Expert Outlook: Texas Instruments Through The Eyes Of 15 Analysts

Texas Instruments's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NYSE">TXN</a>) short percent of float has risen 15.3% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 17.25 million shares sold short, which is 2.11% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 1.32 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Comparing Texas Instruments's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/pro/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Texas Instruments's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.71%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze?adType=benzinga-insights&amp;ad=short-interest&amp;campaign=wallstreetadvantage">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

10 Information Technology Stocks With Whale Alerts In Today's Session

Rosenblatt analyst Kevin Garrigan maintained Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>) with a Buy and a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/TXN/analyst-ratings" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">$216 price target</a> on Thursday.
Texas Instruments delivered a strong beat and raise on a recovery across all end markets, including industrial. Continued cyclical recovery drives the strong second-quarter 2025 guide as its customers replenish inventory from low levels.
Also Read: <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/04/44821235/texas-instruments-launches-advanced-auto-chips-to-cut-costs-and-boost-self-driving-capabilities" rel="noreferrer noopener">Texas Instruments Launches Advanced Auto Chips To Cut Costs And Boost Self-Driving Capabilities</a>
Management commented that it is difficult to determine whether customer orders are pull-ins before tariff impacts. However, order patterns are consistent with past cycle recoveries (no large orders or panic buying).
While the company has yet to see any impacts from tariffs, though this could change in an instant, Garrigan noted that due to its global manufacturing footprint and prior processes, it is in a strong position to help mitigate tariff impacts.
Garrigan noted that the company is one of the best-positioned to navigate this dynamic environment.
Texas Instruments sales for the <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/04/44966804/texas-instruments-q1-earnings-revenue-beat-eps-beat-strong-guidance-prepared-to-navigate-the-evolving-supply-chain-dynamics" rel="noreferrer noopener">first quarter of 2025</a> were $4.07 billion (+2% Q/Q, +11% Y/Y), above Garrigan&#8217;s and consensus $3.9 billion and $3.9 billion estimates, respectively.
Revenues were driven by Q/Q strength across industrial, automotive, enterprise systems, and communications equipment, which was offset by a Q/Q decline in personal electronics.
By segment, both Analog and Embedded Processing grew Q/Q.
Gross margins declined to 56.8% (-90bps Q/Q, -40bps Y/Y), above both Garrigan&#8217;s and consensus 55.5% and 55.3% estimates.
Operating margins of 32.5% (-180bps Q/Q, -260bps Y/Y) were above Garrigan&#8217;s and consensus of 30.4% and 30.5% estimates.
GAAP EPS of $1.28 was above Garrigan&#8217;s and consensus of $1.06 and $1.07, driven by higher top-line, higher gross margin, lower other expenses, and a lower tax rate.
On the cycle, management noted a continued recovery across all end markets, with industrials showing a broad recovery across sectors and geographies.
Inventories are at low levels across all end markets.
Due to uncertainty surrounding the semiconductor and macroeconomic environment, management is preparing for a wide range of scenarios for the second half of 2025 and 2026. The team remains cautious and is working with customers as the impacts of tariffs are unclear.
Management guided second-quarter 2025 revenue to $4.35 billion at the mid-point (+7% Q/Q, +14% Y/Y), above Garrigan&#8217;s and consensus of $4.15 billion and $4.10 billion.
Revenues are benefiting from a continued cyclical recovery. Gross margins will likely increase Q/Q.
GAAP EPS guidance at the midpoint will likely be $1.34, above Garrigan&#8217;s and consensus $1.22 and $1.21 estimates. Management expects an effective tax rate of 12.5%.
Price Action:&nbsp;TXN stock is up 6.83% to $162.55 at the last check on Thursday.
