Where TER is headed
Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) walks into 2028 as the company that solved a problem most investors didn't realise existed in 2024. Every Blackwell, Rubin, and MI400-class accelerator shipping today depends on stacks of HBM3E and HBM4 that have to be tested at speeds and thermal envelopes that broke the old testers. SK hynix, Micron, and Samsung have spent the last 18 months buying Magnum and UltraFLEX capacity to keep up, and that capex cycle hasn't peaked. With TTM revenue running 87% above last year and operating margins at 37.6%, the business has already crossed into a different gear than the 2022-2024 cyclical trough suggested was possible.
