Teradyne, Inc. Common Stock
Here’s whether Teradyne, Inc. Common Stock (TER) is worth buying in 2026 — based on weekly-updated price trend, RSI momentum, and return vs. the S&P 500. Our current read: Caution.
Positives: trading above the 200-day MA (long-term uptrend intact); RSI 43 — healthy momentum range; strong 1-year return of +283.1%. Concerns: below the 50-day MA (medium-term momentum negative); 50-day MA is falling (-0.15% over 10 days); 3-month momentum negative (-16.3%); declining volume on rally — weak conviction (0.63x 30d avg). Currently 28.3% off its 52-week high. Score: +0/7.
TER is holding above its long-term 200-day MA ($284.37) but has slipped below the 50-day MA ($380.29), pointing to short-term weakness in an otherwise intact trend. An RSI of 42.8 sits in the neutral zone — momentum is neither stretched nor exhausted. The 1-year return of +283.1% compares to +16.5% for SPY (beat the market by 266.7%). The current 28.3% drawdown from the 52-week high reflects elevated risk for momentum-based strategies.
