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 $273.43, which is considered oversold relative to its 30-day fair value range of $275.38 to $298.53. The stock's valuation (Forward PE: 27.2) is in line with its historical norms (30.0). Remarkably, the market is currently pricing in an annual earnings decline of 3.1% 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 uptrend. Immediate support is located at $264.74, while resistance sits at $289.62.

Market Sentiment: The stock scores a mixed 54/100 on our bottoming-setup gauge, with only partial signs of a stabilized entry point. Wall Street analysts see significant upside, with an average price target of $324.45 (+18.7%). Current signals suggest waiting for a better entry point before initiating new positions.
