Revenue increased from $752.88 million a year earlier, driven by AI-related demand across compute, networking and memory within its semiconductor test business.
The company said all business segments posted sequential growth and projected strong momentum into 2026, supported by AI-driven compute demand. For the first quarter, Teradyne forecast adjusted EPS of $1.89 to $2.25 and revenue of $1.15 billion to $1.25 billion, well above Street estimates.
Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT)
Caterpillar’s stock climbed 5.12%, closing at $690.91. It reached a new 52-week high of $691.38, with a low of $657.43.
Caterpillar reported results last week, saying higher tariffs weighed on manufacturing costs and margins, with the company citing tariff impacts as a key factor behind weaker operating profit despite strong sales growth. The machinery maker still posted record quarterly and full-year revenue, but said tariff-related costs and restructuring charges pressured profitability in the fourth quarter.

Iger had signaled plans to step back from day-to-day management and was expected to remain for several months to support the transition, as Disney prepared to report fiscal first-quarter earnings and target a CEO announcement in early 2026.
