Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ: TXN) stock price grew more than 1.8x from around $94 in 2018 end to over $170 currently, primarily due to favorable changes in its P/S multiple. This does not come as a surprise, as the company has also witnessed a rise in revenue over this period, and revenue per share has risen, helped by a slight decrease in the outstanding share count.

In our interactive dashboard, Why Texas Instruments Stock Moved: TXN Stock Has Gained 82% Since 2018, we break down the factors behind this move.

(A) TXN’s Total Revenue has grown 16% from $15.8 billion in 2018 to $18.3 billion on an LTM basis

  • TXN’s total revenue first dropped from $15.8 billion in FY ’18 to $14.5 billion in FY ’20, due to the semiconductor supply glut and the pandemic further hurting demand.
  • Revenues then jumped to $18.3 billion in the most recent FY ’21 earnings as demand for TI’s semiconductors has risen.
  • Analog semiconductor sales make up the bulk of TI’s revenues, with $14.1 billion of the company’s sales coming from this segment as of FY ’21, making up more than 75% of total revenue.
