Good morning, you're listening to Markets Desk.

Keysight Technologies delivered a standout quarter, reporting revenue of one point eight four six billion dollars for the three months ended July thirty-first, two thousand twenty-six, up sharply from one point three five two billion in the same period a year prior. That's a near thirty-seven percent year-over-year gain, signaling meaningful demand recovery in electronic test and measurement.

Turning to insider activity, Procept BioRobotics CEO purchased twenty-three thousand nine hundred shares at twenty dollars and eighty-five cents apiece, committing roughly four hundred ninety-eight thousand dollars of personal capital to a stock that has shed forty-eight percent of its value. Insider buying at this scale typically signals management conviction that the selloff has overshot fundamentals, though it's no guarantee of a floor.

And in the AI space, OpenAI is rolling out a dedicated ChatGPT for Teens experience, featuring stronger built-in safety protections and age-appropriate educational tools. The move reflects growing regulatory and public pressure on AI platforms to address youth access, and it positions OpenAI ahead of what many expect will be tightening legislative scrutiny around minors and generative AI.

That's the tape. Markets Desk, signing off the floor.
