Agilent Technologies reports mixed results for Q2, beating on EPS but missing on revenues. The company's CEO acknowledges a slower market improvement than expected and announces cost-cutting measures. Agilent's stock plunges by 14% after-hours due to lowered FY24 EPS guidance to $5.15 from the prior range of $5.44-$5.55. Despite the Q2 revenue of $1.57B and EPS of $1.22, the company faces a decline as it revises its full-year guidance amid a sluggish market recovery.

Or is the guidance story truly the tail wagging the dog these days? @MXLESQ @ryanmastro5 Rebel's Edge 🏴☠️ 1pm #stocks… https://t.co/sS80DoSbtI
