Predicted vs. what happened
What happened
Reached 7% of the predicted growth at its peak, without hitting the target.
The thesis — published September 26, 2025
Texas Instruments is seeing signs of steady buying and plenty of interest, which can lift the stock, but the price still looks debated. Recent checks suggest it may be priced a bit high and long-term profit trends are softer, so the picture is mixed. With borrowing rates calming, a short-term bounce is possible. We prefer buying in two parts and keeping risk small while waiting for clearer order growth in industrial and auto.
Primary drivers
- Signs of steady buying; more interest than usual may push price up
- News raises price worries, suggesting the stock might be a bit expensive
- Tied to car and factory markets, which can swing with the business cycle
- Optimistic mood contrasts with slower profit trends, creating mixed signals
