TER Benefits From Robust Semiconductor Test Segment
Teradyne is benefiting from the growing demand for AI infrastructure, which is driving robust growth across its semiconductor test and robotics divisions. In the fourth quarter of 2025, Semiconductor Test revenues were $883 million, accounting for approximately 81.5% of total sales. This reflects 45% year-over-year growth and a 46% sequential increase compared with the third quarter of 2025.
Further expanding its portfolio, in March 2026, Teradyne announced the launch of Omnyx, an advanced manufacturing test platform designed for printed circuit board assemblies and sub-assemblies in AI and data center applications.
The platform integrates structural, parametric, high-speed interconnect and functional testing into a single system, enabling earlier detection of signal integrity and operational defects. It helps manufacturers improve yield, reduce defect escapes and ensure higher-quality final assemblies for next-generation data center infrastructure.
Teradyne expects robust growth in the semiconductor test market, particularly in the compute segment, which is projected to expand significantly due to the rapid build-out of AI data centers and growth of edge AI. The company anticipates that the compute segment will drive a substantial portion of its revenue in 2026, with AI applications accounting for up to 70% of its revenue in the first quarter of 2026.
