Inflation progressed towards the Fed's 2% goal at the end of 2023, leading to strong stock market performance. The start of 2024 has been a bumpier ride, as the market switches between optimism and pessimism around rate cuts due to mixed inflation data, and while some of the semiconductors stocks have fared somewhat better, they have not been spared, with share price declining 7.8% over the last month. Teradyne is down 10.3% during the same time, and is heading into the earnings with analyst price target of $115.6, compared to share price of $97.6.
