Sequans Communications reports second quarter revenue flat at $8.1 million
Investing.com - Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN), a $195 billion semiconductor giant trading near its 52-week high of $221.69, saw its stock trade lower despite Rosenblatt Securities reiterating its Buy rating and $245.00 price target following the company’s second-quarter earnings report. According to InvestingPro analysis, the stock appears overvalued at current levels.
The semiconductor manufacturer, which generates over $16 billion in annual revenue, delivered stronger-than-expected second-quarter results and provided a modest third-quarter guidance increase. Most end markets grew quarter-over-quarter, with automotive being the only exception, according to Rosenblatt’s analysis. InvestingPro data shows the company maintains robust financial health with a current ratio of 5.26, indicating strong liquidity.
Despite the earnings beat, investor reaction was negative in after-hours trading. Rosenblatt attributed this to elevated expectations heading into the earnings report and management’s shift from bullish to more balanced commentary about market conditions.
Texas Instruments described the second quarter as starting strong with robust China demand, followed by more normalized overall demand in May and June. Rosenblatt believes the accelerated demand early in the quarter stemmed from both pull-ins and inventory restocking, with pull-in demand declining throughout the quarter.
For the third quarter, Texas Instruments is taking a more cautious approach, guiding below seasonal trends, with four out of five end markets driving the cyclical recovery while automotive continues to underperform. Rosenblatt maintains its positive outlook, citing TI’s strong positioning to navigate tariff and geopolitical challenges.
In other recent news, Texas Instruments reported strong financial results for the second quarter of 2025, with revenue reaching $4.4 billion, a 16% increase compared to the previous year.

Additionally, the company reported June quarter revenue of $4.45 billion, aligning with consensus estimates, and projected September quarter revenue of $4.63 billion, slightly ahead of the $4.57 billion consensus. Despite these results, Mizuho (NYSE:MFG) lowered its price target for Texas Instruments to $200 from $205, maintaining a Neutral rating on the stock. In contrast, Citi reiterated its Buy rating and maintained a $260 price target, noting the company’s performance was bolstered by demand from China. These developments reflect differing analyst perspectives on Texas Instruments’ future prospects.
