ASX vs. TER: Which AI Semiconductor Stock Should You Buy Right Now?
Teradyne (TER) and ASE Technology (ASX) are both benefiting from strong AI chip demand, but Teradyne emerges as the stronger investment. TER reported record Q2 revenues of $1.33B with AI-driven sales exceeding 60%, while ASX is expanding LEAP capacity ahead of schedule. However, TER's focused AI-driven growth across testing and robotics, combined with strong analyst sentiment, makes it a more compelling buy compared to ASX, which faces execution risks from multiple expansion projects and margin pressure from its EMS business.
