Despite solid beats on the top and bottom lines in Q2, Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN) shares are down 11% in after-hours trading Tuesday.
The company also released Q3 guidance ranges for revenue and EPS, and both include consensus figures. Revenue is projected at $3.45B-$4.8B ($4.55B consensus), while GAAP EPS is estimated at $1.36-$1.60 ($1.49 consensus). However, these figures don’t reflect changes from recently enacted U.S. tax legislation.
In Q2, GAAP EPS rose to $1.41 from $1.22 in the year-ago period, a 16% increase.
Texas Instruments ended the quarter with cash and cash equivalents of ~$3B, compared to ~$2.7B at the end of Q2 2024.
Commenting on the results, Seeking Alpha analyst Semiconductor Analyst said, “I believe it was a solid print. I was looking for continued industrial strength, and it’s there, both in the results and the guidance. The decline in inventory days also helps with operating cash flow leverage. I’d attribute the post-market move to overly high expectations.”
