Texas Instruments Valuation Analysis
Texas Instruments currently trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 32.75, representing a premium valuation relative to the broader semiconductor industry, according to SID market data. The PEG ratio stands at an elevated 90.23, suggesting that the current earnings multiple is not well supported by near-term growth expectations. The company's price-to-book ratio of 9.93 further reflects a significant premium to book value, per SEC filings. TXN offers a dividend yield of approximately 3.03%, positioning it among the higher-yielding semiconductor stocks and providing a notable income component to total returns. The $165.1 billion market capitalization places Texas Instruments firmly among the largest analog and embedded processing chipmakers globally. The elevated valuation multiples reflect the market's pricing of the company's long-term capital expenditure strategy and anticipated demand recovery in its core analog semiconductor business, though current earnings growth rates remain subdued relative to the multiple assigned.
Smart Money Activity for TXN
Texas Instruments registers a smart money composite score of 48 out of 100, reflecting a neutral overall signal according to SID market data. Institutional positioning is the strongest component, scoring a perfect 25 out of 25, indicating robust ownership and continued accumulation by large asset managers per 13F institutional filings. In contrast, insider activity scores just 1.5 out of 25, the weakest sub-category. SEC Form 4 filings reveal seven insider transactions over the past 90 days, comprising four purchases and three sales, resulting in a marginally net-positive insider buying pattern. Dark pool activity registers at 8.5 out of 25, suggesting below-average off-exchange institutional interest at current price levels. Congressional trading activity scores 12.8 out of 25, indicating moderate legislative trading involvement in TXN shares. The divergence between maximum institutional conviction and minimal insider confidence presents a mixed signal, with large external holders maintaining strong positions while company insiders demonstrate limited incremental commitment at the current valuation.
Texas Instruments Earnings Outlook
Texas Instruments has demonstrated an improving earnings trajectory over recent quarters, according to company earnings reports. In the most recent quarter reported on July 22, 2026, TXN posted earnings per share of $2.14, exceeding the consensus estimate of $1.92 by $0.22, representing an 11.5% positive surprise. The prior quarter saw an even larger beat, with actual EPS of $1.68 surpassing the $1.37 estimate by $0.31, a 22.6% upside surprise. However, the January 2026 quarter showed a slight miss, with actual EPS of $1.27 falling $0.03 below the $1.30 consensus estimate. Looking ahead, analyst estimates project EPS of $1.92 for the upcoming quarter ending July 21, 2026. The sequential earnings progression from $1.27 to $1.68 to $2.14 over three quarters illustrates meaningful recovery in profitability, aligning with improving demand conditions across Texas Instruments' analog semiconductor portfolio.
Wall Street Analyst Ratings for TXN
Wall Street consensus on Texas Instruments remains divided, with recent analyst actions reflecting a lack of directional conviction according to SID consensus data. In the most recent rating update on August 17, 2026, Cantor Fitzgerald reiterated a Neutral stance on the stock. Following the July earnings report, Rosenblatt and Benchmark both maintained Buy ratings on July 23-24, 2026, per Wall Street analyst reports. Conversely, Goldman Sachs reiterated its Sell rating on July 23, 2026, maintaining a bearish outlook despite the earnings beat. Mizuho also reiterated a Neutral position on the same date. The distribution of recent ratings — two Buy, two Neutral, and one Sell — illustrates the polarized nature of analyst sentiment around TXN at current levels. Notably, no analyst revised their directional view following the most recent quarter's 11.5% earnings surprise, suggesting that the beat was largely anticipated or insufficient to alter fundamental positioning among major research firms covering the semiconductor sector.
