Read MoreHide Full Article
Teradyne (TER - Free Report) closed the most recent trading day at $113.90, moving -0.06% from the previous trading session. This change lagged the S&P 500's daily gain of 1.95%. Elsewhere, the Dow gained 1.85%, while the tech-heavy Nasdaq added 1.55%.
Coming into today, shares of the maker of wireless products, data storage and equipment to test semiconductors had lost 9.2% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector lost 6.69%, while the S&P 500 lost 2.45%.
TER will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect TER to post earnings of $1.04 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 4%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $759.56 million, up 7.84% from the prior-year quarter.
Looking at the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates suggest analysts are expecting earnings of $4.87 per share and revenue of $3.31 billion. These totals would mark changes of +5.41% and +6.07%, respectively, from last year.
Investors should also note any recent changes to analyst estimates for TER. Recent revisions tend to reflect the latest near-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell). It has a remarkable, outside-audited track record of success, with #1 stocks delivering an average annual return of +25% since 1988. Within the past 30 days, our consensus EPS projection remained stagnant. TER is currently a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold).
Investors should also note TER's current valuation metrics, including its Forward P/E ratio of 23.42. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 28.11, so we one might conclude that TER is trading at a discount comparatively.
Investors should also note that TER has a PEG ratio of 2.12 right now. The PEG ratio is similar to the widely-used P/E ratio, but this metric also takes the company's expected earnings growth rate into account. TER's industry had an average PEG ratio of 3.26 as of yesterday's close.
The Electronics - Testing Equipment industry is part of the Computer and Technology sector. This group has a Zacks Industry Rank of 48, putting it in the top 19% of all 250+ industries.
