Exchange traded funds (ETFs) trade just like stocks, but instead of ''shares'' investors are actually buying and selling ''units''. These ''units'' can be traded back and forth just like stocks, but can also be created or destroyed to accommodate investor demand. Each week we monitor the week-over-week change in shares outstanding data, to keep a lookout for those ETFs experiencing notable inflows (many new units created) or outflows (many old units destroyed). Creation of new units will mean the underlying holdings of the ETF need to be purchased, while destruction of units involves selling underlying holdings, so large flows can also impact the individual components held within ETFs.

Validea's Top Information Technology Stocks Based On Martin Zweig - 7/25/2025

Teradyne TER is scheduled to report its second-quarter 2025 earnings results on July 29.
For the second quarter of 2025, TER expects revenues between $610 million and $680 million. The company anticipates non-GAAP earnings between 41 cents and 64 cents per share.
The Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenues is pegged at $646.1 million, indicating a decrease of 11.5% from the year-ago quarter’s reported value.
The consensus mark for second-quarter earnings is pegged at 54 cents per share, unchanged over the past 30 days. This projection indicates a significant year-over-year decrease of 37.21% from the prior-year figure.
Teradyne, Inc. Price and EPS Surprise
Teradyne earnings surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters, the average positive surprise being 14.26%.
Let’s see how things have shaped up for the upcoming announcement:
Factors to Note Ahead of TER’s Q2 Results
TER’s second-quarter 2025 performance is likely to have been affected by continued macroeconomic uncertainty, including tariff risks, evolving trade policies and fluctuations in end-customer demand. This headwind is anticipated to have hurt the company in the quarter under review.
Teradyne expects a decline in Memory test system revenues in the second quarter of 2025, as customers continue to utilize previously installed high-bandwidth memory test capacity rather than investing in new systems.
In Mobile, TER anticipates lower revenues in the second quarter of 2025. While the company has not observed major pushouts in this segment, uncertainty remains around the potential impact on end-market demand.
Teradyne expects a small increase in cost of sales and operating expenses in the second quarter of 2025, while gross margin is now expected to decrease sequentially, driven by product mix and lower volume.
What Our Model Says
According to the Zacks model, the combination of a positive Earnings ESP and a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy), 2 (Buy) or 3 (Hold) increases the odds of an earnings beat. But that is not the case here.

Teradyne Gears Up to Report Q2 Earnings: What's in the Offing?

Investors eyeing a purchase of Teradyne, Inc. (Symbol: TER) shares, but cautious about paying the going market price of $96.22/share, might benefit from considering selling puts among the alternative strategies at their disposal. One interesting put contract in particular, is the December 2027 put at the $80 strike, which has a bid at the time of this writing of $12.90. Collecting that bid as the premium represents a 16.1% return against the $80 commitment, or a 6.7% annualized rate of return (at Stock Options Channel we call this the YieldBoost).
Selling a put does not give an investor access to TER's upside potential the way owning shares would, because the put seller only ends up owning shares in the scenario where the contract is exercised. And the person on the other side of the contract would only benefit from exercising at the $80 strike if doing so produced a better outcome than selling at the going market price. (Do options carry counterparty risk? This and six other common options myths debunked). So unless Teradyne, Inc. sees its shares decline 17% and the contract is exercised (resulting in a cost basis of $67.10 per share before broker commissions, subtracting the $12.90 from $80), the only upside to the put seller is from collecting that premium for the 6.7% annualized rate of return.
Worth considering, is that the annualized 6.7% figure actually exceeds the 0.5% annualized dividend paid by Teradyne, Inc. by 6.2%, based on the current share price of $96.22. And yet, if an investor was to buy the stock at the going market price in order to collect the dividend, there is greater downside because the stock would have to fall 16.99% to reach the $80 strike price.
Always important when discussing dividends is the fact that, in general, dividend amounts are not always predictable and tend to follow the ups and downs of profitability at each company. In the case of Teradyne, Inc., looking at the dividend history chart for TER below can help in judging whether the most recent dividend is likely to continue, and in turn whether it is a reasonable expectation to expect a 0.5% annualized dividend yield.
Below is a chart showing the trailing twelve month trading history for Teradyne, Inc., and highlighting in green where the $80 strike is located relative to that history:
The chart above, and the stock's historical volatility, can be a helpful guide in combination with fundamental analysis to judge whether selling the December 2027 put at the $80 strike for the 6.7% annualized rate of return represents good reward for the risks. We calculate the trailing twelve month volatility for Teradyne, Inc. (considering the last 249 trading day closing values as well as today's price of $96.22) to be 54%.

In mid-afternoon trading on Monday, the put volume among S&P 500 components was 1.95M contracts, with call volume at 2.44M, for a put:call ratio of 0.80 so far for the day, which is unusually high compared to the long-term median put:call ratio of .65. In other words, there are lots more put buyers out there in options trading so far today than would normally be seen, as compared to call buyers. Find out which 15 call and put options traders are talking about today.
