Texas Instruments IncorporatedQ3 guidance below consensus despite strong Q2 results

Texas Instruments shares are down about 16% from their 52-week high of $334 after second-quarter earnings failed to lift the stock, as investors focused on third-quarter guidance that came in below consensus. Revenue grew 23% year over year to $5.5 billion and earnings per share jumped 52% to $2.14, driven by broad-based demand across analog and embedded processing. Management guided for third-quarter revenue between $5.65 billion and $6.15 billion, below the $5.9 billion analysts expected, partly because price increases will not meaningfully impact revenue until the fourth quarter. The company highlighted that data center revenue doubled year over year and increased 20% sequentially, with CEO Haviv Ilan noting more tailwind ahead. Texas Instruments offers a 2.1% dividend yield backed by 22 consecutive years of increases and analysts project around 23% annual earnings growth, presenting a rare combination of income and high growth potential.
