CSCO close to 52 week high, if it pops due to its AI initiatives are we at the exact top since CSCO was part of the dot.com bust??? Half joking but we will see!?! When the laggards finally move we are usual close to the inflection point.

Looks like GSIT moving back to vwap at 11.55 during normal profit taking in later half of session. If 11.55 holds it will have another day to run.

Company OverviewSporting most major chip manufacturers as its customers, Teradyne (NASDAQ:TER) is a US-based supplier of automated test equipment for semiconductors as well as other technologies and devices. Revenue GrowthA company’s long-term sales performance is one signal of its overall quality. Any business can put up a good quarter or two, but the best consistently grow over the long haul. Teradyne’s demand was weak over the last five years as its sales fell at a 1.1% annual rate. This was below our standards and is a poor baseline for our analysis. Semiconductors are a cyclical industry, and long-term investors should be prepared for periods of high growth followed by periods of revenue contractions. Long-term growth is the most important, but short-term results matter for semiconductors because the rapid pace of technological innovation (Moore's Law) could make yesterday's hit product obsolete today. Teradyne’s annualized revenue growth of 2.2% over the last two years is above its five-year trend, suggesting some bright spots. This quarter, Teradyne reported modest year-on-year revenue growth of 4.3% but beat Wall Street’s estimates by 3.3%. Adding to the positive news, Teradyne’s growth inflected positively this quarter, news that will likely give some shareholders hope. Company management is currently guiding for a 27.5% year-on-year increase in sales next quarter. Looking further ahead, sell-side analysts expect revenue to grow 19.1% over the next 12 months, an improvement versus the last two years. This projection is commendable and suggests its newer products and services will spur better top-line performance. Here at StockStory, we certainly understand the potential of thematic investing. Diverse winners from Microsoft (MSFT) to Alphabet (GOOG), Coca-Cola (KO) to Monster Beverage (MNST) could all have been identified as promising growth stories with a megatrend driving the growth. So, in that spirit, we’ve identified a relatively under-the-radar profitable growth stock benefiting from the rise of AI, available to you FREE via this link. Product Demand & Outstanding InventoryDays Inventory Outstanding (DIO) is an important metric for chipmakers, as it reflects a business’ capital intensity and the cyclical nature of semiconductor supply and demand. In a tight supply environment, inventories tend to be stable, allowing chipmakers to exert pricing power. Steadily increasing DIO can be a warning sign that demand is weak, and if inventories continue to rise, the company may have to downsize production. This quarter, Teradyne’s DIO came in at 104, which is 15 days above its five-year average. These numbers suggest that despite the recent decrease, the company’s inventory levels are higher than what we’ve seen in the past. Key Takeaways from Teradyne’s Q3 ResultsWe were impressed by how significantly Teradyne blew past analysts’ adjusted operating income expectations this quarter. We were also glad its revenue and EPS guidance for next quarter both easily trumped Wall Street’s estimates. Zooming out, we think this was a very solid print. The stock traded up 18.8% to $171.40 immediately after reporting. Teradyne had an encouraging quarter, but one earnings result doesn’t necessarily make the stock a buy. Let’s see if this is a good investment. If you’re making that decision, you should consider the bigger picture of valuation, business qualities, as well as the latest earnings.
