Texas Instruments (TXN) Stock News Today: Goldman Sachs Downgrade, Sherman Fab Ramp, and Wall Street Forecasts (Dec. 16, 2025)
Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ: TXN) is back in the spotlight on December 16, 2025, as investors balance two forces moving in opposite directions: near-term pressure on the earnings story (highlighted by a high-profile Wall Street downgrade) and long-term confidence in the company’s U.S. manufacturing buildout, including a major Sherman, Texas production milestone expected this week. With TXN trading modestly lower intraday, today’s coverage centers on whether Texas Instruments’ aggressive capacity investments—once framed as a strategic advantage—could temporarily become a drag on margins, while the analog semiconductor cycle recovers more slowly than hoped.
