4. Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ:TER)
Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) ranks fourth among the 10 robotics stocks to buy now as Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) hits 1 million robots. Trading at $369.09, with the stock down 13.63%, Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) has a short percentage of float of 5.08% and is backed by 80 hedge fund holders. Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) is a strong fit for this list because it combines two important long-term technology themes: semiconductor testing and advanced robotics systems.
Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) designs, develops, and manufactures automated test equipment and advanced robotics systems. Its test solutions for semiconductor and electronic products help customers meet demanding quality standards, which is increasingly important as artificial intelligence, data centers, advanced packaging, chiplets, robotics, and autonomous systems require more complex chips. In the broader robotics market, Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) is notable because it is connected not only to robotics hardware but also to the semiconductor infrastructure that supports AI and automation.
On June 23, Bank of America analyst Vivek Arya raised the price target on Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) to $525 from $365 while maintaining a Buy rating. The update followed a revision of the firm’s semiconductor industry models, with the total addressable market forecast for 2030 lifted to $2.7 trillion from $2.3 trillion. Growth is expected to be driven primarily by memory and data center demand, along with incremental recovery in automotive and industrial markets. That is relevant for robotics investors because robots, autonomous vehicles, industrial machines, and AI systems all depend on increasingly powerful and reliable semiconductors.
Earlier, on June 8, Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) unveiled an integrated test solution for AI and data center devices. Developed in collaboration with Tokyo Electron, the test cell solution supports the use of a known-good device. The solution integrates Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER)’s UltraFLEXplus platform with Tokyo Electron’s Prexa SDP to provide a production-ready path to high-quality device screening at multiple points in the advanced packaging flow. This is a technical but important development. As AI and data center device architectures adopt chiplet-based designs, known-good-device screening becomes crucial for protecting final yield, improving quality, and maximizing output.
The joint solution is expected to deliver a validated test cell that reduces integration risk for high-volume manufacturing. It also gives customers flexibility across complementary probe cards, manipulators, and interface technologies. For investors looking for robotics stocks, AI infrastructure stocks, semiconductor equipment stocks, and automation stocks, Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) offers a strong bridge between the physical robotics world and the chip testing systems that make advanced computing possible. In a market where NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA), Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ: TSLA), and other AI leaders are pushing the limits of computing, Teradyne Inc. (NASDAQ: TER) plays a quieter but essential role in quality control and manufacturing readiness.
