Agilent Technologies (NYSE: A), a manufacturer of equipment for scientific testing, reported third quarter earnings on Monday after the bell. It was a challenging quarter for the business, but estimates were beat, at least.
Revenues fell 27%. Earnings on an adjusted basis likewise took a severe tumble, coming in at 15 cents per share. Agilent made well over three times that amount in the year-ago quarter. Here's the saving grace: according to Reuters, the company earned four more pennies than the average estimate.
