Weakness Seen in Teradyne (TER): Stock Tanks 8.0% - Tale of the Tape

This continues the most recent downtrend for TER, as the stock is now down nearly 18.4% in the past one-month time frame.

This slump shouldn't be too much of a surprise to investors, as the company has seen 1 negative revision in the past few weeks and its current year earnings consensus has moved lower over the last 30 days. This suggests there may be more trouble down the road.
