Teradata’s latest earnings and guidance in focus

Teradata (TDC) has just reported second quarter 2026 results, paired with updated guidance that points to revenue pressure in the near term but higher expected earnings for the full year.

The company reported Q2 revenue of US$410 million, with net income of US$46 million and diluted earnings per share from continuing operations of US$0.48. For the first six months of 2026, revenue was US$854 million and net income was US$381 million.

Alongside these figures, Teradata guided third quarter 2026 revenue to a range that would be 4% to 6% lower year over year, while GAAP diluted EPS is expected between US$0.27 and US$0.31. For the full year, management reaffirmed its outlook for revenue to be between a 2% decline and flat compared with 2025 and raised its GAAP diluted EPS range to US$4.43 to US$4.51.

Teradata’s latest earnings news, new AI-focused products on Amazon Web Services and a recent board addition have coincided with a sharp 7.17% 1 day share price return and 17.81% 7 day share price return. The 1 year total shareholder return of 70% contrasts with weaker 3 and 5 year total shareholder returns, suggesting momentum has recently picked up after a tougher longer term period.

Most Popular Narrative: 1% Undervalued

Teradata’s most followed narrative points to a fair value of about $34.88, which sits slightly above the last close at $34.39 and suggests only a small discount.

The accelerating adoption of AI and GenAI initiatives among large enterprises is driving a surge in demand for robust data management and analytics infrastructure, positioning Teradata's hybrid platform to capture new, high-value workloads and support sustained recurring revenue growth and platform usage.

Curious what sits behind that fair value. The narrative leans on a particular blend of margin compression, subdued revenue growth and a richer future earnings multiple. The full set of assumptions and timelines is where it gets interesting.

Result: Fair Value of $34.88 (UNDERVALUED)

However, Teradata’s story could change quickly if revenue headwinds persist, or if competition from cloud hyperscalers and open source options starts to pressure pricing further.
