Teradyne insider sale disclosures show President and Chief Executive Officer Gregory Smith sold 4,000 shares on October 15, 2026, leaving him with 104,495.4075 shares. The transaction continued his selling activity over the preceding year, but the available information does not establish his reason for reducing the holding.
Key Takeaways
- Smith retained a substantial Teradyne holding after the 4,000-share sale.
- The SEC ownership filing was submitted on October 19, four days after the transaction.
- Companywide insider sales outnumbered purchases over the preceding year; those counts do not establish sellers’ motives.

Teradyne insider sale separates trade and disclosure dates
The SEC’s October 19 Form 4 filing record identifies Gregory Stephen Smith as the reporting person and Teradyne as the issuer. It lists October 15, 2026, as the reporting period, distinguishing the transaction date from the date the disclosure was filed.
The filing-detail page confirms the identities and dates but does not display the transaction-level share count or remaining ownership balance. Its scope is therefore narrower than the reported transaction details.
The sale reduced Smith’s existing position rather than eliminating it. It concerns the executive’s personal shareholding, not an issuance of new shares to raise money for Teradyne.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Smith’s shares sold over the preceding year | 30,813 |
| Smith’s shares purchased over the preceding year | 0 |
| Companywide insider sale transactions over the preceding year | 32 |
| Companywide insider purchase transactions over the preceding year | 0 |
Annual selling history provides context, not a forecast
Smith’s reported trading over the preceding year consisted of sales without purchases. The companywide figures likewise show more selling than buying, although transaction counts should not be read as the number of individual insiders involved.
The available information does not establish whether Smith’s sale reflected diversification, tax obligations, a prearranged trading plan or another reason. The trading history alone does not demonstrate a view on Teradyne’s future performance.
Teradyne supplies automated test equipment and robotics. Its semiconductor test systems are used to test chips during production, while its robotics products serve industrial and logistics applications. Those operations remain distinct from changes in an executive’s personal ownership.
Conclusion
Smith retained an existing stake after the sale. Subsequent ownership disclosures will show whether his holdings change further; this transaction alone does not establish his outlook for Teradyne.
