Teradyne (TER) stock has surged 40.3% recently due to strong Q4 earnings and AI semiconductor test demand, but its current valuation and past performance during market downturns raise concerns about its resilience. While the stock has shown operational performance rated as Moderate and a Very High valuation, a detailed analysis of previous financial crises suggests TER has historically fared worse than the S&P 500 in terms of both severity of decline and time to full recovery. Investors are advised to consider a portfolio approach due to these potential downsides.
