Justa, I have a few TER shares. It's a very solid company, perhaps second only to AMAT among the semi equips. It dominates (with Advantest of Japan; other players with much lower market share, from memory, are CMOS and LTXX) the automated test equipment subsector.

TER has also diversified into telecom equip and even software testing; early for me to see how that's going. Recently it seems to have stepped a bit into EGLS territory. Its dynamics is a bit different from AMAT, NVLS, etc. as it is more of a back-end company. I think its book-to-bill tends to fluctuate a bit more than others (except, perhaps, KLIC) because of this.

It should survive, perhaps stronger, any downturn, and take off whenever the upleg occurs.
