On April 8, 2025, Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) closed at $152.18, marking a 5.19% decline from the previous day. The trading volume was 20.66 billion, a 26.64% decrease from the previous day, placing it at the 36th position in the day's trading volume rankings.

Texas Instruments Incorporated, headquartered in Dallas, Texas, is a leading designer, manufacturer, and seller of semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers.

With a market capitalization of $140.13 billion, Texas Instruments is a significant player in the semiconductor industry.

On April 4, 2025, shares of Texas Instruments plummeted after China announced a 34% tariff on all U.S. imports, intensifying trade war tensions. This move was particularly challenging for U.S. chipmakers like Texas Instruments, as a significant portion of their revenue depends on demand from the Chinese market. The negative market reaction was likely driven by year-over-year declines in its top and bottom-line figures, with its embedded processing segment seeing a notable 18.5% drop in revenue and a sharp 70.3% decline in operating profit.

Despite exceeding expectations with net income of $1.30 per share and revenue of $4 billion in its Q4 results reported on January 23, 2025, the stock fell 7.5% the following day. The company is expected to announce its fiscal Q1 earnings for 2025 after the market closes on April 23, 2025. Analysts project this semiconductor giant to report a profit of $1.06 per share, down 11.7% from $1.20 per share in the year-ago quarter. The company has a promising trajectory of consistently beating Wall Street's bottom-line estimates in each of the last four quarters. Its earnings of $1.30 per share in the previous quarter topped the consensus estimate by a notable margin of 9.2%.
