Reverse DCF
What growth is priced into TER?
At today's price, Teradyne, Inc. needs to grow free cash flow about 78.8% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 14.14% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 9.4% a year, so the market is asking for 69.4 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis TER looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Teradyne, Inc. is currently running 75.6% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against TER's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 93rd percentile — an extreme by its own standards, against a typical reading of 35.0%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.
TER is trading -32.4% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -28.3%, and the deepest was -57.2% in 2022. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.
Price sits +1.8% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 36th percentile — close to the gap it normally carries. Over the past year TER closed higher on 55% of sessions, and it is currently 2 sessions into a falling streak.
On September specifically: over 14 years of records, TER finished the month higher 7 of 14 times, with a median return of -0.2% and an average of -0.5%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +5.9% on average, its weakest March at -1.8%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.
Overnight risk is measurable too: TER has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 256 of 3,268 sessions (7.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +10.3% and -8.9%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.
Across the last 3 dated reports on file, TER moved an average of 8.4% in the session after earnings, closing higher 0 of those 3 times, with a median move of -10.1% and a largest of -10.2%.
All figures computed from 3,269 daily closes between 2013-09-16 and 2026-09-15, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against TER's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
