New York, Jan 24, 2026, 18:07 EST — Market closed.
Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN.O) closed Friday down 0.9%, settling at $193.31. The stock fluctuated between $191.16 and $196.23 during the session, with roughly 6.7 million shares changing hands, according to market data.
With U.S. markets closed Saturday, all eyes turn to Texas Instruments next week. The Dallas-based chipmaker will host its fourth-quarter and full-year earnings call on Tuesday, Jan. 27, at 3:30 p.m. Central. CEO Haviv Ilan and CFO Rafael Lizardi are scheduled to review the results and field questions. (Texas Instruments)
The timing comes amid a tense run for risk assets. Investors are bracing for a Federal Reserve meeting alongside a flood of major tech earnings, following a week dominated by geopolitical tensions and tariff chatter. A PNC strategist described it as a “short but steep roller-coaster ride,” while Chris Galipeau of Franklin Templeton pointed out that “earnings are the driver.” (Reuters)
Friday’s close highlighted the market’s volatility. The Dow dropped 0.58%, the S&P 500 ended flat, and the Nasdaq gained 0.28%, despite Intel tumbling 17% on a bleak forecast. Janus Henderson’s Julian McManus described the market as entering a “show-me” phase for tech and chip stocks. (Reuters)
Texas Instruments wasn’t the only major chipmaker to lose ground heading into the weekend. NXP Semiconductors dipped 1.8%, Analog Devices was down 1.0%, and Qualcomm slid 3.7% during the same session, according to MarketWatch data. (MarketWatch)
Dividends made the agenda as well. Texas Instruments’ board approved a quarterly cash payout of $1.42 per share, set for Feb. 10 to investors on record as of Jan. 30. (Texas Instruments)
Macro watchers are marking their calendars for the Fed’s rate-setting meeting on Jan. 27-28, according to the central bank’s schedule. (Federal Reserve)
With Texas Instruments, the headlines won’t tell the full story. Traders are keyed in on the tone, especially around demand in industrial and automotive sectors — the key battlegrounds for analog chips, which handle power management and real-world signal processing, known to slow down before bouncing back sharply.
Still, the risk runs both ways. Any cautious tone, mention of clients holding excess inventory, or signs pricing is deteriorating could weigh heavily on the shares — particularly if the wider market is already bracing for a Fed shock.
Tuesday brings Texas Instruments’ earnings call, setting the stage before the Fed’s decision and press conference on Wednesday. Then, mark Jan. 30 for the company’s dividend record date. (Barchart)
