TXN earnings

Texas Instruments reported Q2 FY2026. EPS came in at $2.14 against a $1.91 consensus, beat by 12.0%. Revenue was $5.5B versus $5.3B expected, beat by 3.9%. Gross margin was 61.4%, up 340 bps from last quarter.

Texas Instruments reported a strong Q1 FY2026, with revenue and EPS both significantly beating street estimates. Revenue of $4.83 billion and EPS of $1.68 represent a 6.6% and 23.5% surprise, respectively, driven by strong growth in the industrial and data center segments.

Texas Instruments missed the Street by a narrow -0.3% on revenue and -1.6% on EPS, but the actionable point is that the market was braced for a cyclical analog recovery and got a capacity-cost debate instead. The variant view is that investors are underpricing the cash-flow inflection from lower 2026 capital spending while over-penalizing the 55.9% gross margin trough that came with a -6.7% sequential revenue decline.

Texas Instruments cleared the revenue bar, but the variant read is that demand recovery is arriving before the earnings model is repaired. The print argues for better cyclicality in analog and communications, yet the Street may be mispricing the depreciation and restructuring drag that kept EPS below estimate despite a revenue beat.
