A plain-English look at Texas Instruments' business and financials, from its analog chip dominance to its FY2025 revenue and profit numbers.
Almost everything with a power switch or a speaker relies on a chip that turns real-world signals — sound, temperature, voltage — into something a machine can use. Texas Instruments makes more of those chips than anyone else on earth, and it has been doing it from Dallas since 1930.
From Calculators to Chips
Most people know Texas Instruments for the calculators that got them through algebra class, but that business is now a small slice of the company. Over 95% of its revenue comes from semiconductors, with calculators making up the remainder.
Analog Leadership
The company holds the top spot globally in analog chips, the components that process everyday physical signals like sound and power. It also carries a leading market share in processors and microcontrollers, the small computing brains embedded in a huge range of electronics.
Sizing Up the Business
Texas Instruments generated $17.7 billion in revenue in FY2025. That is a substantial industrial base, and it reflects growth of 22% since FY2020 — steady expansion rather than a sudden spike.

What Profitability Looks Like
The company kept $5.0 billion of that revenue as net income, a net margin of 28.3%. Its gross margin — the share of sales left after the direct cost of making chips — stands at 57.0%, a figure that speaks to the specialized, high-value nature of analog semiconductor manufacturing.
The Balance Sheet Picture
Texas Instruments reports total assets of $34.6 billion, the accumulated value of its factories, equipment, cash, and other holdings built up over nearly a century in business.
Market Value Today
On the stock market, the company carries a market capitalization of $259.4 billion, with shares recently trading at $293.08 on a 15-minute delayed quote. That valuation is well above the company's asset base, reflecting how investors price in its earnings power and industry position rather than just its physical holdings.
Reading the Valuation Signals
Texas Instruments trades at a price-to-earnings ratio of 53.8, meaning its stock price is a large multiple of its per-share profit. Shares are currently sitting 12% below their 52-week high, a gap worth noting simply as a data point about recent price movement rather than a signal of direction.
A Dividend Payer
The company also returns cash to shareholders through a dividend, currently yielding about 1.94% annually. That places it among established, profitable companies that share a portion of earnings with investors on a regular basis.
People and Public Listing
Texas Instruments employs approximately 33,000 people and has traded publicly on the Nasdaq under the ticker TXN since its October 1953 initial public offering — one of the longer continuous public listings in American industry.
Putting the Numbers Together
Taken as a whole, the picture is of a large, consistently profitable semiconductor manufacturer with double-digit revenue growth over five years, healthy margins, and a market valuation that places it firmly among the largest companies in its sector.
