TERADYNE, INC Quarterly Report for Q2 Ended Apr 2, 2023

Summary

Total revenues declined by 18.3% to $617.5 million, and net income fell by 48.4% to $83.5 million.

Teradyne ended the quarter with a solid liquidity position, reporting $649.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities.
