Texas Instruments Daily Volume Plummets 50.02 to 97th Rank as Tariff Concerns Weigh

On August 13, 2025, Texas Instruments (TXN) traded with a daily turnover of $0.96 billion, marking a 50.02% decline from the previous day’s volume and ranking 97th among stocks in terms of trading activity. The stock closed with a 0.17% gain, contrasting with earlier volatility triggered by tariff-related concerns.

A recent earnings report and guidance from the semiconductor giant highlighted ongoing challenges from global tariff policies. The company revised its third-quarter earnings forecast to an estimated $1.48 per share, below analysts’ expectations of $1.50. This adjustment underscored the persistent pressure on margins amid shifting trade dynamics, particularly in automotive and industrial markets where Texas Instruments holds significant exposure.

Historical backtesting of a volume-based trading strategy—purchasing the top 500 stocks by daily turnover and holding them for one day—revealed mixed performance from 2022 to 2025. While the compound annual growth rate reached 6.98%, the strategy experienced a maximum drawdown of 15.46%, notably during the market turbulence in mid-2023. This highlights the need for diversified risk management in high-turnover, short-term trading approaches.
