Check out other analyst stock ratings.

JPMorgan: Texas Instruments reported strong results for the second quarter, with revenue, margins and earnings topping expectations. The company's sales came in at $4.45 billion, up 9.3% sequentially and 16% year-on-year, above the consensus of $4.36 billion.

Revenues were driven by "cyclical recovery trends and potential demand pull forward in industrial end markets and China geography," Sur said in a note. The impact of tariffs is “beginning to emerge" and could continue to create a "slightly weaker than seasonal demand environment as the year progresses.”

Benchmark: Texas Instruments managed to beat expectations in the June quarter. Customers ordered ahead to build inventory before the expected tariff increases, Acree said. The company's Auto business was the only segment to decline sequentially during the quarter, he added.

Rosenblatt Securities: Texas Instruments' gross margins expanded to 57.9%, topping the consensus of 57.4%, Garrigan said. GAAP earnings came in at $1.41 per share, ahead of the consensus of $1.36 per share, he added.

Despite the beat, the company's stock headed south during Tuesday's after-hours, due mainly to elevated expectations, the analyst stated. "On the cycle, management commented that tariffs and geopolitics are disrupting global supply chains and impacting visibility, but the cyclical recovery is continuing with customer inventories remaining low," he further wrote.

BofA Securities: Texas Instruments guided to third-quarter sales of around $70-$100 million, which came in lower than expected, Arya said. The guidance reflects 11% year-on-year growth, while expectations were for at least 13%, he added.

Investors were also disappointed by management's "more balanced tone," which was mainly due to uncertainties around US tariffs and China's order patterns, the analyst stated. "While macro uncertainty could mean a lumpier recovery, TXN and the analog industry are still shipping below trendline demand," he further wrote.

Price Action: Shares of Texas Instruments had declined by 12.30% to $188.49 at the time of publication on Wednesday.
