On July 28, Texas Instruments fell 3.36% in pre-market trading, trading at $273.4 per share with turnover of $1.85 million, extending the pullback that began following its Q2 earnings release on July 22.
Despite delivering a strong beat — Q2 revenue of $5.46 billion rose 23% year-over-year, exceeding the $5.24 billion consensus, while EPS of $2.14 surged 52% and topped the $1.92 estimate by over 11% — the stock has faced sustained selling pressure as investors locked in gains from a year-to-date rally exceeding 70%. Q3 revenue guidance also came in above analyst forecasts, and management cited broad-based demand strength across automotive, industrial, and data center end markets.
The decline is compounded by a broad semiconductor sector pullback, with Micron Technology down 6.8%, Intel down 5.06%, SK Hynix down 5.32%, Advanced Micro Devices down 4.51%, and NVIDIA down 0.89%. Multiple investment banks raised their price targets post-earnings, with UBS lifting to $380, JPMorgan to $340, and Rosenblatt to $350, yet elevated expectations and stretched valuations continue to weigh on near-term sentiment.
