Teradyne: Tariffs, Short-Term Headwinds, But Undervalued
Summary Initiated a position in Teradyne at $108 due to its narrow to strong economic moat, despite not being significantly undervalued, and used a partial hedge strategy. Teradyne's revised revenue growth outlook for 2025 is 5%-10%, with mid-term growth expected at 12%-18% through 2028. Base case DCF derived Fair Value is $115.7 (33% upside from the current price); if they miss their mid-term targets by 20%-30%, Fair Value would be $90. Position adjustment according to economic moat and rating and a partial Covered Call helped me get ~9% return in ~3 months, even with the stock down ~20%.
