Expectations

Two Questions That Matter

The print will turn on these two things.

What will be the EPS for Q2-2026?

Given Teradata's history of beating EPS estimates, a strong EPS could boost investor confidence and stock price.

How is revenue growth trending in the current quarter?

Revenue growth is critical for sustaining long-term growth, and any signs of weakness could raise concerns among investors.

Edge

What the Street Is Missing

Why consensus could be wrong

The Street may be underestimating Teradata's ability to leverage its cloud services for revenue growth, which could lead to a stronger-than-expected performance this quarter.

Supporting Evidence

Teradata has consistently beaten EPS estimates, indicating strong operational management.

The options market is pricing in a high volatility move, suggesting that traders expect significant news.

Recent trends in data analytics indicate growing demand for Teradata's services.

Key Risk

If revenue growth shows a significant increase, it could challenge the current cautious sentiment in the market.

Edge

Thesis-Break Levels

Pre-commit to what would confirm each case.

Bull Confirmed If

EPS of $1.00 or higher would confirm the bull case and suggest strong operational performance.

Bear Confirmed If
