MarketBeat calculates consensus analyst ratings for stocks using the most recent rating from each Wall Street analyst that has rated a stock within the last twelve months. Each analyst's rating is normalized to a standardized rating score of 1 (sell), 2 (hold), 3 (buy) or 4 (strong buy). Analyst consensus ratings scores are calculated using the mean average of the number of normalized sell, hold, buy and strong buy ratings from Wall Street analysts. Each stock's consensus analyst rating is derived from its calculated consensus ratings score (0 to .5 = Strong Sell, .5 to 1 = Sell, 1 to 1.5 = Reduce, 1.5 to 2.5 = Hold, 2.5 to 3.0 = Moderate Buy, 3.0 to 3.5 = Buy, >3.5 = Strong Buy). MarketBeat's consensus price targets are a mean average of the most recent available price targets set by each analyst that has set a price target for the stock in the last twelve months. MarketBeat's consensus ratings and consensus price targets may differ from those calculated by other firms due to differences in methodology and available data.

Texas Instruments
Bull Case

green Wall Street bull icon

Here are some ways that investors could benefit from investing in Texas Instruments Incorporated:

  • Texas Instruments Incorporated recently demonstrated strong financial performance by beating analyst expectations in its most recent quarterly report, posting earnings per share of $2.14 against a consensus estimate of $1.91 and generating revenue of $5.46 billion, which exceeded the projected $5.26 billion. This beat was accompanied by a 22.8% year-over-year increase in revenue, indicating robust demand for the company's analog and embedded processing chips.
  • The company has provided optimistic forward-looking guidance for the third quarter of 2026, projecting earnings per share between $2.23 and $2.57 and revenue between $5.7 billion and $6.2 billion. These figures are notably higher than the consensus estimates of $2.11 for EPS and $5.5 billion for revenue, suggesting that management expects continued momentum and growth in the coming months.
  • Wall Street analysts have recently raised their price targets and ratings for the stock, with the consensus target price increasing to $312.12, which represents significant upside potential from the current stock price of $258.44. Recent upgrades include Robert W. Baird raising its target to $385.00 and Stifel Nicolaus increasing its target to $360.00, reflecting a "Moderate Buy" consensus rating among 29 analysts.
  • Institutional investors are showing renewed confidence in the company, with several major funds increasing their stakes in the second quarter of 2026. For example, NEOS Investment Management LLC increased its position by 10.8% to hold 693,419 shares, and TD Waterhouse Canada Inc. grew its stake by 14.6%, indicating that professional money managers are accumulating shares despite recent market volatility.
  • Texas Instruments Incorporated offers a stable income stream for investors through its dividend, which currently yields 2.23%. The company recently paid a quarterly dividend of $1.42 per share, and with an annualized dividend of $5.68, it provides a defensive component to a portfolio that is otherwise exposed to the growth-oriented semiconductor sector.

Texas Instruments
Bear Case

red Wall Street bear icon

Investors should be bearish about investing in Texas Instruments Incorporated for these reasons:

  • The stock is currently trading at a premium valuation with a price-to-earnings ratio of 39.34, which is significantly higher than the broader market average. This high multiple suggests that the stock price already incorporates substantial future growth expectations, leaving little room for error if earnings growth slows or if macroeconomic conditions deteriorate.
  • There has been a notable wave of insider selling in the first half of 2026, with multiple executives, including the CEO and CFO, selling significant portions of their holdings. For instance, CEO Haviv Ilan sold 20,000 shares in May 2026, and CFO Rafael R Lizardi sold over 40,000 shares in April 2026, which may signal that company insiders believe the stock is overvalued at current levels.
  • The company's dividend payout ratio is currently 86.45%, which is quite high and indicates that a large portion of its earnings is being distributed to shareholders rather than reinvested into the business. While this supports the dividend yield, it may limit the company's ability to fund future growth initiatives or weather economic downturns without taking on additional debt.
  • Texas Instruments Incorporated has a beta of 1.33, meaning its stock is more volatile than the overall market. This higher sensitivity to market movements can lead to sharper declines in share price during periods of economic uncertainty or market corrections, as evidenced by the stock's drop from its 52-week high of $334.03 to its current level of $258.44.
  • The company faces intense competition in the semiconductor industry, where technological advancements and pricing pressures can erode margins. As a designer and manufacturer of analog and embedded processing chips, Texas Instruments must continuously innovate to maintain its market share against competitors who may offer more advanced or cost-effective solutions.
