Today's Trend
Teradata Corporation (NYSE: TDC) shares have moved higher, although the latest analyst estimate revisions are mixed and generally cautious.
- Zacks Research raised its fiscal 2026 EPS forecast to $1.79 from $1.76, slightly above the current consensus estimate of $1.78. This provides a modest positive signal for near-term earnings expectations.
- Zacks Research maintained a Hold rating on Teradata. Its updated projections call for fiscal 2027 EPS of $1.86 and fiscal 2028 EPS of $1.93, indicating continued earnings growth but limited analyst conviction.
- Teradata was included among software stocks trading higher in a broader market move involving Manhattan Associates, Agilysys, Guidewire Software and Pegasystems. The report did not identify a company-specific catalyst. Manhattan Associates, Agilysys, Guidewire Software, Pegasystems, and Teradata stocks trade up
- Zacks lowered several future EPS forecasts: Q3 2026 to $0.35 from $0.39, Q4 2026 to $0.36 from $0.38, Q1 2027 to $0.46 from $0.48, Q3 2027 to $0.43 from $0.44, Q4 2027 to $0.53 from $0.54, and fiscal 2027 to $1.86 from $1.89.
- The firm also reduced its Q1 2028 EPS estimate to $0.47 from $0.49, Q2 2028 to $0.48 from $0.49, and fiscal 2028 to $1.93 from $1.97. The broad downward revisions suggest analysts see some pressure on Teradata’s earnings trajectory beyond fiscal 2026.
Overall, the stock’s increase appears more consistent with broader strength in software shares and the small fiscal 2026 estimate improvement than with a major new fundamental development. The numerous downward revisions remain a headwind for longer-term sentiment.
