Texas Instruments

Makes analog and embedded chips in its own plants

Overview

Texas Instruments designs and makes analog and embedded processing chips, the basic parts inside cars, factory equipment, data centers, and consumer electronics, and it sells one of the broadest chip catalogs in the industry. In 1958, its engineer Jack Kilby built the first integrated circuit, the building block of modern electronics, and later won a Nobel Prize for it. Its analog chips regulate power and convert signals such as sound and heat into data, while its microcontrollers act as small built-in computers, and TI earns money selling both to device makers. It also makes the graphing calculators many students use in math class. Texas Instruments was founded in 1930 and is based in Dallas, Texas.

Simplify's take

What believers are saying

Cash is flowing again: after factory spending, TI kept $6.5 billion in the year to June 2026, versus $1.8 billion.
New plants mean jobs: TI's Sherman, Texas chip plant opened in December 2025, on a site planned for 3,000 jobs.
Stock grants pay steady income: TI raised its dividend 7% in September 2026, its 23rd straight yearly increase.

What critics are saying

Its closest rival is growing faster: Analog Devices' sales rose 40% in its quarter ended August 2026, versus TI's 23%.
Expect merger cost cuts: TI's purchase of wireless chipmaker Silicon Labs, agreed February 2026, targets $450 million in yearly savings.
Expect to work on-site: all 835 TI job postings in October 2026 were on-site, with none remote or hybrid.

What makes Texas Instruments unique

It controls its own supply: TI makes most chips in its own factories and targets over 95% in-house by 2030.
It skips the middlemen: over 80% of TI's 2025 revenue came from direct sales, including its TI.com store, not distributors.
Insiders run TI: CEO Haviv Ilan joined in 1999, and CFO Julie Knecht, named June 2026, has 25-plus years there.

McDonald's, Texas Instruments and Lockheed Martin: three dividend stocks yielding 2% to 5%

Simply Wall St has named McDonald's, Texas Instruments, and Lockheed Martin as dividend stocks that yield 2% to 5% and are raising payouts. It says steady US job growth, driven by AI spending and hiring, and the chance of higher interest rates keep reliable income in focus. McDonald's draws recurring royalty and rental income from its franchise network. Texas Instruments, valued near $254.2 billion, made about $16.8 billion from analog chips and $3.0 billion from embedded processors. Its multiyear capacity expansion is temporarily weighing on free cash flow. Lockheed Martin, valued near $133.1 billion, earns most of its revenue from Aeronautics, at about $32.2 billion. It is moving munitions onto seven-year framework agreements that aim to triple or quadruple production. The screen found 39 more dividend payers.

Texas Instruments up 76% in a year as AI chip stocks stumble, with free cash flow at $8.4B

Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) shares are up 76.1% over 12 months, even as AI chip stocks stumble. Advanced Micro Devices fell 23.7% in October, and a semiconductor sell-off knocked 7.6% off Texas Instruments on November 5. The analog chipmaker's third-quarter revenue rose 28% to $6.06 billion, its third straight quarter of beats. Gross margin reached 64%, and operating profit hit $2.9 billion. Industrial sales rose more than 40%, data center revenue climbed about 95%, and automotive gained in the mid-teens. Trailing 12-month free cash flow reached $8.4 billion, up from $2.4 billion a year earlier, helped by $1.6 billion in CHIPS Act incentives. Fourth-quarter revenue guidance of $5.8 billion to $6.3 billion beat analyst expectations. The stock trades at $278.10, with an average analyst price target of $336.86. UBS cut its target to $360, citing risk of multiple compression.

Texas Instruments prices $2B bond sale to fund Silicon Labs acquisition

Texas Instruments has priced four series of senior unsecured notes totalling $2 billion to help fund its planned acquisition of Silicon Laboratories and related costs. The fixed coupons range from 5.000% to 5.750%, with maturities from 2028 to 2036. The deal deepens the company's embedded processing portfolio. Its success depends on how quickly Texas Instruments fills its new 300mm fabs with industrial and data center orders, while absorbing higher interest and depreciation costs. Cautious analysts warn that the new debt, on top of heavy factory spending, could strain returns if demand cools. The current analyst view points to revenue of $31.5 billion and earnings of $13.5 billion by 2029.

TI launches smallest multiprotocol Industrial Ethernet module and dual-channel IO-Link master

Texas Instruments (TI) today announced two devices for factory automation, robotics and industrial internet of things systems: the TICS100MOD communications module and the TIOM2212 IO-Link master. TI calls the TICS100MOD the industry's smallest fully featured, certified multiprotocol system-on-module. Engineers can switch between EtherCAT, EtherNet/IP and Profinet through a firmware update, avoiding separate hardware for each protocol. The dual-channel TIOM2212 connects sensors and actuators to Industrial Ethernet networks. It works with TI's Sitara processors and AM13Ex microcontrollers. Preproduction TIOM2212 units are available now on TI.com. The TICS100MOD will follow by the end of 2026. TI will demonstrate the module at electronica in Munich, Germany, from November 10 to 13.
