Teradyne Q1 Revenue Record $1.28B on AI Demand; Q2 Guide Down Sequentially

Teradyne delivered a record Q1 with $1.282 billion in revenue and non-GAAP EPS of $2.56, beating consensus on both lines. AI-related demand now accounts for nearly 70% of sales, up from 60% in Q4 2025. New platforms — Photon 100 for silicon photonics and Omnyx for server board testing — expand the addressable market, while the MultiLane JV and TestInsight acquisition broaden the portfolio. However, Q2 guidance of $1.15 to $1.25 billion implies a sequential revenue decline of roughly 3 to 10%, and management cited limited second-half visibility. The stock fell 19.4% on the report before recovering 24.9% subsequently, suggesting investors initially focused on the sequential guide-down but later reassessed the structural AI test demand trajectory.

What changed

Q1 revenue reached a record $1.282 billion, up from $1.083 billion in Q4 2025. AI rose to nearly 70% of revenue from 60% the prior quarter. Two new platforms launched: Photon 100 (silicon photonics testing, targeting a $300 to $700 million TAM) and Omnyx (server board testing). The MultiLane JV was completed and the TestInsight acquisition closed. First merchant GPU production test orders were received and will ship in Q2. Capex outlook shifted to increasing. Q2 was guided to $1.15 to $1.25 billion in revenue and $1.86 to $2.15 EPS, a sequential step-down from Q1.

Guidance delta

Q2 revenue guided to $1.15 to $1.25 billion versus Q1 actual of $1.282 billion, a sequential decline of approximately 3 to 10%. Q2 EPS guided to $1.86 to $2.15 versus Q1 actual of $2.56. Management characterized guidance as consistent with its full-year trajectory and maintained its evergreen target model of $6 billion revenue at a $12 to $14 billion ATE TAM. Guidance sentiment: maintained.

Key takeaways

  • Record Q1 revenue of $1.282 billion with AI at nearly 70% of sales, up from 60% in Q4 2025
  • Non-GAAP EPS of $2.56 beat consensus by 21.3%; revenue beat by 6.9%
  • Photon 100 launches silicon photonics testing into a new $300 to $700 million TAM
  • First merchant GPU production test orders received; shipping in Q2
  • Q2 guidance of $1.15 to $1.25 billion revenue implies a sequential decline despite strong AI momentum

Management priorities

  • Scale production and shipments of Photon 100 silicon photonics testers
  • Accelerate Omnyx deployment for server board and tray assembly testing
  • Expand merchant GPU testing program with fast-follower projects into late 2026 and 2027
  • Invest in R&D and capex to support AI, compute, memory, and robotics growth
  • Leverage TestInsight software tools for virtual test environments and faster time-to-market

Methodology

Reported and consensus figures come from FN2's earnings event records. Market reaction and volume are calculated from daily adjusted bars around the event; abnormal move subtracts the SPY move over the same window.

Analyst target low, average, and high values are derived at request time from each named analyst's latest persisted FMP target. The current-price marker comes from FN2's persisted market snapshot. They are sell-side estimates, not an FN2 valuation or recommendation.

Transcript intelligence is a structured synthesis of the current and prior earnings-call analyses. Missing values stay missing and are never estimated.
