Key Factors to Note

The company’s solid momentum across the Test business is likely to get reflected in second-quarter results.

Rising attach rate of electronics, growing complexity of devices and faster refresh rates for many of the complex devices are expected to have driven growth of the Semiconductor Test business in the quarter to be reported.

Teradyne’s positive outlook for sales and profits in both system on-a-chip (SOC) and memory test markets should have been a tailwind for semiconductor test revenues.

Further, growing proliferation of high performance processors for end applications might have boosted the demand for compute portion of the SOC Test in the second quarter. This in turn is likely to have benefited the company’s performance in the memory and SLT markets.

Furthermore, strengthening momentum across the UltraFLEXplus platform is expected to have driven Teradyne’s growth in the SOC Test market.

In addition, strengthening Eagle shipments are likely to have driven growth within the company’s auto industrial segment in the to-be-reported quarter.

It has been witnessing strong demand in both flash and DRAM in the Memory test business. This is likely to be reflected on the to-be-reported quarter’s results.

Further, the global economic recovery might have been a major positive for Teradyne’s Industrial Automation business.

Also, solid adoption of UR and MiR products across various applications is likely to have benefited the Industrial Automation business.

However, the company has been experiencing shipment delays in automotive and industrial test markets due to a challenging supply environment. This is expected to get reflected in the upcoming results.
