Factors to Consider

The popularity of its products, acquisitions of LitePoint and Universal Robots, and continued design wins are expected to have driven Teradyne’s performance in the to-be-reported quarter. However, weakness in a few end markets served by the company could have been a headwind during the quarter.

Semiconductor Test revenues are likely to have got a boost in third-quarter 2019 owing to continued growth in 5G infrastructure, and strong networking and memory test spending. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Semiconductor Test revenues is currently pegged at $376 million, indicating 0.27% year-over-year increase.

Also, Industrial Automation revenues are likely to have been aided by strength in Universal Robots and the addition of Mobile Industrial Robots in the quarter to be reported. The Zacks Consensus Estimate for Industrial Automation revenues is currently pegged at $79 million, suggesting 5.3% year-over-year growth.

For the third quarter, management expects total revenues in the range of $540-$580 million. Non-GAAP earnings per share from continuing operations are likely to be in the range of 64-74 cents.
