What Texas Instruments does

Makes analog and embedded chips (power management, sensing, signal chains) used across industrial and automotive electronics.

Sells a very broad catalogue of standard chips to a very large number of customers, so no single buyer dominates, and chips stay in production for decades. It makes nearly all of its own output and is partway through a large factory build-out in Texas and Utah.

Products and services

  • Analog chips (power, signal chain)
  • Embedded processors (microcontrollers)
  • Legacy calculators/other

Customers

  • Industrial equipment makers
  • Automotive OEMs/Tier-1s
  • Communications equipment makers

Where it sits in the supply chain

  • Semiconductors
  • Analog & embedded chip design and…
  • Industrial/automotive electronics

What could go right

  • Industrial/auto electrification content growth
  • In-house fab cost advantage as volumes recover

What could go wrong

  • Cyclical industrial/auto demand
  • Chinese analog-chip competition

Moat: narrow (scale, cost advantage, installed base). Owns its own 300mm analog fabs, giving a durable cost edge in a highly fragmented analog chip market.

Questions

Who are Texas Instruments's main competitors?
Named competitors: Analog Devices (ADI), ON Semiconductor (ON), STMicroelectronics (STM), Infineon Technologies (IFX.DE). The cockpit's measured peer set (industry) also includes Intel (INTC), Arm (ARM), KLA (KLAC), Qualcomm (QCOM), Analog Devices (ADI), Mediatek (2454.TW).
Is Texas Instruments expensive compared with its peers?
On forward p/e it trades at 24.6× against a peer median of 23.6×, 10th cheapest of 19 in its peer set. For today's price to make sense, revenue must grow about 23% a year for seven years (Req g). Recent delivered growth is +4%, so the hurdle is +19 pp: the price needs faster growth than the company has been delivering — of companies that just grew 25–50% a year, 93.8% slowed down over the next four years.
How has Texas Instruments stock performed?
Over six months to 6 Nov 2026 the shares returned -3.6% against -14.4% for the median peer; over one year +71.5%.

How these numbers are made. Returns are close-to-close in local currency. Revenue growth and margins are trailing twelve months. Req g is the revenue growth that today's enterprise value requires for seven years at the company's own cost of capital; Delivered g is what it actually grew; the gap is the hurdle (honest precision about ±8 points, so read the ranking more than the decimal). No fair values, price targets or analyst ratings are shown, by design. Method and validation.
