BREAKING: Futures Fall On Weak Microsoft Guidance
Chipmaker Texas Instruments (TXN) late Tuesday beat Wall Street’s targets for the fourth quarter, but it guided below views for the current period. TXN stock wavered in extended trading.
The Dallas-based company earned $2.13 a share on sales of $4.67 billion in the December quarter. Analysts polled by FactSet predicted TI earnings of $1.98 a share on sales of $4.61 billion. On a year-over-year basis, TI earnings dropped 6% while sales slid 3%.
“Our results reflect weaker demand in all end markets with the exception of automotive,” Chief Executive Rich Templeton said in a news release.

Wall Street had predicted TI earnings of $1.86 a share on sales of $4.41 billion in the March quarter. In the year-earlier period, TI earned $2.35 a share on sales of $4.9 billion.
