$TER — BUY 📊 | 6 MONTHS THESIS
🎯 Q1 2026 | Rev $1.3B | EPS $2.56 vs $2.12 🟢 | Margin 36.9%
💡 Consensus sees 20% EPS growth for 2026, but we believe growth can exceed 30% with upside from higher-margin SOC testers. Forward P/E of ~43x (based on Q1 annualized) is below Teradyne's historical forward median of ~50x, indicating re-rating potential as the market digests the structural shift.
📉 Reward/risk: 3.2:1
🏢 Business Quality: 8/10 - Leading test equipment provider with dominant share in high-growth SOC test, strong customer relationships, and high barriers to entry.
📊 Valuation: Rich on trailing P/E (81x at 112th %ile vs median 73x), but reasonable on forward P/E of ~43x based on Q1 run-rate.
🔮 Catalyst: Next earnings report or positive industry capex commentary
💰 Entry: $437.92, stop $400, target $560
