Read MoreHide Full Article

Coming into today, shares of the chipmaker had gained 7.3% in the past month. In that same time, the Computer and Technology sector gained 2.36%, while the S&P 500 gained 3.75%.
Texas Instruments will be looking to display strength as it nears its next earnings release. In that report, analysts expect Texas Instruments to post earnings of $1.99 per share. This would mark year-over-year growth of 6.42%. Meanwhile, the Zacks Consensus Estimate for revenue is projecting net sales of $4.71 billion, up 9.93% from the year-ago period.
TXN's full-year Zacks Consensus Estimates are calling for earnings of $9.09 per share and revenue of $19.91 billion. These results would represent year-over-year changes of +10.05% and +8.51%, respectively.
Any recent changes to analyst estimates for Texas Instruments should also be noted by investors. These recent revisions tend to reflect the evolving nature of short-term business trends. As such, positive estimate revisions reflect analyst optimism about the company's business and profitability.
Research indicates that these estimate revisions are directly correlated with near-term share price momentum. We developed the Zacks Rank to capitalize on this phenomenon. Our system takes these estimate changes into account and delivers a clear, actionable rating model.
The Zacks Rank system, which ranges from #1 (Strong Buy) to #5 (Strong Sell), has an impressive outside-audited track record of outperformance, with #1 stocks generating an average annual return of +25% since 1988. The Zacks Consensus EPS estimate remained stagnant within the past month. Texas Instruments is holding a Zacks Rank of #3 (Hold) right now.
Valuation is also important, so investors should note that Texas Instruments has a Forward P/E ratio of 20.18 right now. Its industry sports an average Forward P/E of 14.78, so we one might conclude that Texas Instruments is trading at a premium comparatively.
It is also worth noting that TXN currently has a PEG ratio of 2.16. This metric is used similarly to the famous P/E ratio, but the PEG ratio also takes into account the stock's expected earnings growth rate.
