BULLISH
Texas Instruments’ shares slipped 3.3 % today after a sharp rise in oil prices and Treasury yields pushed inflation and borrowing‑cost concerns higher, even though the company’s year‑to‑date return remains robust at 43.5 %. The dip appears to be a short‑term correction rather than a fundamental shift, as the firm’s strong demand in industrial and data‑center segments—particularly AI—continues to underpin long‑term growth. Earlier this week, Texas Instruments projected a 60 % jump in quarterly EPS to $2.37 and a 24 % rise in revenue to $5.91 billion, while full‑year guidance now expects earnings of $8.42 per share and revenue of $21.7 billion, up 54 % and 23 % respectively from last year; this upside catalyst is likely to lift the stock further ahead of its earnings release. The company’s fair‑value estimate was recently raised from $298 to $324, and analysts are now targeting $340–$400, reflecting expectations of robust AI demand and capacity expansion. Meanwhile, implied volatility for the $185 call expiring August 21, 2026 has surged, indicating that options traders are pricing in a significant near‑term move, possibly tied to the upcoming earnings announcement. Institutional activity remains steady, with modest new stakes from Port Capital, Proficio, and overseas funds, signaling continued confidence but no material shift in fundamentals. The market will watch for the next earnings release to confirm whether the strong guidance and capacity build‑out translate into sustained revenue growth, and whether the AI‑related analog demand can offset any pricing pressure or demand risk highlighted in recent valuations. Finally, traders should monitor the evolution of AI demand and any updates on Texas Instruments’ capex cycle, as the company’s free‑cash‑flow trajectory and product roadmap will be key to sustaining the current upside trajectory.
Earnings Summary
Texas Instruments (TXN) is a global semiconductor company that designs, manufactures, and sells analog and embedded processing products to electronics manufacturers worldwide. The company operates in the technology sector, specifically within the semiconductor industry, and serves a broad customer base through direct sales, distributors, and its website. In the most recent two quarters, TXN reported earnings per share of $1.68 in Q1 2026 and $2.14 in Q2 2026, both above analyst estimates of $1.37 and $1.95, respectively, while revenue rose from $4.825 billion to $5.463 billion, surpassing the $4.527 billion and $5.300 billion estimates. Compared to the prior two quarters—Q4 2025 (EPS $1.27, revenue $4.423 billion) and Q1 2026 (EPS $1.68, revenue $4.825 billion)—the company accelerated its earnings growth and revenue trajectory, with EPS increasing from $1.27 to $1.68 to $2.14 and revenue climbing from $4.423 billion to $4.825 billion to $5.463 billion. Historically, TXN has delivered EPS beats in the last two quarters but missed estimates in Q3 2025 and Q4 2025, indicating a recent shift toward stronger earnings performance while maintaining a pattern of revenue growth. Recent news highlights a surge in AI demand driving a 12 % revenue increase and margin expansion in Q2 2026, as well as a focus on capital allocation decisions and R&D investments that signal management confidence in continued demand; the company’s cash‑flow strength and international revenue mix also suggest potential upside. Investors should watch for guidance on automotive and industrial revenue growth, capital allocation moves, and margin dynamics in the next earnings cycle, as these factors will be key to assessing TXN’s ability to sustain the current upward momentum.

Reverse DCF

What growth is priced into TXN?

RICH

At today's price, Texas Instruments Incorporated needs to grow free cash flow about 56.1% a year for the next 10 years to justify its valuation at a 10.36% cost of capital. Over its actual history it has compounded free cash flow at 1.0% a year, so the market is asking for 55.1 percentage points above its own delivered rate. On that basis TXN looks priced above what its own growth record supports.

Texas Instruments Incorporated is currently running 26.3% annualised volatility over the last 21 sessions. Measured against TXN's own 13 years of daily returns rather than a market-wide average, that is the 57th percentile close to its own typical level, against a typical reading of 24.4%. The distinction matters because a number that looks calm for one stock is turbulent for another, and the absolute figure on its own tells you neither.

TXN is trading -21.8% below its running peak. Across 12 full years on file, its median worst-drawdown-in-a-year was -19.4%, and the deepest was -30.9% in 2020. The current drawdown is already deeper than this stock's typical annual low point, which puts it in the part of its range where past recoveries began — and where past declines also continued.

Price sits +8.0% from its 200-day moving average. Against every other day in its history, that gap ranks at the 57th percentile a somewhat wider gap than its own norm. Over the past year TXN closed higher on 49% of sessions, and it is currently 1 session into a rising streak.

On September specifically: over 13 years of records, TXN finished the month higher 7 of 13 times, with a median return of +0.7% and an average of -0.1%. Its strongest month historically has been May at +5.3% on average, its weakest October at -0.7%. Seasonality is a weak signal on its own — a decade is a small sample and regimes change — but it is a real distribution rather than a rule of thumb.

Overnight risk is measurable too: TXN has opened more than 2% away from the prior close in 90 of 3,269 sessions (2.8% of the time), with the largest gaps running +7.4% and -7.0%. For anyone holding through an event, that rate is a better guide to overnight exposure than the intraday range.

Across the last 3 dated reports on file, TXN moved an average of 3.0% in the session after earnings, closing higher 2 of those 3 times, with a median move of +1.5% and a largest of +6.9%.

All figures computed from 3,270 daily closes between 2013-09-05 and 2026-09-04, split-adjusted, recomputed daily. Percentiles are against TXN's own 13-year history, not a peer group or index.
