Teradyne's Cobot Opportunity More Than Just Hype

What makes Teradyne (TER) interesting is the combination of a high-share, margin-rich, cash-flow-generating semiconductor test business with an emerging growth story in collaborative robots (or "cobots"), a high-potential new segment of the robotics market where Teradyne has established a strong initial market share and a business plan and ecosystem that may make it harder for established robot players like Fanuc (OTCPK:FANUY), Yaskawa (OTCPK:YASKY), and ABB (ABB) to muscle Teradyne aside and replicate their traditional shares of the robotics market.

Although there will be some above-trend years and Teradyne is a net beneficiary of increasing chip content and complexity, I believe the core semiconductor test business is a solid but not spectacular business. The cobot business, though, has legitimately exciting potential and should be the key driver of what I expect to be high-single-digit long-term revenue growth and double-digit FCF growth over the next 10 years.
