For most investors, how much a stock's price changes over time is important. This factor can impact your investment portfolio as well as help you compare investment results across sectors and industries.

Another thing that can drive investing is the fear of missing out, or FOMO. This particularly applies to tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks.

What if you'd invested in Texas Instruments (TXN - Free Report) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to TXN for all that time, but if you did, how much would your investment be worth today?

Texas Instruments' Business In-Depth

With that in mind, let's take a look at Texas Instruments' main business drivers.

Headquartered in Dallas, TX, Texas Instruments Incorporated is an original equipment manufacturer of analog, mixed-signal and digital signal processing (DSP) integrated circuits.

Texas Instruments has manufacturing and design facilities, including wafer fabrication and assembly/test operations in North America, Asia and Europe.

Management’s strategy has been to build assets that would be fully utilized through their lifetimes and outsource any excess demand in peak situations to outside foundries.

In 2025, Texas Instruments generated total revenues of $17.68 billion, up 13% from 2024. The company has two reporting financial segments, Analog and Embedded Processing. It reports the results of its remaining business activities in Other.

Analog segment revenues grew 15% to $14.01 billion and accounted for approximately 79% of total revenues in 2025. Analog products have been categorized into two categories, Power and Signal Chain. Power products manage and distribute electricity, while Signal Chain products sense, condition and convert real-world signals.

Revenues from the Embedded Processing segment rose 6% to $2.70 billion and contributed approximately 15% to 2025 total revenues. This segment includes microcontrollers, processors, wireless connectivity and radar products.

The Other business generated $979 million in revenues and accounted for approximately 6% of 2025 total sales. The segment includes smaller product lines, such as DLP products, calculators and certain application-specific integrated circuits. Revenues from this segment increased 3% in 2025.

The company's products are sold in industrial, personal electronics, automotive, data center and communications equipment markets. In 2025, industrial and automotive each represented 33% of revenue. Personal electronics accounted for 21%, data center 9% and communications equipment 3%. Calculators represented about 1% of revenue.

Texas Instruments has more than 80,000 products and over 100,000 customers. In 2025, more than 80% of revenue was generated through direct sales channels.

Bottom Line

While anyone can invest, building a lucrative investment portfolio takes research, patience, and a little bit of risk. If you had invested in Texas Instruments ten years ago, you're probably feeling pretty good about your investment today.

A $1000 investment made in November 2016 would be worth $4,435.36, or a 343.54% gain, as of November 12, 2026, according to our calculations. Investors should note that this return excludes dividends but includes price increases.

Compare this to the S&P 500's rally of 252.02% and gold's return of 211.84% over the same time frame.

Going forward, analysts are expecting more upside for TXN.

Texas Instruments is benefiting from a broad recovery in industrial and automotive demand and sustained data center expansion. Its analog and embedded portfolios serve diverse, long-lived applications. Internal manufacturing and growing capacity strengthen supply reliability while supporting margin recovery as utilization rises. Rising cash generation provides greater room for dividends and long-term investment. The planned Silicon Labs acquisition could extend its wireless connectivity reach. Management's outlook points to continued demand across its core markets. Semiconductor cyclicality, pricing competition, trade exposure and debt remain risks. Equipment delivery constraints could also slow capacity additions. Nonetheless, improving factory economics and a wider range of growth opportunities support an Outperform view.

The stock is up 10.39% over the past four weeks, and no earnings estimate has gone lower in the past two months, compared to 11 higher, for fiscal 2026. The consensus estimate has moved up as well.
