Research Alert: Ter Beats Expectations, But Q2 Guidance Only In Line, Disappointing The Bulls

By

-- CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

TER's results again beat consensus in Q1, with sales of $1.28B (+87% Y/Y) outpacing the Street's $1.22B by 5.5% and non-GAAP EPS of $2.56 (+241%) beating expectations for $2.11 by 21%. While still impressive, these results may disappoint more bullish investors, following Q4's blowout beats of 11%/30% for sales/EPS, respectively. Guidance was similarly underwhelming given high expectations, with midpoints of $1.20B in revenue and $2.01 in EPS coming in only just above the Street's views of $1.19B/$1.96, whereas last quarter's guidance beat by an eye-popping 27%/66% for sales/EPS. AI comprised approximately 70% of demand during the quarter, as expected. Semiconductor Test (87% of sales) accelerated +105%, System Test grew +78%, and Robotics rebounded +32% after declines throughout 2025, reflecting broad-based demand. We think 2H will start to reverse 1H's strength given order lumpiness and management's warnings of demand pull-in, with ongoing memory/cleanroom constraints potentially adding pressure.
