$TXN Rallies on AI Chip Demand
$Texas Instruments(TXN)$
$Texas Instruments(TXN) +1.82%: Analog Giant Reclaims $266, Short Covering Fuels Breakout Toward $291 Resistance 🚀
Latest Close: $266.54 (+1.82%) on Aug 28, 2026. Still 20.2% below 52-week high of $334.03, but decisively above the Aug 26 support of $202.48.
Core Market Drivers: Semis rebounded broadly after a brutal mid-August selloff. TXN's Q2 revenue grew 23% YoY to $5.46B with EPS of $2.14 smashing estimates. Multiple analysts raised targets post-earnings — Arete upgraded to Buy with a $405 PT, while KeyBanc lifted to $390. AI datacenter and automotive analog content remain key tailwinds.
Technical Analysis: Volume at 5.60M shares (VR 1.10) confirms accumulation. MACD remains negative but DIF is curling sharply upward (-5.52 → -6.48), signaling a bullish convergence. RSI(6) surged from 23.8 to 47.3 — exiting oversold territory with strong momentum. KDJ K-line crossed above D-line, triggering a golden cross. Short volume ratio dropped to 11.29% from 18.63% three sessions ago — short covering in progress.
Key Price Levels:
-
Primary Support: $261.77 (yesterday close)
-
Immediate Pivot: $267.48 (today's high)
-
Strong Resistance: $291.24
Valuation Perspective: P/E TTM of 40.32x vs. forward P/E of 30.98x — below the historical average of 33.08x, suggesting earnings expansion is already priced attractively. P/S of 12.51 remains elevated but justified by 35.18% ROE and 2.11% dividend yield.
Analyst Targets: 32 analysts with an average target of $309.53 (range $184.59–$400.00). Consensus: 6 Strong Buy, 12 Buy, 18 Hold — clearly bullish-leaning with upside potential of ~16%.
Weekly Outlook: Expect rangebound consolidation between $261–$291. A breakout above $291.24 would target $309 (analyst mean) and then $334.03 (52-week high). Failure to hold $261 opens $250, then the Aug 26 pivot at $202.48. 📊
