Teradyne Surges 1.53% on 34.71% Volume Spike Ranks 217th in U.S. Equity Trading Activity

On October 6, 2025, Teradyne (TER) saw a 1.53% rise in its stock price, with trading volume reaching $0.55 billion, marking a 34.71% increase from the previous day. This elevated volume ranked the stock 217th in terms of trading activity among U.S. equities. The surge in interest appears tied to recent developments in the semiconductor testing sector, where Teradyne maintains a dominant market position.

Analysts noted that the company’s recent order backlog and strategic partnerships with key clients have reinforced investor confidence. Reports highlighted a potential shift in demand dynamics for advanced testing solutions, aligning with Teradyne’s product roadmap. While no direct financial results were disclosed, the stock’s performance suggests positive sentiment around its long-term growth trajectory.

To set this up properly I need to nail down a few practical details: 1. Universe: • Do you want the “top 500 by volume” drawn from every U.S. common stock (NYSE + NASDAQ + AMEX), or from a narrower list (e.g., current S&P 500 constituents)? 2. Daily workflow: • Typical approach is “rank by today’s volume at the close, buy at next-day open, sell at that same day’s close” (1-day holding period). • Is that what you have in mind, or would you prefer closing-price entry and exit (buy today’s close, sell tomorrow’s close)? 3. Transaction costs / slippage: • Ignore them, or apply a simple assumption (e.g., 5 bp per leg)? Once I have these points I can generate the daily trading signals and run the back-test from 2022-01-03 (first trading day of 2022) through the latest close.
