New York, January 14, 2026, 21:19 EST — Market closed.
- Texas Instruments closed up 2.6% at $193.45 on Wednesday
- Arete cut its price target and kept a neutral stance, MT Newswires reported
- Investors now look to TI’s Jan. 27 earnings for a read on industrial-chip demand
Texas Instruments (TXN.O) shares rose 2.6% on Wednesday to close at $193.45, bucking a broader market slide after two straight losing sessions.
The move lands with the analog chipmaker heading into a key checkpoint later this month. Texas Instruments said it will webcast its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 earnings conference call on Jan. 27, with CEO Haviv Ilan and CFO Rafael Lizardi scheduled to discuss results and take questions.
Analysts are still arguing about how fast demand returns. Arete cut its price target — the level an analyst thinks the stock could reach over the next year — to $192.80 from $203.80 and kept a neutral rating, MT Newswires reported; FactSet data cited in the report put the mean target price near $191.
Texas Instruments rose even as the S&P 500 fell 0.53% and the Dow slipped 0.09%. Nvidia dropped 1.44%, Broadcom slid 4.15% and Qualcomm fell 0.45%, while TXN volume ran above its 50-day average, according to MarketWatch.
Texas Instruments is watched as a bellwether for the slower corners of chips because its analog parts manage power and translate real-world signals in cars and factory gear. On the company’s last call, Ilan said industrial customers were in “a bit of a wait-and-see mode” as tariff details were still not settled. Reuters
That’s why Jan. 27 matters beyond a single ticker. The outlook on orders, factory utilization and capital spending — money for plants and equipment — can swing sentiment across the analog group, including Analog Devices and Microchip Technology.
But a bounce like Wednesday’s does not settle the bigger risk: that the industrial recovery stays choppy. If customers keep pushing out orders or squeeze pricing, the next guide could disappoint and the stock can give back ground fast.
For Thursday’s session, investors will look for follow-through buying and any fresh analyst notes ahead of the earnings print. The next hard catalyst is Texas Instruments’ results and conference call on Jan. 27.
