Research Alert: Txn Beats Q1 And Guides Above Views; Fcf Story Playing Out

By

CFRA, an independent research provider, has providedwith the following research alert. Analysts at CFRA have summarized their opinion as follows:

TXN delivered a strong Q1 beat with revenue of $4.83B (+19% Y/Y, +9% Q/Q) vs. $4.53B expected and EPS of $1.68 (+31% Y/Y) vs. the $1.37 consensus, driven by robust industrial and data center performance. Analog segment revenue of $3.92B (+22% Y/Y) with operating profit up 36% showcases TXN's franchise strength and ability to capture share as end markets recover. The diversified analog portfolio and strategic embedded processing investments position the company well for sustained growth in IoT and edge computing applications. Q2 guidance of $5.00B-$5.40B revenue and $1.77-$2.05 EPS compares favorably to consensus of $4.9B and $1.57, respectively, reflecting management confidence in demand trajectory. The dramatic FCF improvement to $4.35B (+154% Y/Y) and 23.6% of revenue demonstrates operating leverage as 300mm capacity utilization normalizes, with declining capex and enhanced CHIPS Act benefits creating powerful tailwinds for future cash generation.
