Read MoreHide Full Article
Following favorable quarterly results from a slew of banks last week, a few tech stocks are expected to stand out in this week’s earnings lineup, with TE Connectivity (TEL - Free Report) ) and Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) ) being of interest in particular.
Ahead of their reports on Wednesday, April 22, TE Connectivity and Texas Instruments stock are both sporting a Zacks Rank #2 (Buy), highlighted by expectations of strong EPS growth.
TE Connectivity is a global technology company that designs and manufactures connectivity and sensor solutions for a wide range of industries, while Texas Instruments looks intriguing as a renowned original equipment manufacturer and global semiconductor leader that specializes in analog and embedded processing chips.
Set to report results for its fiscal second quarter, TE Connectivity’s Q2 sales are expected to be up 13% to $4.7 billion from $4.14 billion a year ago. Even better, Q2 earnings are expected to spike 28% to $2.70 per share compared to EPS of $2.10 in the prior year quarter.
It’s also noteworthy that TE Connectivity has reached or exceeded the Zacks EPS Consensus for a remarkable 41 consecutive quarters, posting an average earnings surprise of 7.48% in its last four quarterly reports.

Texas Instruments’ quarterly EPS is expected to be up 7% to $1.37, versus $1.28 per share in Q1 2025.
While Texas Instruments slightly missed its most recent Q4 EPS estimates, the company has still posted an average earnings surprise of 6.49% over the last four quarters and had previously exceeded bottom-line expectations in nine straight quarterly reports.
