Texas Instruments stock eases after Q2 beat and Q3 guide
Published on 08/19/2026 at 10:10 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Texas Instruments stock eased on August 19, 2026 after a June quarter that delivered $5.46 billion in revenue and $2.14 in earnings per share, while the shares were last shown at $272.24 on August 18, 2026. The move came after the company also guided third-quarter 2026 EPS to $2.23 to $2.57, a range that gives investors a fresh read on the next quarter's pace.
Quarterly numbers still carry weight
The latest reported quarter marked 22.8% year-over-year revenue growth, and EPS of $2.14 topped the $1.91 consensus by $0.23. Revenue also beat the $5.26 billion estimate, which matters more than the day-to-day tape for investors judging whether the rebound is broadening.
That combination of a higher-than-expected top line and a firmer guide leaves the debate centered on durability, not direction. Analysts currently point to an average price target of $312.12 and a Moderate Buy consensus, which is well above the last shown price of $272.24.
Market level and valuation
The stock's market cap stood at $248.62 billion, with a 52-week range of $152.73 to $334.03 and a 50-day moving average of $292.17. The gap between the last price and that shorter trend line shows why traders are still treating the name as a valuation and execution story at the same time.
A second comparison stands out: the stock was up 63.1% year to date in one recent market summary, while the broader semiconductor backdrop has been uneven. For investors, that makes the next earnings print and guidance update more important than the recent headline noise.
What TI sells
Texas Instruments Inc. is best known for analog chips and embedded processors used in industrial, automotive, and electronics systems. That product mix explains why the company can post a strong quarter when end-market demand improves, yet still face pressure when customers lean on inventories.
Price check
Texas Instruments stock was last shown at $272.24 on August 18, 2026, with a market cap of $248.62 billion. The latest quarter, reported on July 22, 2026, delivered $5.46 billion in revenue and $2.14 in EPS, and the third-quarter 2026 guide spans $2.23 to $2.57 per share.
