Agilent Technologies was established in 1999 as a spin-off from Hewlett-Packard (HP), continuing HP's legacy in the electronic and bio-analytical measurement sectors. The resulting IPO of Agilent stock became a massive deal in Silicon Valley at the time and marked the largest in its history. The creation of Agilent was a strategic move to allow it to focus intently on life sciences, diagnostics, and applied chemical markets. This dedicated focus allowed Agilent to quickly establish itself as one of the leaders in its chosen markets.

But that wasn’t the end of the spin-offs. Up until 2014, Agilent produced semiconductors, optics, EDA software, and various types of measurement equipment. This segment of the company was spun off to form Keysight, while Agilent continued to focus on its core products and specialties.
