Figures as of October 16, 2026.
CleaRank Financial AI
Teradyne, Inc. (TER) is currently trading at $343.21, below its 50-day and 200-day moving averages ($381.69 and $344.07), indicating a bearish technical trend.
The company's recent performance has been marked by exceptional revenue growth, projected at 61.00% for the current year, driven by demand in the semiconductor equipment sector. Despite the current technical weakness, Wall Street analysts maintain a 'Buy' consensus with a median price target of $450, suggesting an upside potential of 31.1% from current levels. Teradyne's fundamental strength is underscored by a high profit margin of 25.77% and a return on equity of 36.47%, significantly outperforming sector averages. The company also exhibits a very low debt-to-equity ratio of 0.03, indicating a strong balance sheet. While the stock is trading at a premium with a P/E ratio of 47.14, this is partially justified by its rapid growth trajectory and market position. The primary risk remains the current technical downtrend and potential for broader market pullbacks affecting growth stocks.

What the numbers say
CleaRank Financial AI's reading of TER's valuation, growth and risks.
Teradyne, Inc. (TER) trades at a P/E ratio of 47.14, which is above the sector median of 35.1, indicating a premium valuation.
However, this premium is supported by exceptional revenue growth of 103.9% reported recently and projected at 61.00% for the current year, significantly outpacing the sector average of 24.2%. The company's profitability is strong, with a net profit margin of 25.77% and an operating margin of 33.16%, both well above sector medians. The balance sheet is exceptionally strong, with a debt-to-equity ratio of just 0.03, far below the sector average. This financial health, combined with strong growth prospects, provides a solid foundation despite the current valuation premium. The company's ability to maintain high margins and growth rates will be key to justifying its current stock price.

Long-term scenarios
Thousands of simulated paths from the price history. A range of outcomes, not a forecast.
Monte Carlo projection
Thousands of simulated paths for $10,000 in TER, from its own past volatility. The shaded area holds 80% of them.
CleaRank's 10-year Monte Carlo simulation projects that a $10,000 investment in TER today could grow to about $29,572 by 2036 in the base case, with a 90th-percentile outcome near $204,312 and a 10th-percentile outcome around $4,280. The simulation models price only; at today's 0.15% yield, dividends would add to these figures. Projections are statistical simulations, not guarantees.
TER Stock Price Prediction: 2030
The same simulation in share prices, year by year.
CleaRank's simulation projects a price near $530 for TER by 2030 in the base case, from $343 today (1.5x over 4 years). The 10th-percentile path ends near $156. These are outcomes of a Monte Carlo simulation run on TER's historical return distribution, not price targets, and they assume no dividends are reinvested.
| Year | 10th percentile | Base case | 90th percentile | range base today |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2027 | $208 | $383 | $705 | |
| 2028 | $180 | $426 | $1,012 | |
| 2029 | $165 | $475 | $1,370 | |
| 2030 | $156 | $530 | $1,798 | |
| 2031 | $150 | $590 | $2,315 |
Method: a lognormal simulation of TER's own volatility and capped historical trend, re-run daily; base case is the median path, the outer columns the 10th and 90th percentiles. TER is highly volatile, so its upside column reaches an extreme multiple; treat it as a statistical tail, not an expectation.
