According to market data, 17 analysts cover the stock. The mean target is $446.47, the median is $450.00, the highest is $550.00 and the lowest is $350.00. The consensus rating is Buy. The analyst data is dated September 12, 2026, and the price is the 16 October close, so the two may not be perfectly aligned.

What Are Analysts Saying?

The rating split is 12 Buy (11 Strong Buy, 1 Buy), 5 Hold, 0 Sell. The most recent actions listed are Susquehanna reiterating Buy with a $550 target (12 September), Robert W. Baird downgrading to Hold with a $420 target (21 August), and J.P. Morgan raising its target from $450 to $465 and Evercore ISI from $370 to $420 (both 30 July).

What Could Help the Stock Reach the Price Target?

Teradyne has been launching AI-oriented test products, including Titan HP and UltraFLEXplus, and made a $300 million investment in FormFactor and a strategic investment in Bright Machines. Trailing twelve-month revenue is $4.46 billion with EPS of $7.29, well ahead of 2025 revenue of $3.19 billion. If AI test demand persists, the consensus target suggests upside.

What Could Prevent the Stock Reaching the Target?

The target data was last updated on 12 September and may not reflect the recent sell-off. Only 17 analysts contribute, with five at Hold, and Baird downgraded in August. Semiconductor test demand is cyclical.

What Should Investors Watch Next?

The key event is the third-quarter report after the US close on October 27, 2026. Investors may wish to follow guidance, AI-related orders and subsequent target changes.

The Bulls Are Asking a Lot

The consensus target suggests upside of about 37.4% from the latest close, but it is a forecast, and the stock could fall short of it.
