Texas Instruments Stock Falls 16% From 52-Week High Amid Guidance Concerns
Shares of Texas Instruments (TXN) have declined about 16% from their June peak, with the stock currently trading at $275.74 after a second-quarter earnings report that failed to buoy investor sentiment due to weaker-than-expected guidance. Despite strong Q2 results—revenue rose 23% year-over-year to $5.5 billion and EPS increased by 52% to $2.14—the company's third-quarter revenue forecast fell short of analyst expectations, contributing to the sell-off. Management cited price increases not yet impacting revenue as a key factor behind softer guidance. Texas Instruments remains well-positioned for long-term growth due to robust demand in analog and embedded processing segments, with data center revenue doubling year-over-year. The company also benefits from strong free cash flow generation ($6.5 billion trailing-12-month) and an attractive dividend yield of 2.55%, supported by a history of consistent increases.
