For the second quarter of 2026, Teradyne reported revenue of USD 1.33 billion and adjusted earnings per share of USD 2.47, clearly above analyst expectations, as summarized by IT-Boltwise on September 10, 2026.
According to this overview, the Q2 2026 EPS figure of USD 2.47 exceeded the referenced analyst consensus of USD 2.09 by USD 0.38, illustrating a double-digit percentage beat on earnings alongside the reported USD 1.33 billion in quarterly revenue.
The same report notes that consensus views described Teradyne with a rating of Moderate Buy and an average target price of USD 396.80 in one cited overview, while another specific analyst house, Argus, was said to have raised a target to USD 422.00; this highlights that several named targets sit above the current market price, even though the more recent MarketScreener consensus now shows a higher average target of USD 446.47, according to MarketScreener as of September 11, 2026.
Analyst consensus and risk backdrop
