Texas Instruments reported third-quarter revenue of $6.06 billion and earnings per share of $2.62, exceeding analysts’ estimates, and forecast fourth-quarter revenue above Wall Street expectations. Revenue rose 28% year over year, while quarterly profit per share increased 77%. The company expects fourth-quarter revenue of $5.8 billion to $6.3 billion and earnings of $2.45 to $2.79 per share. The outlook points to improving industrial chip demand and stronger momentum for Texas Instruments’ AI data-center products. Unlike Nvidia, which makes high-performance AI processors, Texas Instruments produces analog chips that manage power and convert inputs such as sound, light and temperature into digital signals. Its products are used in smartphones, laptops, cars and factory equipment, making the company a closely watched indicator for the broader electronics and semiconductor industries. Operating cash flow over the trailing 12 months reached $9.9 billion, while prior company disclosures showed free cash flow of $8.42 billion and continued investment in manufacturing capacity.
