Glad I held my 4000 shares!!!!!!!!!

TXN 10Q due 4/23

Good question. Would need to research further..

Perhaps - but would AI capability compensate?

Not weighing in - just stating that it is part of the equation...

If their AI is superior .. or even adequate... this could be a trading opportunity.

"Revenue decreased 10% sequentially and 13% from the same quarter a year ago. During the quarter, we experienced increasing weakness across industrial and a sequential decline in automotive."

Perhaps the smart money sees continued increasing weakness across industrial and a sequential decline in automotive." The economy is not as good as the media claims. Further weakness in TI sector possible.

How competitive is Texas Instruments in the AI area?

First 12-bit, 29-kHz RGB LED driver family enables vivid color and seamless animation with zero audible noise

Source: PR Newswire (US)
DALLAS, Nov. 28, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Texas Instruments (TI) (NASDAQ: TXN) today introduced a new family of LED drivers with integrated, independent color mixing, brightness control and a power-saving mode. The LP5018, LP5024, LP5030 and LP5036 enable smooth, vivid color and reduce system power consumption. For more information, see www.ti.com/lp5018-pr, www.ti.com/lp5024-pr, www.ti.com/lp5030-pr and www.ti.com/lp5036-pr.

The devices are the industry's first to offer a 29-kHz dimming frequency, above human-audible range, to help designers of applications that use a human-machine interface, such as portable electronics, building automation and appliances, eliminate the noise typically heard when dimming lights. Additionally, designers can achieve smoother color and brightness-level adjustments compared to standard pulse-width modulation (PWM) solutions, by taking advantage of the devices' integrated 12-bit PWM generator.

New LED drivers from TI help designers reduce power consumption and improve total system efficiency in human-machine interface applications

Key features and benefits of the LP5018, LP5024, LP5030 and LP5036 LED drivers

High-resolution PWM dimming: The devices in TI's LP50xx family integrate a 12-bit PWM generator that operates above a human-audible frequency, at 29 kHz per channel, enabling smooth, vivid color with zero audible noise.
Ultra-low quiescent current: An integrated power-saving mode dramatically reduces power consumption to as low as 0.01 mA from the typical 9 mA offered in existing devices, improving total system efficiency in standby mode.
Multichannel options: 18-, 24-, 30- and 36-channel options provide independent color mixing and brightness control, while three integrated, programmable banks enable simplified software coding and ease of design.
Tools and support to speed design

Designers can download LP50xx graphical user interface software to easily configure the LP5018, LP5024, LP5030 and LP5036 LED drivers. Engineers can jump-start their designs with the LP5024EVM and LP5036EVM evaluation modules.

See how to implement sophisticated lighting patterns for end equipments with a constant voltage supply using the "Various LED Ring Lighting Patterns" reference design. The design utilizes two LP5024 LED drivers to dynamically adjust brightness without impacting contrast ratios in ambient lighting situations.

Package, availability and pricing

The LP5018 and LP5024 LED drivers are available now in the TI store. Additionally, preproduction samples of the LP5030 and LP5036 are available now in the TI store. The table below lists pricing and package type.

Watch This Leading Chip Stock At This Trade Level $TXN

Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:TXN) is a leading chip stock that has been declining since late January 2018. At that time, the stock traded as high as $120.75 a share. Today, TXN stock is trading at $107.15 a share. Traders and investors should note that the stock is still holding its 50-week moving average around the $107.00 level. A weekly chart close below this key support level would indicate another decline is in store for the shares. The next major support level for TXN will be around the $100.00 area. This is where the stock was defended in April and will be the next major support level for the stock. I will be watching TXN closely at this level for a solid buying opportunity.

Ever notice real companies have very boring stock forum boards?

My TI-83 Plus CE is not going into Deep Sleep Mode, even if I leave it alone for a few months. It is really frustrating, because I don't use it for the summer yet it still keeps wasting power. Please let me know if you have this problem too, and if this is possible to fix. Thank you and have a nice day.

Summit Partners started TXN at Buy but analysis implies downside:

Analysis

Hegde don't do it. I was in all the splits in the 1980-2000. I got out before the bubble burst. I was a millionaire at 37 in 2000/ I have thousands of shares I still have for a rainy day. but hell don't listen to me the bubble burst in 2000 co=wkrs stayed in and lost all their millions. I have no idea where you got in at because a few years back it went to 13 and now its at 70. If you have huge profits and are satisfied with them by all means get out. Make a good choice.

He's a smart man making money for himself. That being said, swing trade and flip this pig of a company and make some smart money for yourself as well. I have not invested in a stock for over 8 years. All I do is flip them any more. Only way to pull cash out of stocks quickly anymore. GLTY

How can anybody invest in this rotten company. When 3400 people were laid off in 2007 they asked Richard K. Templeton if he would take a pay cut. He said "NO". He's a rotten SOB. HOw can a CEO get paid as much as he does and own 1.2 million shares of stock. And the share price just keeps going sideways. He don't care he gets his stock for next to nothing. He's a greedy SOB.

Citi reiterated its Buy rating on Texas Instruments (NYSE: TXN). At the same time, Citi reduced its price target on the company's stock from $42 to $40.

In a research report published today, Citi states, "In general, we view TI's mid-quarter as a non-event, leaving our non-Nokia views unchanged and sector outlook unchanged. As such, we expect typical seasonal weakness to dominate near-term chip trading, perhaps exacerbated by the de-risking evident in the market. We look forward to improved conditions for chip shares in 2H11, albeit we continue to favor a stock-picking strategy."

Texas Instruments To Buy National Semiconductor

Last Update: 4/4/2011 4:05:39 PM

(MORE TO FOLLOW) Dow Jones Newswires (212-416-2400)

April 04, 2011 16:05 ET (20:05 GMT)

TI reports financial results for 4Q09 and 2009




Conference call on TI web site at 4:30 p.m. Central time today www.ti.com/ir

DALLAS, Jan. 25 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --

Texas Instruments Incorporated (TI) (NYSE:TXN) today announced fourth-quarter revenue of $3.00 billion, net income of $655 million and earnings per share (EPS) of $0.52

"TI's growth and improving performance reflect our focus on Analog and Embedded Processing. These are large, diverse businesses that give us access to the world's fastest-growing electronics markets," said Rich Templeton, TI chairman, president and chief executive officer

"In the fourth quarter, demand was strong across end markets without the usual holiday slowdown. Throughout, we believe customer and channel inventories have been lean. With demand continuing to be solid and inventories well below historical levels, our outlook for the first quarter reflects the likelihood of sequential growth instead of the typical seasonal decline

"We continue to make investments to support customers and drive growth, including the ramp-up of the industry's first 300-millimeter analog factory in Richardson, Texas," Templeton concluded

4Q09 financial summary

Amounts are in millions of dollars, except per-share amounts



4Q09 4Q08 vs. 4Q08 3Q09 vs. 3Q09 ------ ------ -------- ----- -------- Revenue: $ 3,005 $ 2,491 21% $ 2,880 4% Operating profit: $ 875 $ 51 1,616% $ 763 15% Net income: $ 655 $ 107 512% $ 538 22% Earnings per share: $ 0.52 $ 0.08 550% $ 0.42 24% Cash flow from operations: $ 1,000 $ 1,113 -10% $ 834 20%


TI's operating profit increased compared with the fourth quarter of 2008 and the prior quarter primarily due to higher gross profit, which included the impact of higher revenue and the benefit associated with higher utilization of manufacturing assets. In addition, restructuring charges were lower compared with a year ago

4Q09 segment results


4Q09 4Q08 vs. 4Q08 3Q09 vs. 3Q09 Note ---- ---- -------- ---- -------- ---- Analog: Revenue $1,289 $1,015 27% $1,184 9% (1) Operating profit $ 386 $ 78 395% $ 306 26% Embedded Processing: Revenue $ 412 $ 340 21% $ 393 5% (2) Operating profit (loss) $ 89 $ (2) n/a $ 75 19% Wireless: Revenue $ 732 $ 646 13% $ 675 8% (3) Operating profit (loss) $ 178 $ (87) n/a $ 110 62% Other: Revenue $ 572 $ 490 17% $ 628 -9% (4) Operating profit $ 222 $ 62 258% $ 272 -18%

The product categories in each segment are as follows: -- Analog: high-volume analog & logic, high-performance analog (includes data converters, amplifiers and interface products) and power management -- Embedded Processing: DSPs and microcontrollers used in catalog, communications infrastructure and automotive applications -- Wireless: DSPs and analog used in basebands for handsets, OMAP(TM) applications processors and connectivity products for wireless applications -- Other: includes DLP® products, calculators, ASIC products, RISC microprocessors and royalties


(1) The increase in Analog revenue from a year ago and from the prior quarter was primarily due to a combination of strength in power management and high-volume analog & logic. High-performance analog revenue also increased, but to a lesser extent. The gains in operating profit for this segment, both from a year ago and sequentially, were primarily due to higher gross profit

(2) The increase in Embedded Processing revenue from a year ago and from the prior quarter was primarily due to a combination of higher catalog and automotive product revenue. Revenue from communications infrastructure products also increased, but to a lesser extent

The gains in operating profit for this segment, both from a year ago and sequentially, were primarily due to higher gross profit

(3) The increase in Wireless revenue from a year ago and from the prior quarter was primarily due to strength in connectivity products and applications processors. Baseband product revenue was about even with the year-ago quarter and increased sequentially. Operating profit in this segment increased from a year ago primarily due to the combination of lower restructuring charges and higher gross profit, and increased from the prior quarter primarily due to higher gross profit

(4) Other revenue increased from a year ago due to gains in DLP products, royalties and calculators. Revenue from RISC microprocessors declined from a year ago. Revenue in this segment decreased from the prior quarter due to the seasonal decline in calculator revenue. This was partially offset as revenue from DLP products and ASIC products increased. Operating profit in this segment increased from a year ago primarily due to higher gross profit and declined from the prior quarter due to seasonally lower gross profit

Restructuring charges were as follows:


4Q09 4Q08 3Q09 ---- ---- ---- Analog: $ 6 $ 60 $ 4 Embedded Processing: $ 3 $ 24 $ 2 Wireless: $ 1 $ 130 $ 3 Other: $ 2 $ 40 $ 1 Total: $ 12 $ 254 $ 10

Year 2009 financial summary


2009 2008 vs. 2008 ---- ---- -------- Revenue: $ 10,427 $ 12,501 -17% Operating profit: $ 1,991 $ 2,437 -18% Net income: $ 1,470 $ 1,920 -23% Earnings per share: $ 1.15 $ 1.44 -20% Cash flow from operations: $ 2,643 $ 3,330 -21%


TI's operating profit decreased 18 percent in 2009 due to lower revenue. The impact of lower revenue was partially offset by reductions in operating expenses. Operating profit included the negative impact of $212 million in restructuring charges, which were down $42 million from 2008

Year 2009 segment results


2009 2008 vs. 2008 Note ---- ---- -------- ---- Analog: Revenue $ 4,270 $ 4,857 -12% (1) Operating profit $ 753 $ 1,050 -28% Embedded Processing: Revenue $ 1,471 $ 1,631 -10% (2) Operating profit $ 194 $ 268 -28% Wireless: Revenue $ 2,558 $ 3,383 -24% (3) Operating profit $ 332 $ 347 -4% Other: Revenue $ 2,128 $ 2,630 -19% (4) Operating profit $ 712 $ 772 -8%

TXN had really good numbers last night. I bought this dip.

Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) sharply raised its second-quarter guidance after the market closed Monday, and investors responded by buying.

TI shares recently rose 3.7% to $20.50 in after-hours trading. The stock has climbed about 26% this year.

In its regular mid-quarter update, the semiconductor maker said it now expects earnings of 14 cents to 22 cents a share on revenue of $2.3 billion to $2.5 billion, up from its April guidance of per-share earnings of 1 cent to 15 cents a share on revenue from $1.95 billion to $2.4 billion. Analysts expected earnings of 10 cents a share on revenue of $2.21 billion, according to a poll by Thomson Reuters.

In the prior-year quarter, the company earned 44 cents a share on revenue of $3.35 billion.

TI, one of the world's biggest chip manufacturers, has been winding down its business in wireless communications, where it believes growth will slow, and focusing on chips used in more high-end handsets and cellphones, where it expects outsized growth.

The chip sector has been on a wild ride since late last year as customers slashed spending and chip makers rushed to lower production or risk piling up unsold inventories.

Before TI issued its update, Pacific Crest Securities predicted the chip maker would raise its outlook to the higher end of its range because of bookings strength from inventory restocking by North American and Japanese customers.

Last week, Barclays PLC (BCS) raised its estimates on TI because of its improved cost cutting and factory utilization. The general manager of TI's mobile communications and computing business unit, Seshu Madhavapeddy, last week said the technology sector is bottoming out and companies are seeing a better performance in the second quarter compared with the first quarter.

TI makes chips used in phones, televisions, digital cameras and calculators.
