Teradyne delivered a blowout quarter, with revenue more than doubling year-over-year to $1.33 billion, driven by surging demand for AI-related semiconductor test equipment. Gross margin expanded to 59.8%, and operating income jumped to $437.8 million from $90.7 million a year ago. The company also repaid its remaining $200 million in short-term debt, leaving its $750 million credit facility undrawn. While the results confirm the AI boom is translating directly into Teradyne's financials, the stock has already rallied significantly — the market had largely priced in this strength following the company's pre-announcement and Micron's strong results earlier in the quarter.
