On July 17, Teradyne fell 5.16% in regular trading, trading at $311.22/share, with turnover of $165 million.
On the news front, chip stocks saw a broad selloff, with the VanEck Semiconductor ETF (SMH) closing down 3.70%. The semiconductor equipment sector declined across the board, with Applied Materials down 6.08%, KLA-Tencor down 4.22%, Lam Research down 3.96%, and ASML down 2.79%. Teradyne had already been experiencing intense volatility since plunging 9.59% on July 8, with repeated profit-taking pressure following sharp rallies.
Meanwhile, the company disclosed two insider transactions: Director Smith Gregory Stephen sold 4,000 shares and Director Matz Marilyn sold 1,200 shares on July 15, totaling approximately $1.85 million in disposals, further intensifying short-term selling pressure. Notably, JPMorgan recently raised its price target on Teradyne to $450 from $400 while maintaining an Overweight rating, and the stock carries an analyst consensus mean target of $430.20, suggesting significant upside from current levels despite near-term headwinds.
