Coming into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 11.3% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 12.9%, while the S&P 500 gained 13.44%.

In that report, analysts expect TXN to post earnings of $1.13 per share. This would mark a year-over-year decline of 6.61%. Meanwhile, our latest consensus estimate is calling for revenue of $3.48 billion, down 8.16% from the prior-year quarter.
For the full year, our Zacks Consensus Estimates are projecting earnings of $5.27 per share and revenue of $15.04 billion, which would represent changes of -5.72% and -4.71%, respectively, from the prior year.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for TXN should also be noted by investors. These revisions help to show the ever-changing nature of near-term business trends. As a result, we can interpret positive estimate revisions as a good sign for the company's business outlook.
Our research shows that these estimate changes are directly correlated with near-term stock prices. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
