Trading above historical range

How this is calculated: We use a Growth Decay Model: starting with analyst consensus growth (adjusted above) and gradually slowing it down to a long-term terminal rate (4%) by Year 5. This provides a more realistic valuation than assuming constant hyper-growth. We then apply a 25.0x Exit PE.

In-depth Analysis How we analyze

Valuation Analysis: TXN is currently trading at $272.10, which is considered slightly high relative to its 30-day fair value range of $256.96 to $269.85. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 26.9) is in line with its historical norms (29.5). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 3.0% over the next few years. This pessimistic expectation contrasts with the company's recent 51.8% earnings growth, suggesting potential undervaluation if the company simply maintains stability.

Technical Outlook: Technically, TXN is in a strong downtrend. The price is approaching resistance at $273.33. A breakout above this level would be a bullish signal, while rejection here could lead to consolidation.

Market Sentiment: TXN scores 65/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge — the chart has corrected and is stabilizing (RSI reset, momentum turning up), historically a favorable entry zone. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $324.71 (+19.6%). Combining these factors, the current setup offers a favorable risk/reward ratio for buyers.
