$TER

Does he own it?

No first-person buy/add/hold/size statement on TER. Always one name in broad sector baskets (memory supercycle, AI displacement, yields/testing). Explicitly excluded as a known large-cap; used as a size ceiling/benchmark for his actual holdings (AEHR, AEVA). In the basket tweet he says he owns many names but never singles out TER; the only positions he confirms first-person are AEHR and AEVA.

His thesis

TER (Teradyne) is framed as a large-cap beneficiary of the AI capex/automation supercycle, specifically in chip test/yields and silicon-photonics wafer testing. He treats it as a quality incumbent and a size benchmark for the testing space (alongside Advantest), but his real interest and conviction sit with smaller, under-followed plays like AEHR. TER is essentially named as broad sector exposure rather than a differentiated, high-upside idea.

How his view evolved

Consistent throughout: TER recurs as a familiar large-cap reference in successive sector/supply-chain lists (memory, AI displacement, CPO/photonics testing). Never elevated from passing mention to a personal position; view stays steady as bullish-on-sector, not a focused TER call.

Key points

• Recurs only as one entry in broad AI/semi supply-chain baskets, never a standalone idea
• Used as a size/quality ceiling benchmark for his real picks like AEHR, not as a holding
• No first-person buy/add/hold or weight disclosure; explicitly flagged as a known big player
