Action:Reiterated
Date:05/20/26
The score is driven primarily by improved financial performance and standout recent cash generation, reinforced by an exceptionally low P/E valuation. Offsetting these positives are guidance implying FY2026 revenue pressure and some reliance on upfront revenue timing (creating volatility), while technically the stock is in a strong uptrend but showing somewhat stretched momentum indicators.
Positive Factors
Cash Generation
Teradata's TTM operating cash flow (~$698M) and free cash flow (~$679M) reflect exceptional cash conversion. Durable FCF strengthens liquidity to fund cloud product R&D, support services, buybacks, and debt reduction, enhancing capital flexibility over the next several quarters.
Negative Factors
Guidance: Revenue & Recurring Pressure
Management's FY2026 guidance implies constrained top-line momentum with recurring revenue flat-to-down and total revenue declining. Prolonged revenue softness limits room for organic investment, increases dependence on margin expansion, and reduces optionality for capital deployment.

Teradata Earnings Call Summary
Earnings Call Date:May 05, 2026
(Q1-2026)
| % Change Since: |
Next Earnings Date:Aug 10, 2026
Earnings Call Sentiment Positive
Overall the call conveyed a positive operational and financial start to FY2026 driven by strong recurring revenue growth, notable margin expansion, meaningful cash and balance sheet improvement from the SAP settlement, robust AI product momentum, and several strategic customer wins. The company also highlighted near-term and medium-term headwinds: FY2026 guidance implies revenue/recurring pressure, Q2 sequential normalization from upfront revenue will be a headwind, adjusted free cash flow excluding the settlement remains modest, consulting services revenue declined, and rising memory/hardware costs pose a risk into FY2027. On balance, the positive execution, margin expansion, product and customer momentum, and strengthened balance sheet outweigh the listed challenges.Positive Updates
Strong Revenue and Recurring Revenue Growth
Total revenue of $444M in Q1, up 6% year-over-year (4% in constant currency). Recurring revenue was $400M, up 12% year-over-year (9% in constant currency), driven by upfront on-prem subscription term license revenue that added ~5 points to recurring growth.
Negative Updates

Company Guidance
Teradata reaffirmed its 2026 outlook while providing detailed modeling assumptions: full‑year total ARR is expected to grow about 2%–4% (Q1 total ARR +3% reported / +2% constant currency) with total ARR stabilizing in Q2 and modest sequential dollar growth thereafter; recurring revenue is guided to -2% to flat year‑over‑year and total revenue to -4% to -2% (Q1 total revenue was $444M, +6% YoY; Q1 recurring revenue $400M, +12% YoY); non‑GAAP diluted EPS guidance was cited around $2.53–$2.57 (management also referenced a $2.55–$2.65 range and said they expect to be toward the higher end); adjusted free cash flow was raised to $320M–$340M (this excludes the $302M after‑tax benefit from the SAP settlement); additional assumptions include roughly 100 basis points of operating margin expansion in FY26, Q2 non‑GAAP tax rate ≈24%, weighted average shares ≈96.3M, FY other expenses ≈$22M, minimal full‑year FX impact to revenue, and a >10‑point sequential headwind to recurring revenue growth from Q1 to Q2 due to upfront term license recognition (with ~3 points of FX headwind noted).Teradata Financial Statement Overview
