Key Metrics
Top Statement Risk
Revenue stagnation and SBC dilution
Metrics are mathematically derived from official filings.
Deep Value Discount or Value Trap?
Teradata trades at a forward P/E of 10.22 and EV/EBITDA of 9.06, a steep discount to MongoDB's 183 P/E, per market data, suggesting the market prices in stagnant growth.
The forward P/E of 10.22 implies the market expects earnings to nearly double from TTM levels, yet revenue growth is flat at 0.5% year-over-year in 2026Q2, per income statement data. This disconnect suggests either a significant margin expansion is anticipated or the market is pricing in a decline. The PEG of 6.66, based on historical growth, indicates that the current valuation is not cheap on a growth-adjusted basis, warranting caution.
Margin Stability Amidst Revenue Stagnation
Gross margin held at 59.3% in 2026Q2, within a narrow 56-62% range over ten quarters, per reported financials, while operating margin swung from -8.1% to 15.8%, indicating volatility.
The stability in gross margin suggests Teradata maintains pricing power and cost discipline in its core software business. However, operating margin volatility, driven by SG&A spikes and one-time items, obscures the underlying earning power. Net margin in 2026Q1 was inflated to 75.5% by a non-operating gain, per income statement data, so investors should focus on operating margin normalized for such items, which appears to be in the low-to-mid teens.
ROIC Recovery Masks Underlying Volatility
ROIC improved to 12.6% in 2026Q2 from a negative -9.1% in 2026Q1, per reported figures, but remains below the 14.8% peak in 2025Q1, indicating uneven capital efficiency.
The sharp swing in ROIC, from negative to positive, reflects the impact of one-time gains and losses on a small equity base. Excluding 2026Q1, ROIC has ranged from 4.7% to 14.8% over the past ten quarters, per the data, suggesting that the company's core operations generate moderate returns on invested capital. The asset-light model, with capital expenditures averaging only 1.6% of revenue, means ROIC is driven primarily by operating margins and working capital efficiency rather than asset intensity.
Working Capital Efficiency Improves
Cash conversion cycle shortened to 36 days in 2026Q2 from 12 days in 2025Q4, per reported figures, driven by a DSO increase to 64 days and a DPO drop to 31 days.
The lengthening of DSO to 64 days in 2026Q2, up from 55 days in 2024Q4, suggests slower collections, which may indicate customer payment delays or a shift in contract terms. Meanwhile, DPO fell to 31 days from 55 days, indicating Teradata is paying suppliers faster, possibly to secure favorable terms. The net effect is a modestly longer cash cycle, but still manageable given the asset-light model and strong cash generation.
Leverage Normalizes After Aggressive Paydown
Debt-to-equity fell to 0.17 in 2026Q2 from 11.65 in 2024Q1, per balance sheet data, as total debt dropped to $99 million, dramatically reducing financial risk.
The deleveraging is a significant positive, with interest coverage improving to 8.83 in 2026Q2 from 3.17 in 2025Q2, per reported figures. This suggests that debt service is now comfortable and refinancing risk is minimal. However, the current ratio of 0.91 indicates that current liabilities exceed current assets, which could pressure liquidity if cash flows weaken, though the strong FCF margin of 121% in 2026Q2 provides a buffer.
Liquidity Tight but Cash Flow Robust
Current ratio dipped to 0.91 in 2026Q2, below 1.0, per reported figures, yet free cash flow margin surged to 121%, indicating strong cash generation to cover short-term obligations.
The sub-1.0 current ratio suggests that Teradata may struggle to meet short-term obligations if cash flows deteriorate, but the company's ability to generate $496 million in FCF in a single quarter, per cash flow data, provides ample liquidity. The quick ratio of 0.91, nearly identical to the current ratio, indicates minimal inventory dependence, which is typical for a software company. Investors should monitor whether the current ratio improves as the company continues to generate cash.
Misapplied Metric: P/E on Distorted Earnings
The trailing P/E of 20.50 is misleading due to one-time gains in 2026Q1 that inflated net income, per income statement data, obscuring the true earnings power.
The most commonly misapplied ratio for Teradata is the P/E ratio, because reported net income is heavily distorted by non-operating items, such as the $335 million gain in 2026Q1. A more appropriate metric is EV/EBITDA, which at 9.06 is more stable and better reflects the underlying cash-generating ability of the business. Investors should also consider P/FCF, which at 9.11, aligns with the company's strong cash conversion and asset-light model.
