Factors to Consider

Texas Instruments’ third-quarter performance is likely to have benefited from its broad product portfolio and expanding manufacturing capabilities.

Moreover, the company’s competitive advantages in manufacturing and technology are expected to have been positives.

Further, strong momentum in the automotive market is expected to benefit the to-be-reported quarter's performance.

Texas Instruments’ Embedded Processing business, owing to the refocusing of the MCU businesses, is expected to have positively impacted the upcoming quarterly results.

The Zacks Consensus Estimate for third-quarter 2023 Embedded Processing segment’s revenues is pegged at $887 million, implying year-over-year growth of 8%.

However, widespread weakness in communications equipment and enterprise systems is likely to have been a major headwind.

The imposition of new export regulations is expected to reflect negatively in the upcoming quarterly results.

Further, weakening demand environment, primarily due to inventory reductions by customers, is expected to have impacted the performance of the Analog segment during the quarter to be reported.

The consensus estimate for third-quarter 2023 Analog revenues is pegged at $3.3 billion, implying a decline of 17.3% from the year-ago reported figure.
