Teradyne third quarter revenue jumps 70 percent on AI test demand

Technology Wednesday, October 28, 2026 - Updated Oct 28, 2026 07:15

Teradyne reported third quarter revenue of 1,306 million dollars, up 70 percent from a year earlier, with non-GAAP earnings of 2.29 dollars per share, in results released on October 27.

Why it matters: Test equipment is where AI chip volume becomes visible outside the chipmakers themselves, and record memory and systems test revenue says the buildout is broadening from accelerators into the memory and interconnect layers.

Data as of Quarter ended September 27, 2026; release dated October 27, 2026 and read from the filed exhibit in this run. Filing led, single origin by construction.

Teradyne reported revenue of 1,306 million dollars for the third quarter of 2026, of which 1,072 million dollars was in Semiconductor Test, 138 million dollars in Product Test and 96 million dollars in Robotics, the company said in its results release on October 27. Revenue rose 70 percent from the 769 million dollars reported a year earlier, and the company said results exceeded the high end of its third quarter guidance, with record revenue in Memory and Integrated Systems Test driven by AI demand.

GAAP net income attributable to Teradyne was 342.4 million dollars, or 2.17 dollars per diluted share. On a non-GAAP basis, net income was 359.9 million dollars, or 2.29 dollars per diluted share, excluding acquired intangible asset amortisation, restructuring and other charges and the related tax effects.

Chief executive Greg Smith said demand extended across the AI value chain, from memory and hard disk drive test to high speed interconnect and robotics, and that robotics delivered its highest third quarter revenue to date and achieved profitability.

For the fourth quarter of 2026, Teradyne guided to revenue of 1,250 million to 1,350 million dollars, with GAAP net income of 1.88 to 2.18 dollars per diluted share and non-GAAP net income of 1.95 to 2.25 dollars per diluted share. The guide implies the AI test cycle holds near record levels into year end rather than rolling over after one exceptional quarter.
