Key Takeaways
Teradyne beat Q2 estimates as revenues jumped 103.9% year over year to a record $1.329 billion.
TER posted record Memory revenues, supported by DRAM strength and renewed NAND final-test demand.
Teradyne expects Q3 revenues of $1.20B-$1.30B, citing robust AI-related demand and growth prospects.
Teradyne (TER - Free Report) delivered second-quarter 2026 non-GAAP earnings of $2.47 per share, up 333.3% year over year and beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 21.08%.
Revenues surged 103.9% to $1.329 billion and topped the consensus mark by 9.37%. Results reflected record Memory revenues, supported by continued DRAM strength and a resurgence in NAND final test. The company also registered its second consecutive quarter of record revenues.
Teradyne's Semiconductor Test Unit Leads the Mix
Semiconductor Test generated revenues of $1.122 billion, representing 84.4% of total quarterly sales. The segment remained Teradyne’s primary growth engine as demand for advanced compute and memory testing stayed strong.
Product Test contributed $107 million, or 8.1% of total revenues. Robotics generated $100 million, which accounted for the remaining 7.5%. The distribution shows that Semiconductor Test continued to dominate Teradyne’s revenue mix, although each business group participated in the year-over-year expansion.
Record Memory revenues were driven by continued strength in DRAM and renewed demand for NAND final-test systems. These trends supported another strong quarter for Teradyne’s semiconductor-testing portfolio.
Management linked the performance to its strategy of capturing test and robotics opportunities from the wafer stage through the AI data center. The company also noted robust near-term AI-related demand across its served markets.
TER Operating Details
Non-GAAP gross profit was $794.6 million, with the gross margin reaching 59.8%. This compared with $373.3 million and 57.3%, respectively, in the year-ago quarter, marking a 250-basis-point expansion.
Selling and administrative expenses rose 22% year over year to $192.5 million. However, these costs represented 14.5% of revenues, down from 24.2% in the prior-year period as sales growth outpaced the increase in spending.
Engineering and development expenses climbed 32% year over year to $156.3 million. As a share of revenues, the expense fell to 11.8% from 18.2%, indicating that higher development spending was absorbed by the larger revenue base.
