Teradyne's 15-min chart shows MACD and KDJ death crosses.

Teradyne's 15-minute chart has triggered a MACD Death Cross and KDJ Death Cross at 16:00 on 08/28/2025. This suggests that the stock price has the potential to continue declining, as the momentum of the stock price is shifting towards the downside and may further decrease.

Teradyne Inc. (TER) experienced a 0.77% increase in its stock price on August 28, 2025, with a trading volume of $330 million, ranking 313th in the market. The stock's performance followed mixed earnings results from its second-quarter 2025 report, where non-GAAP earnings per share (EPS) of $0.57 exceeded estimates by 5.56% but declined 33.7% year-over-year (YoY). Revenue of $652 million, though above guidance, fell 10.7% YoY, driven by weaker Semiconductor Test platform sales and higher operating expenses [1].

Key segments showed divergent trends: Semiconductor Test platforms accounted for 75.5% of revenue, while Robotics and Product Test contributed 13%. Gross margins contracted to 57.3%, a 110-basis-point decline YoY, as selling and engineering expenses rose sharply. Teradyne also expanded its share repurchase program to $1 billion by 2026, signaling confidence in its capital structure despite margin pressures [1].

Analysts noted a downward revision in earnings estimates since the report, with the consensus estimate dropping 14.66%. The stock holds a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold), suggesting in-line returns ahead. However, a weak Momentum Score and downward guidance for the third quarter highlight near-term risks. Teradyne’s balance sheet remains resilient, with $367.9 million in cash and cash equivalents, though liquidity has slightly declined from the previous quarter [1].

Adding to the concerns, Teradyne's 15-minute chart triggered a MACD Death Cross and KDJ Death Cross at 16:00 on August 28, 2025. These technical indicators suggest that the stock price has the potential to continue declining, as the momentum of the stock price is shifting towards the downside and may further decrease [2].

According to 18 Wall Street analysts, the average twelve-month stock price forecast for Teradyne is $114.44, with a high forecast of $145.00 and a low forecast of $85.00. Analysts have issued a mix of "buy," "hold," and "sell" ratings, with a consensus rating of "Moderate Buy." The average price target represents a forecasted downside of -3.71% from the current price of $118.85 [2].

Given the mixed earnings report, downward earnings estimates, and technical indicators, investors should exercise caution when considering Teradyne stock. The company's resilience in the face of margin pressures and expanding its share repurchase program signals confidence in its capital structure, but the near-term risks and downward guidance for the third quarter warrant a cautious approach.
