect of increasing our effective tax rate.

Diluted EPS $ 2.40 $ 1.14 $ 4.09 $ 1.93
Net income increased in the three-month period ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, as the result of a $701.7 million increase in operating income, partially offset by a $92.3 million increase in provision for income taxes.
Net income increased in the six-month period ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, as the result of a $1,207.4 million increase in operating income, partially offset by a $163.1 million increase in provision for income taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At May 2, 2026, our principal source of liquidity was $3.4 billion of cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, of which approximately $2.2 billion was held in the United States, and the balance of which was held outside the United States in various foreign subsidiaries. We manage our worldwide cash requirements by, among other things, reviewing available funds held by our foreign subsidiaries and the cost effectiveness by which those funds can be accessed in the United States. We do not expect current regulatory restrictions or taxes on repatriation to have a material adverse effect on our overall liquidity, financial condition or results of operations. Our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments consist of highly liquid investments, including money market funds and corporate and bank obligations. We maintain these balances with counterparties with high credit ratings, and continually monitor the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and diversify our investments in order to minimize our credit risk.
We believe that our existing sources of liquidity and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with existing and anticipated available short- and long-term financing, will be sufficient to fund operations, capital expenditures, acquisitions, research and development efforts and dividend payments in the immediate future and for at least the next twelve months.

Net cash (used for) provided by investing activities $ (158,955) $ 133,892
Net cash used for financing activities $ (2,144,091) $ (1,695,286)
The following changes contributed to the net change in cash and cash equivalents in the six-month period ended May 2, 2026 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2025.
Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities is net income adjusted for certain non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. The increase in cash provided by operating activities during the six-month period ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, was mainly the result of higher net income adjusted for non-cash items.
Investing Activities
Investing cash flows generally consist of purchases and sales of property, plant and equipment, purchases, sales and maturities of available-for-sale investments; and acquisitions of other businesses. The change in investing cash flows during the six-month period ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily the result of a decrease in maturities of our available-for-sale investments. The change in investing cash flows also included the sale of property, plant and equipment during fiscal 2025.
Financing Activities
Financing cash flows generally consist of payments of dividends to stockholders, repurchases of common stock, issuances and repayments of debt and proceeds from the sale of shares of common stock pursuant to employee equity incentive plans. The change in cash used for financing activities during the six-month period ended May 2, 2026, as compared to the same
period of the prior fiscal year, was primarily the result of higher common stock repurchases partially offset by debt repayments during fiscal 2025.
Working Capital
May 2, 2026 November 1, 2025 $ Change % Change
Accounts receivable $ 2,051,733 $ 1,436,075 $ 615,658 43 %
Days sales outstanding* 43 44
Inventory $ 1,848,405 $ 1,656,323 $ 192,082 12 %
Days cost of sales in inventory* 139 130
_______________________________________
*We use the average of the current quarter and prior quarter ending net accounts receivable and ending inventory balance in our calculation of days sales outstanding and days cost of sales in inventory, respectively.
The increase in accounts receivable in dollars was primarily the result of increased sales levels and variations in the timing of collections and billings.
Inventory increased primarily as a result of building inventory levels to support increased demand.
Current liabilities increased to $4.5 billion at May 2, 2026 as compared to $3.2 billion at the end of fiscal 2025 primarily due to the reclassification of $0.9 billion of debt due in December 2026 to current liabilities as well as an increase in accrued liabilities, partially offset by a decrease in income taxes payable.
Debt
As of May 2, 2026, our debt obligations consisted of the following:
Principal Amount Outstanding
Commercial paper notes $ 550,198
2026 Notes, due December 2026 900,000
2027 Notes, due June 2027 440,212
2028 Notes, due June 2028 850,000

2031 Notes, due October 2031 1,000,000
2032 Notes, due October 2032 300,000

2051 Notes, due October 2051 1,000,000
2054 Notes, due April 2054 550,000
Total debt $ 8,767,275
The indentures governing our outstanding notes contain covenants that may limit our ability to: incur, create, assume or guarantee any debt for borrowed money secured by a lien upon a principal property; enter into sale and lease-back transactions with respect to a principal property; and consolidate with or merge into, or transfer or lease all or substantially all of our assets to, any other party. As of May 2, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Under our commercial paper program, we may issue short-term, unsecured commercial paper notes in amounts up to a maximum aggregate face amount of $3.0 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities of up to 397 days from the date of issuance. As of May 2, 2026, we had $0.6 billion of outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. We intend to use the net proceeds of the commercial paper program for general corporate purposes, including without limitation, repayment of indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures and working capital.
Revolving Credit Facility
Our Fourth Amended and Restated Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of April 11, 2025, with Bank of America N.A. as administrative agent and the other banks identified therein as lenders (the Revolving Credit Agreement) provides for a five-year unsecured revolving credit facility in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $3.0 billion (subject to certain terms and conditions).
We may borrow under the Revolving Credit Agreement in the future and use the proceeds for repayment of existing indebtedness, stock repurchases, acquisitions, capital expenditures, working capital and other lawful corporate purposes. The terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement impose restrictions on our ability to undertake certain transactions, to create certain liens on assets and to incur certain subsidiary indebtedness. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains an interest coverage covenant which requires the ratio of consolidated earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) to consolidated interest charges to be greater than 3.0 to 1.0. As of May 2, 2026, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Stock Repurchase Program
As of May 2, 2026, our Board of Directors had authorized us to repurchase an aggregate of $26.7 billion of our common stock under our common stock repurchase program and $8.5 billion remained available for repurchases under the current authorized program. Repurchased shares are held as authorized but unissued shares of common stock. Unless terminated earlier by resolution of our Board of Directors, the repurchase program will expire when the full dollar amount of the authorization has been used to repurchase shares under the program. Future repurchases of common stock will be dependent upon our financial position, results of operations, outlook, liquidity and other factors we deem relevant.
Capital Expenditures
Net additions to property, plant and equipment were $247.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2026. We expect capital expenditures for fiscal 2026 to be between approximately 4% and 6% of fiscal 2026 revenue. These capital expenditures will be funded with a combination of cash on hand and cash expected to be generated from future operations, together with existing and anticipated available short- and long-term financing.
Dividends
On May 19, 2026, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $1.10 per outstanding share of common stock. The dividend will be paid on June 16, 2026 to all shareholders of record at the close of business on June 2, 2026 and is expected to total approximately $535.8 million. We currently expect quarterly dividends to continue in future periods, although they remain subject to determination and declaration by our Board of Directors. The payment of future dividends, if any, will be based on several factors, including our financial performance, outlook and liquidity.
New Accounting Pronouncements
From time to time, new accounting pronouncements are issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board that are adopted by us as of the specified effective date. Unless otherwise discussed, management believes that the impact of recently issued standards will not have a material impact on our future financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures. See Note 11, New Accounting Pronouncements, in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a description of recently issued and adopted accounting pronouncements, including the dates of adoption and impact on our historical financial condition, results of operations, and disclosures.
