How have this name's flags scored?

|---|---|---|
| Hyper-expansion — assets up ~31% in a year; aggressive expanders have historically lagged. | sample still too small to report (need ≥ 8) | |
These per-flag figures are observational — a flag firing is not a randomized assignment, so any edge can reflect what kind of names trip a flag, not the flag itself. Descriptive, not causal.
Scope: these are forward returns vs the S&P among names still covered at each horizon's end, within the curated universe — not a survivorship-clean whole-market backtest. Names later dropped from coverage are counted as attrition (not hidden), and single-session moves beyond ±300% are treated as split/data artifacts and excluded.

AI take — daily, AI-generated
AI leans positive
Teradyne's exceptional growth (57.9%), excellent PEG (0.4), and strong margins make it genuinely cheap on a growth basis; the 100% bullish sentiment is rare but warranted here.
