Read MoreHide Full Article
A month has gone by since the last earnings report for Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) . Shares have added about 13.4% in that time frame, outperforming the S&P 500.

Before we dive into how investors and analysts have reacted as of late, let's take a quick look at its most recent earnings report in order to get a better handle on the important drivers.
Texas Instruments Beats on Q3 Earnings
Texas Instruments reported third-quarter 2022 earnings of $2.47 per share. The figure was within the management’s guided range of $2.23-$2.51. Further, the figure grew 19% year over year and 0.8% from the previous quarter’s level.
The bottom line includes a benefit of 2 cents, excluding which the figure stands at $2.45, beating the Zacks Consensus Estimate by 3.4%.

Year-over-year top-line growth was driven by well-performing Analog, Embedded Processing and Other segments.
Sequential growth in automotive, communication equipment and enterprise systems markets remained a positive.
