Winston Score History

The full picture

Texas Instruments makes semiconductors — tiny chips that control electronics. Its two main product lines are analog chips, which manage things like power and temperature, and embedded processors, which act as small brains inside devices. These chips go into cars, factory machines, medical equipment, and consumer electronics, making industrial and automotive customers its largest markets.

Texas Instruments sells chips directly to manufacturers and earns revenue each time a customer buys hardware. It operates globally, with significant manufacturing in the US, and generates roughly $15–16 billion in annual revenue. Its competitive edge comes from owning its own factories, which gives it more control over costs and supply than many rivals who outsource production. The biggest growth driver is rising chip content in electric vehicles and industrial automation, but the main risk is that both markets have been working through excess inventory, which has pressured sales and could continue to weigh on results if demand recovery takes longer than expected.

Growth + cash flow

Texas Instruments Incorporated is a rare growth stock that's already generating positive cash flow while growing at 23%. The Winston Score doesn't fully credit this transition from "burner" to "earner."

The Winston Score above measures business quality today. Growth stocks often score lower because they invest in the future rather than maximising current profits. These metrics show what matters most for evaluating that future.
