Let’s see how things are shaping up for the upcoming quarterly results.
Factors to Consider for Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments’ first-quarter results are likely to be positively impacted by the gradual recovery in its industrial and automotive end markets, which, along with its data center end market, contributed roughly 75% of total revenues in 2025.
TXN’s other end markets, including Personal Electronics and Communications Equipment, growth on the back of continued recovery in the semiconductor market, supported by strong data center-related growth, is likely to have positively impacted TXN’s top line in the to-be-reported quarter.
Customer demand trends are stabilizing, and customer inventories remain at low levels, which might have supported performance in the Analog and Embedded Processing segments during the first quarter. Our model estimates for Analog and Embedded Processing division’s first-quarter revenues are pegged at $3.57 billion and $682.9 million, respectively.
However, Texas Instruments’ first-quarter performance is likely to have been affected by rising geopolitical tensions and trade restrictions by the U.S. government, along with the U.S.-China trade war and tariff hikes, as TXN is a major player in China, accounting for more than 20% of its annual revenues in 2025.
As Texas Instruments is increasing its Lehi factory in Utah, it will incur costs. TXN's rising manufacturing costs due to planned capacity expansions and decreased factory loadings are likely to have been a major headwind for the company in the to-be-reported quarter.
