Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement.

Factors to Note Ahead of TER’s Q3 Results

TER’s third-quarter 2025 performance is likely to have benefited from strong performance in the AI compute end-market. Strong demand for custom ASICs from hyperscalers is expected to have driven growth in the to-be-reported quarter. The acquisition of Quantifi Photonics is expected to help TER gain shares in the AI compute market. AI and verticalizing are expected to have been the primary growth drivers for Teradyne’s third-quarter 2025.

Strong system orders for UltraFLEXplus, driven by growing utilization rates, are expected to have driven top-line growth. Memory revenues are expected to have recovered in the to-be-reported quarter. Mobile revenues growth is expected to have been modest while the company offered a cautious outlook for the automotive and industrial end-markets. 

However, the robotics end-market is expected to have remained sluggish, negatively impacting top-line growth.
