Zacks Equity Research
·3-min read

Texas Instruments (TXN) closed the most recent trading day at $201.29, moving +0.96% from the previous trading session. This change outpaced the S&P 500's 0.3% gain on the day.

Prior to today's trading, shares of the chipmaker had gained 1.77% over the past month. This has lagged the Computer and Technology sector's gain of 1.79% and the S&P 500's gain of 4.28% in that time.

Investors will be hoping for strength from TXN as it approaches its next earnings release, which is expected to be October 26, 2021. In that report, analysts expect TXN to post earnings of $2.06 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 42.07%. Our most recent consensus estimate is calling for quarterly revenue of $4.69 billion, up 23% from the year-ago period.

TXN's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $7.92 per share and revenue of $18.04 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +32.66% and +24.75%, respectively.
