Texas Instruments Slumps to 115th in Volume Amid Broader Market Consolidation and Subdued Semiconductor Sector Sentiment

On October 3, 2025, Texas Instruments (TXN) traded with a volume of $0.94 billion, marking a 24.3% decline compared to the previous day’s activity. The stock closed down 1.10%, ranking 115th in trading volume across the market. Analysts noted subdued investor activity amid broader market consolidation.

Recent developments suggest mixed sentiment toward the semiconductor sector. A decline in institutional buying pressure was observed, with volume metrics indicating reduced participation from large-cap equity traders. While no company-specific earnings or product announcements were disclosed, sector-wide inventory adjustments and macroeconomic uncertainty contributed to cautious positioning.

Market participants highlighted the potential impact of seasonal demand cycles on stock performance. With supply chain dynamics remaining a focus for investors, analysts emphasized the importance of monitoring technical indicators ahead of key resistance levels. The stock’s performance aligns with broader trends in capital goods equities, where profit-taking pressures have temporarily outweighed fundamental growth expectations.

To run this back-test accurately I need a few extra details and, importantly, to confirm that the chosen approach is feasible with the tools I have available: 1. Market universe • Do you want all U.S. common stocks (NASDAQ, NYSE & NYSE Arca) or another equity universe? • Should ETFs/ADRs be included or excluded? 2. Execution convention • Buy at today’s close and sell at tomorrow’s close (one-day holding period), or buy next-day open and sell same-day close? • Any transaction-cost assumption? 3. Practical note on tooling The current back-test engine operates on a single-ticker or event basis. Constructing a daily, 500-stock, volume-ranked portfolio would require a custom data pipeline that falls outside the scope of the built-in tools. – If you still want a full cross-sectional study, I can outline a Python workflow you could run locally. – Alternatively, we can approximate the idea inside the tool framework, e.g., test how SPY (broad market ETF) performs one day after high-volume spikes, or analyse a specific high-liquidity subset of tickers. Please let me know which direction you prefer (and answer items 1–2), and I’ll proceed accordingly.
