Teradyne, Inc. (TER): one to watch?

Why TER dropped

Teradyne didn't have a company-specific blowup: the stock fell alongside other chip-equipment and memory names after reports that SK Hynix was slowing HBM (AI memory chip) expansion, which revived fears of a memory oversupply, and as the new Fed chair pushed rates higher, hurting expensive growth stocks generally.
