Key Factors to Note

In the fourth quarter, Teradyne is expected to have continued facing sluggishness in the Semiconductor Test business due to weak test demand than the year-ago quarter.

Nevertheless, the test demand is expected to have improved sequentially with rising automotive test demand. Strength in the UltraFLEX platform, ADAS processors and the Eagle platform is likely to have benefited the business in the to-be-reported quarter.

Increasing shipment of ADAS processors, silicon carbide drives, charging ICs and battery management devices are likely to have been tailwinds.

Growing momentum across research and development applications, and strong design wins are likely to have contributed well.

Apart from these, increasing semiconductor content for electric vehicles, autonomous driving and auto infotainment are expected to have contributed well to the performance of the System Test business in the fourth quarter. Solid momentum in analog industrial is likely to have been another positive.

Coming to the Industrial Automation business, softness in the industrial demand, labour scarcity in the distribution channel and foreign exchange headwinds are expected to have been major overhangs.

Nevertheless, well-performing Universal Robots and Mobile Industrial Robots (MiR) are expected to have benefited the business in the quarter under review.

Strengthening demand for Universal Robots’ UR20 and its solid momentum in the OEM channel are likely to have been positives.

MiR’s robust services and spares, along with growing momentum across large customers, are likely to have contributed well.

However, weakness in Teradyne’s Wireless Test business is expected to have impacted its quarterly performance negatively. Sluggish smartphone and PC end-markets are expected to have been concerning.

The coronavirus pandemic-triggered uncertainties, supply-chain disruptions and rising geo-political tensions are expected to have been headwinds.
