On April 28, Teradyne fell 4.58% intraday, trading at $394.13 per share, with trading volume of approximately $185 million. The decline marks a second consecutive session of losses for the stock, following a 3.91% drop in the prior session.
The sell-off comes amid broad weakness across the semiconductor equipment sector. Within the Semiconductor Equipment sector, ASML Holding fell 2.52%, Applied Materials fell 3.79%, Lam Research fell 2.49%, KLA-Tencor fell 2.49%, and Amkor Technology fell 5.10%. The retreat is notable given that just days earlier, UBS analyst Timothy Arcuri had maintained a Buy rating on Teradyne and raised the target price sharply from $325 to $440, citing strong confidence in AI-driven semiconductor test demand. That upgrade had fueled a 5.04% intraday rally on April 25. However, market concerns have since resurfaced around a sequential decline in Q1 revenue and profit compared to Q4 of the prior year, as well as signs of slowing industry growth, despite the company's elevated AI exposure exceeding 70% of revenue. With trailing PE near 85x, the stock remains highly sensitive to any moderation in growth expectations.
