Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors at Play

Teradyne is expected to have gained from the increasing demand in the robotic segment. The incorporation of UR20 revenues is expected to have driven a 10% year-over-year revenue growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

Teradyne is anticipated to have benefited from improving demand for semiconductor test equipment in the automotive and industrial end markets.

Additionally, the broader adoption of 3-nanometer technology in the mobility sector and robust demand in the automotive industry's shift from internal combustion to electric vehicles are expected to have been favorable factors in the quarter under discussion.

In memory tests, growth of DDR5 and HBM devices used in data center applications to bolster retooling capabilities is expected to have contributed to its top-line growth in the to-be-reported quarter.

However, the overall weak demand environment and weakness in the hard disk drive (HDD) market are expected to have been headwinds for the company.
