Daily closes. Earnings/event dots are placed inline.
Industries move in repeating boom-and-bust cycles. This shows where this stock’s industry sits in that cycle, stage by stage (recovery → expansion → supercycle → steady → deceleration → contraction), from its fundamentals (orders, revenue, capital spending), not the stock’s price.
A booming industry is a tailwind for the names in it; a contracting one is a headwind. Companies in the same industry tend to rise and fall together with the cycle, the way a tide lifts and lowers every boat in the harbor at once, so a large part of a stock’s swing can come from where its industry sits rather than from the company itself. It’s context for reading the company’s results, not a buy/sell call. Full explanation →
Semiconductors is in supercycle. Describes the industry's cycle state, not a call on this stock.
The stage band shows the industry’s cycle over the chart’s timeline (each color a stage); a ▼ marks a quarter its growth inflected down — amber is an unconfirmed watch, red is confirmed the next quarter. Use “Overlay cycle on chart” to tint the price chart by stage. The industry’s fundamentals, not a signal on this stock.
Primary pillar under pressure — EPS rises to $1.91 in Q2 2026: EPS $2.14 vs target $1.91.

View ValuationModerate volatility — typically moves about 2% a day.
View RiskTexas Instruments must continue to leverage end-market strength and data center demand to justify its price. Revenue grew 23% year over year, and the latest quarter beat expectations with an EPS of $2.14 against a consensus of $1.91. It trades at 40× P/E versus a peer median of 48×, indicating that the price reflects less growth than forecasted. The primary risk is the potential for TXN to cut guidance, which could lead to a significant negative impact. Peer multiples imply a price roughly in line with where it trades. The thesis is on watch due to pressure on a primary pillar.
