How it trades on rate days beta 0.64 to TLT · on the worst bond days it fell more than the market

How it trades on rate days

How TER has moved when long-dated Treasury yields rise — measured against TLT, the 20+ year Treasury fund.

  • Beta to long bonds, 1 year 0.64 — shows only a loose link to bond moves for every 1% move in TLT (20+ year Treasuries), Teradyne Inc moved 0.64% on average · correlation 0.08 · higher than 65% of US names
  • Beta, last 3 months 0.43 less rate-sensitive lately than over the year
  • On the 10 worst bond days −1.39% on average against −0.74% for the S&P 500 the 10 sessions of the past year in which TLT fell most, i.e. long yields rose most
  • Latest of those days −0.37% TLT −1.29% that day 2026-09-24

Daily total returns from the adjusted price series; a TLT down day is a day long yields rose. Beta = the average move of the name for a 1% move in TLT. Past sensitivity, not a forecast. An investment diary, not a recommendation.

Company snapshot — Teradyne Inc

TER in five paragraphs: what it makes and sells, where it sits in the Closelooknet stack, who it is priced against, why we track it, what we watch. Research diary, not advice.

What it does
Teradyne builds automated test systems that check semiconductors before they leave the factory, plus a separate robotics business making collaborative arms and mobile robots. Its Semiconductor Test unit covers wafer-level, device-package and system-level testing, with platforms for logic chips, microcontrollers, memory and analog or mixed-signal devices. Customers include integrated device makers, fabless designers, foundries and assembly-and-test subcontractors. It is based in North Reading, Massachusetts, and has a collaboration with Tokyo Electron on test cells aimed at AI and data-centre chips.
Where it sits in the stack
In our index, Teradyne sits in Layer 3, Assembly & Test, within the Testing & Metrology sleeve — the group of ATE testers, inspection and metrology vendors that keeps yield curves honest as chips shrink to each new node. It is a constraint on that layer because chips cannot ship until they clear a tester, and a customer of the volume growth coming from more complex AI accelerators and memory.
Who it is priced against
The diary's peer group, drawn from the Testing & Metrology sleeve, sits Teradyne alongside Onto Innovation, KLA, Camtek, PDF Solutions, Cohu, Nova and Aehr Test Systems. The comparison the desk returns to most is Advantest, described in the diary as the ATE market leader with Teradyne named the number two, stronger in automotive and analog test.
Why Closelooknet tracks it
Teradyne is a constituent of the Rubin Build-Out 100 and carries a Closelooknet score, with quality the strongest module and valuation the weakest. The diary has quoted it in a Market Structure report on bespoke semiconductor groupings, in a 101 piece on the testing bottleneck behind Advantest, and in a Morning 10 note on a broad AI-trade sell-off where its shares were named among the sharper decliners.
What the diary watches
The diary watches whether Teradyne's automotive and analog test strength keeps offsetting any slowdown in AI-linked test demand, and whether the Tokyo Electron collaboration turns into measurable data-centre test volume.

Teradyne Inc (TER) trades on US exchanges, classified under Technology, and sits in Layer 3 of the build-out stack. Constituent of Rubin Build-Out 100.

The Closelooknet company score reads 58/100 composite (momentum 57, quality 77, valuation 25) across 7 modules — the full breakdown, chart structure and analog history load live above.
