Analysis · TDC · Technology
Teradata delivered robust first-quarter 2026 financial results, significantly benefiting from a $359 million net pre-tax settlement with SAP. This settlement was a primary driver for the substantial increase in GAAP diluted EPS to $3.47 and cash flow from operations to $401 million.
