Let’s take a closer look at what to expect.
TXN Expectations Remain Stable
EPS and sales expectations for TXN’s release have largely remained stable, with EPS forecasted to decline 12% alongside a 6.7% move higher in sales. The profitability crunch here is quite notable, continuing an established trend, as shown below.

The valuation picture is a bit stretched, with the current 25.6X forward 12-month earnings multiple reflecting a 34% premium relative to the S&P 500 and above the 24.6X five-year median.
The current PEG ratio works out to 2.2X, with the stock carrying a Value Style Score of ‘D’.

The company’s cash-generating abilities have also allowed it to consistently pay its shareholders higher dividend payouts, with TXN sporting a 9% five-year annualized dividend growth rate. Its cash flows will be a key item to watch in the report, which saw a decline throughout its latest period.

EPS and sales expectations have moved lower for the quarter to be reported over recent months, with INTC expected to see a 94% pullback in EPS on 3% lower sales. As shown in the quarterly chart below, the company’s top line has struggled to show meaningful improvement over recent periods.

The stock is in desperate need of a new narrative overall, with a recent CEO change perhaps sparking some meaningful changes. Guidance and commentary will be key for the post-earnings reaction, though it’s beneficial to note that shares have already suffered a great deal.
Bottom Line
We continue to wade through the 2025 Q1 earnings cycle, with this week’s reporting docket notably busy. Several semiconductor stocks, namely Intel (INTC - Free Report) and Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) , are on the reporting docket, with guidance to be the critical factor dictating the post-earnings moves.
