NEW YORK, Jan 25, 2026, 16:40 EST — Market closed
- Shares of Texas Instruments ended Friday 0.9% lower, closing at $193.31.
- Chipmaker is set to release earnings Tuesday after the market closes, with investors watching closely for forward guidance.
- Wednesday’s Fed rate decision may steer risk appetite in tech.
Shares of Texas Instruments (TXN.O) slipped 0.9% on Friday, ending at $193.31. This week, the analog chipmaker’s earnings and guidance will put investor optimism under the microscope.
Texas Instruments Incorporated is set to release its fourth-quarter and full-year 2025 results after the market closes on Jan. 27. The company’s previous guidance projected earnings per share (EPS) between $1.13 and $1.39, with revenue expected to fall in the range of $4.22 billion to $4.58 billion, according to Zacks Investment Research.
Timing is crucial. This week features the Federal Reserve’s rate decision on Wednesday, alongside a slew of earnings reports from major U.S. tech giants. That combo has the potential to shake up valuations in a single session.
U.S. stocks closed out the week unevenly, dragged down by Intel’s sharp drop following a disappointing forecast that weighed on risk appetite. “We’re feeling pretty good, but mindful we might have some significant twists and turns throughout the rest of the year,” said Jason Blackwell, chief investment strategist at Focus Partners Wealth.

In the semiconductor sector, Texas Instruments followed the lead of other major chipmakers on Friday. Qualcomm dropped 1.25%, while Analog Devices declined 0.95% during the session, according to MarketWatch data.
Intel’s warning highlighted just how fast management’s forecasts can slam a stock. “We expect our available supply to be at its lowest level in Q1 before improving in Q2 and beyond,” said Intel CFO David Zinsner. Investopedia
Texas Instruments will hold its earnings webcast at 3:30 p.m. Central on Jan. 27. CEO Haviv Ilan, CFO Rafael Lizardi, and investor relations chief Mike Beckman are all set to present.
The stock oscillated in the mid-$190s ahead of the earnings report. On Friday, TXN fluctuated between $191.13 and $196.41, with roughly 6.7 million shares traded, per Yahoo Finance historical data.
But the setup cuts both ways. Chip stocks have slammed companies missing targets or signaling supply issues. Intel’s outlook highlighted how delivery snags can derail forecasts, even if demand at the consumer end remains strong.
Texas Instruments’ earnings drop into a packed week loaded with major tech players, pushing traders to look beyond a single report for sector-wide signals.
Next on deck: Texas Instruments reports earnings and guidance after the market closes Tuesday, Jan. 27. Investors will then shift their focus sharply to the Fed’s rate decision set for the following day.
