Shares of Teradyne Inc. (TER) plunged 6.19% in pre-market trading on Monday, following a downgrade by Morgan Stanley analyst Shane Brett CFA, who maintained a "Sell" rating on the stock and lowered the price target to $117.

The pre-market plunge in Teradyne's shares reflects investors' concerns over the analyst's revised outlook and recommendations. However, it remains to be seen how the stock will perform during regular trading hours as the market digests the news and other factors come into play.
