CluenexTeradata TDC
Teradata scores average on business quality (4.9 of 10). Here is why, in plain words, and what our sealed record shows.
Why it matters
- What Teradata does
Teradata provides enterprise analytics software and cloud data warehousing, charging large corporations to manage and query massive data sets.
- What it does best
Teradata excels at processing enterprise-scale data workloads that choke standard databases. Its free cash flow margin sits in the 95th percentile of its sector at 43%, fueled by sticky enterprise accounts that cannot easily rip out its core analytics engine.
- The main risk
Revenue contraction is the primary threat. Top-line revenue shrank by 5.0% over the last period to $1.7 billion as customers cut spending and migrated workloads, leaving little room for execution errors.
Quality, check by check
Scored against its own industry, from company filings.
Operating margin stands at 14.6% alongside a 43% free cash flow conversion rate. Cash generation remains elite even as revenue softens.
Switching costs form a wide moat locking in large enterprises who rely on its data warehouses for mission-critical queries. Replicating this deep enterprise integration takes years.
Revenue is contracting at 4.9% annually, sitting in the bottom decile of its sector at the 2nd percentile. The top-line decline continues a multi-year downward trend visible since 2021.
Debt-to-equity sits high at 2.4, but interest coverage of 10.0x keeps debt costs manageable. Free cash flow surged to $734M, marking a stronger cash position despite shrinking revenues.
Insiders
Executives and directors, from SEC Form 4 filings we read ourselves. Open market trades only; grants, option exercises and pre-planned sales left out.
