Overweight
Reason
KeyBanc raised the firm's price target on Texas Instruments to $240 from $220 and keeps an Overweight rating on the shares. The firm notes the company posted in-line Q4 results and guided Q1 higher. Better than seasonal guidance was attributed to data center and continued strength in Industrials, which grew 18% year-over-year in Q4 and still has plenty of runway, as it is still 25% below prior peak. Texas Instruments indicated that bookings and turns increased steadily through the quarter and characterized the cyclical recovery as "slow."

Reason
Cantor Fitzgerald analyst Matthew Prisco raised the firm's price target on Texas Instruments to $225 from $190 and keeps a Neutral rating on the shares. Texas Instruments delivered a notably strong quarter with its first sequential Q1 growth guide since 2010, improving gross margin trends, and signs of recovery driven by data center strength and a broad-based industrial rebound, the analyst tells investors in a research note. Management commentary and updated depreciation and capex outlooks reinforce confidence in a gradual recovery and a path toward $9-$10 of free cash flow by 2027, Cantor says.
