Shares of chip stocks are trading lower in sympathy with ASML, which fell after issuing soft guidance. Some stocks in the sector may also be down on reports indicating the US is discussing curbing chip exports to some countries.

Investors often turn to recommendations made by Wall Street analysts before making a Buy, Sell, or Hold decision about a stock. While media reports about rating changes by these brokerage-firm employed (or sell-side) analysts often affect a stock&#39;s price, do they really matter?
Let&#39;s take a look at what these Wall Street heavyweights have to say about Teradyne (NASDAQ: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ter#NASDAQ">TER</a>) before we discuss the reliability of brokerage recommendations and how to use them to your advantage.
Teradyne currently has an average brokerage recommendation of 1.81, on a scale of 1 to 5 (Strong Buy to Strong Sell), calculated based on the actual recommendations (Buy, Hold, Sell, etc.) made by 16 brokerage firms. An ABR of 1.81 approximates between Strong Buy and Buy.
Of the 16 recommendations that derive the current ABR, 10 are Strong Buy, representing 62.5% of all recommendations.
<h2>Brokerage Recommendation Trends for TER</h2>
<img alt="Broker Rating Breakdown Chart for TER" class="chart" src="https://staticx-tuner.zacks.com/images/yesopchart/brokerage_bar/TER_10112024.png" style="width:100%" title="" /> 
The ABR suggests buying Teradyne, but making an investment decision solely on the basis of this information might not be a good idea. According to several studies, brokerage recommendations have little to no success guiding investors to choose stocks with the most potential for price appreciation.
Are you wondering why? The vested interest of brokerage firms in a stock they cover often results in a strong positive bias of their analysts in rating it. Our research shows that for every &quot;Strong Sell&quot; recommendation, brokerage firms assign five &quot;Strong Buy&quot; recommendations.
In other words, their interests aren&#39;t always aligned with retail investors, rarely indicating where the price of a stock could actually be heading. Therefore, the best use of this information could be validating your own research or an indicator that has proven to be highly successful in predicting a stock&#39;s price movement.
Zacks Rank, our proprietary stock rating tool with an impressive externally audited track record, categorizes stocks into five groups, ranging from Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) to Zacks Rank #5 (Strong Sell), and is an effective indicator of a stock&#39;s price performance in the near future. Therefore, using the ABR to validate the Zacks Rank could be an efficient way of making a profitable investment decision.
<h2>Zacks Rank Should Not Be Confused With ABR</h2>
Although both Zacks Rank and ABR are displayed in a range of 1-5, they are different measures altogether.
Broker recommendations are the sole basis for calculating the ABR, which is typically displayed in decimals (such as 1.28). The Zacks Rank, on the other hand, is a quantitative model designed to harness the power of earnings estimate revisions. It is displayed in whole numbers -- 1 to 5.
Analysts employed by brokerage firms have been and continue to be overly optimistic with their recommendations. Since the ratings issued by these analysts are more favorable than their research would support because of the vested interest of their employers, they mislead investors far more often than they guide.
In contrast, the Zacks Rank is driven by earnings estimate revisions. And near-term stock price movements are strongly correlated with trends in earnings estimate revisions, according to empirical research.
In addition, the different Zacks Rank grades are applied proportionately to all stocks for which brokerage analysts provide current-year earnings estimates. In other words, this tool always maintains a balance among its five ranks.
There is also a key difference between the ABR and Zacks Rank when it comes to freshness. When you look at the ABR, it may not be up-to-date. Nonetheless, since brokerage analysts constantly revise their earnings estimates to reflect changing business trends, and their actions get reflected in the Zacks Rank quickly enough, it is always timely in predicting future stock prices.
<h2>Should You Invest in TER?</h2>
Looking at the earnings estimate revisions for Teradyne, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for the current year has remained unchanged over the past month at $3.02.
Analysts&#39; steady views regarding the company&#39;s earnings prospects, as indicated by an unchanged consensus estimate, could be a legitimate reason for the stock to perform in line with the broader market in the near term.
The size of the recent change in the consensus estimate, along with three other factors related to earnings estimates, has resulted in a Zacks Rank #3 (Hold) for Teradyne.
It may therefore be prudent to be a little cautious with the Buy-equivalent ABR for Teradyne.

Teradyne Is Considered a Good Investment by Brokers: Is That True?

Shares of companies in the broader semiconductor and chip sector are trading lower amid overall market weakness after Iran launched a missile attack on Israel.

Teradyne's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NYSE">TER</a>) short percent of float has risen 6.32% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 4.16 million shares sold short, which is 3.03% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.34 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Teradyne Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1727787626_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Teradyne has grown since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to fall in the near-term but traders should be aware that more shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Teradyne's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Teradyne's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 6.81%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Nvidia Shares Fall On Unimpressive Guidance</h3>
Nvidia&#8217;s shares failed to rebound after a negative reaction in Wednesday&#8217;s post-market hours.
The Santa Clara, California-based company reported quarterly revenue of $30 billion, beating estimates of $28.86 billion, reflecting a 15% increase from the previous quarter and an impressive 122% year-over-year growth.
Net income reached $16.6 billion, up 12% from the prior quarter and a significant 168% increase compared to the same quarter last year. Earnings per share came in at 68 cents, surpassing the expected 64 cents.
Despite surpassing Wall Street&#8217;s revenue and earnings forecasts, Nvidia&#8217;s outlook failed to meet investors' already lofty expectations for the coming quarters. The company projected this quarter's revenue at $32.5 billion, plus or minus 2%, slightly above the estimated $31.9 billion, but not enough to excite the market.

Investors likely viewed Nvidia's quarterly results as a standalone event, opting for caution as the company's guidance did not significantly exceed expectations. 
Yet, they maintained a generally positive sentiment toward the broader market. Competitors of the AI giant experienced a marked rally, deviating from their usual trend of closely following Nvidia&#8217;s performance. 
&#8220;We believe Nvidia's comments on Data Center demand were constructive,&#8221; Toshiya Hari, an analyst at Goldman Sachs, stated. The company&#8217;s outlook for data center demand bodes well for other semiconductor firms involved in the AI infrastructure build-out.
Hari highlighted &#8220;ongoing tightness in High-Bandwidth Memory as a material positive for Buy-rated Micron Technology Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>).&#8221;

Semiconductor ETFs Rally Despite Nvidia Dip: 10 Chipmakers Defy The AI Darling's Drop

Shares of semiconductor and chip stocks are trading higher in possible reaction to NVIDIA's earnings report. NVIDIA fell despite better-than-expected financial results.

With NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) earnings in focus this week, analysts highlight key trends including the rise of artificial intelligence, strong demand from China, and geopolitical restrictions as crucial drivers for <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/semiconductors">the semiconductor industry.</a>
Nvidia Earnings: Analysts expect Nvidia to report revenue of $28.7 billion for the second quarter, compared to $13.5 billion reported in last year's second quarter, according to data <a href="https://bzresearch.myclickfunnels.com/benzinga-pro-content-webinar-registration/?utm_source=BZprocontent082624&amp;t=be2bearmibe3na1">from Benzinga Pro.</a>
The company has beaten revenue estimates in eight straight quarters and nine of the last 10 quarters.
Analysts see Nvidia reporting second-quarter earnings per share of 64 cents compared to 27 cents in last year's second quarter. The company has beat earnings estimates from analysts in six straight quarters and eight of the last 10 quarters.
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C.J. Muse calls Nvidia one of the top picks for the second half of 2024 ahead of the earnings report.
"Stick with AI first and foremost," Muse said of the semiconductor sector.
Muse said when it comes to semiconductor companies and AI, "you either have it or you don't."
"2Q continued to show a divergence between the haves and have-nots, with anything AI-related thriving, while other areas remain in the cyclical doldrums."
The analyst sees China demand showing relative strength, which could be a positive for Nvidia and the sector. Geopolitical tentions that are at the forefront of investor concerns appear to have a minimal impact on the companies based on results and guidance, the analyst said.
Muse said the delay of Nvidia's Blackwell is a real concern, but not on the level some are expecting.
"A 1-2 month delay makes little to no difference to our thesis on the name. Demand remains robust and supply remains tight."
Muse said the Blackwell concerns being overdone makes Nvidia's valuation "too cheap to ignore."

Other Semiconductor Picks: Muse highlights Nvidia as a top winner in the semiconductor sector for the second half of 2024 alongside Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), Micron Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MU#NASDAQ">MU</a>), Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WDC#NASDAQ">WDC</a>), NXP Semiconductors (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NXPI#NASDAQ">NXPI</a>), ASML Holdings (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) and Teradyne Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>) as top picks.
Broadcom, Micron, Teradyne and Marvell Technology (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MRVL#NASDAQ">MRVL</a>) are highlighted as likely outperformers for the AI theme according to the analyst.
"Spending patterns remain robust and we see no slowdown over the mid-term given criticality of investments. This group saw some of the greatest pullbacks during the recent SOX rollercoaster," Muse said of NVDA, AVGO, MU, MRVL and TER as AI picks.
The analyst mentions Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) as a potential value pick with its book value attractive, but not enough catalysts to drive upside for the stock.
"One would have to believe risk/reward is biased higher, and this will be an argument many make here."
Muse said this is the cheapest Intel has traded on a book value basis over the last three decades. "At the same time, the company is facing meaningful structural headwinds today and a still very uphill battle to regain its footing," Muse adds.
NVDA Price Action: Nvidia shares are down 3% to $126.90 on Monday, versus a 52-week trading range of $39.23 to $195.95. Nvidia stock is up over 150% year-to-date in 2024.

Nvidia Stock, Semiconductor Sector Split Between AI Winners And Losers: Analyst Says 'Stick With AI First And Foremost'

Shares of semiconductor stocks are trading higher amid overall market strength following Fed Chair Powell's comments about the economy and future rate cuts.

Cantor Fitzgerald analyst C J Muse upgraded Teradyne Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TER#NASDAQ">TER</a>) from Neutral to Overweight and a <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TER/analyst-ratings" rel="noreferrer noopener">$160&nbsp;price target</a>.
Muse termed Teradyne one of the sneakier AI plays in semiconductors, adding it to its Top Picks list. He said it has excellent leverage for networking and high-bandwidth memory&nbsp;(HBM) and is growing in traction on the Custom Silicon side of the house.
Teradyne is also well-levered to a broader industry recovery given an outsized share in Auto or Industrial test, strong positioning in the robotics market, and a solid exposure in the mobile market, where underutilized capacity has been reallocated to compute over the past few quarters, resulting in a robust setup for capacity builds once demand inevitably recovers, the analyst added.
Over the past five years, Teradyne has essentially traded in line with the SOX and at a slight premium to the front-end equipment suppliers, rerating to a ~20x multiple on average versus a ~15x multiple on average over the prior five years.
He added that Teradyne has traded more in the 20x-30x range over the past two years, benefiting from multiple expansions across the semiconductor industry.
The analyst writes that 25x is a more than fair multiple today, with upside potential with a greater appreciation of Nvidia Corp&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) AI exposure. Taken together and discounting back, the analyst noted a fair value of $160 today (+22% upside) with a clear path higher after that.
Looking forward, Muse noted a path to $200+ as the discounting mechanism is removed, and the multiple potentially expands as investors seek out AI exposure beyond the core Nvidia, Broadcom Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AVGO#NASDAQ">AVGO</a>), and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).&nbsp;&nbsp;
Given the profile of the company&#8217;s exposure, scarcity value in AI-leverage, and the path for upside to consensus estimates, Muse expects calendar years 2024 and 2025 EPS tracking to $3.10+ and $5.00+ versus consensus $3.03 and $4.69, and earnings power tracking towards the high end of the company&#8217;s target model in calendar year 2026.
Price Action: TER stock traded higher by 0.93% at $132.96 at the last check on Friday.
