Texas Instruments Shares Climb 1.32% on $920M Volume Ranking 104th Amid Industrial Demand and Strategic Partnerships

Texas Instruments (TXN) closed 1.32% higher on September 24, 2025, with a trading volume of $0.92 billion, ranking 104th in market activity for the day. The stock’s performance reflects a mix of sector-specific dynamics and broader market sentiment. Analysts noted that the chipmaker’s recent earnings report highlighted sustained demand in industrial and automotive segments, reinforcing confidence in its long-term growth trajectory. Meanwhile, macroeconomic data on global semiconductor utilization rates showed marginal improvements, aligning with Texas Instruments’ strategic focus on high-margin markets.

Recent corporate developments also influenced investor behavior. The company announced an expanded partnership with a leading automotive supplier to integrate advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) in next-generation vehicles. This collaboration is expected to drive incremental revenue over the next two fiscal years. Separately, Texas Instruments reiterated its commitment to maintaining a disciplined capital allocation strategy, with $2 billion earmarked for share buybacks in 2025. These measures underscore management’s emphasis on shareholder returns amid a cautiously optimistic earnings outlook.

To produce a rigorous back-test I’ll need to pin down a few practical details that aren’t yet specified: 1. Universe • Which market do you want the “top-500 stocks by daily trading volume” selected from? (e.g., all U.S. listed equities, S&P 500 constituents only, a specific exchange such as NASDAQ, etc.). • Should ETFs be included or only common stocks? 2. Rebalancing / execution price • Do we buy the list at the same-day close and exit next-day close, or enter on the next-day open and exit at that day’s close? (The latter is often used to avoid look-ahead bias.) 3. Weighting scheme • Equal-weight each of the 500 names, or weight by (for example) relative trading volume? 4. Slippage & trading costs • Should we assume zero transaction costs, or apply a commission/slippage assumption? 5. Benchmark (optional) • Do you want the strategy compared to any benchmark index (e.g., SPY) in the report? Let me know your preferences on the above points and I’ll generate the back-test accordingly.
