The investment world has been buzzing with news of Lmcg Investments LLC and their recent holdings boost in Teradyne, Inc. (NASDAQ:TER). According to the company’s latest SEC filing, the fund raised its TER shares by 19.8%, acquiring an additional 15,963 shares during the fourth quarter. As a result, they now own a total of 96,714 shares, worth a staggering $8,448,000 at the end of last year.
This sudden increase has sent investors into a frenzy as they try to navigate the implications of Lmcg’s confidence in Teradyne. However, it’s worth noting that Teradyne is already quite well-known for its role in developing and selling automatic test systems worldwide. In fact, their operations span across five different business segments – Semiconductor Test, System Test, Robotics, Wireless Test, and Corporate.
Currently trading at $89.88 per share on NASDAQ, Teradyne has been experiencing some fluctuation despite its status as a leading force in its industry. Over the most recent day of trading alone (March 5th), TER shares traded down $0.49 when compared to their daily average volume of 1,590,391.
Despite these changes in market value over time though – which can be attributed to various factors such as supply and demand – there are several key points that support why many continue to see promise in Teradyne as an investment opportunity.
For one thing, the company commands a market cap of over $14 billion and maintains relatively steady P/E and PEG ratios; currently sitting at 21.41 and 4.26 respectively. Their beta reading stands at an above-average rate of 1.56.
Alongside these figures is also evidence of positive trends both short-term and long-term: notably strong average volume on TER trades along with both fifty and two-hundred-day moving averages surpassing current market value.
All these factors make Teradyne, Inc. a persistently remarkable company in their field, and one that Lmcg Investments LLC likely saw as ripe for capitalization. For now, it seems their confidence in the automatic test system developer is shared by the broader investor community eager to get in on what may very well be another era of TER growth.
