Texas Instruments (TI) raised its first-quarter forecast, signalling a possible recovery in the analog chip market, SiliconANGLE reported on Tuesday.
TI's fourth-quarter results missed market expectations, but its outlook for improved performance lifted investor expectations and sent the stock up more than 9 percent, the company said.
Texas Instruments posted fourth-quarter earnings per share of $1.27 and revenue of $4.42 billion, below Wall Street estimates of $1.29 and $4.44 billion. It forecast first-quarter EPS of $1.22 to $1.48 and revenue of $4.32 billion to $4.68 billion, topping market expectations.
TI CEO Haviv Ilan (하비브 일란) said, "Orders rose steadily during the fourth quarter, and customers are drawing down inventories and starting to buy again."
TI shares fell 7 percent in 2025 but are up 13 percent so far this year, showing a rebound.
