Teradyne experienced a 12% decline in its stock price last week, coinciding with significant market volatility where the major indices, including Nasdaq, entered bear market territory amid concerns over new U.S. tariffs. Teradyne's recent developments, such as its partnership with ficonTEC for silicon photonics testing and an investor proposal on political spending transparency, likely did not shield it from the broader market sell-off. The announcement of new leadership in its Semiconductor Test Division may have added uncertainty. Overall, these factors against a backdrop of market turmoil contributed to its recent share price performance.
