Texas Instruments:

Beat earnings estimates. The company posted earnings of $0.89 per share (excluding $0.08 from non-recurring items), topping the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $0.83 per share.

Beat revenue estimates. The company saw revenue figures of $3.4 billion, beating our consensus estimate of $3.3 billion.

Texas Instruments reported revenues of $3.4 billion in the first quarter of 2017, up 13.1% year-over-year. The increase was due in part to greater demand in its automotive and industrial sectors. The company posted net income of $997 million.

Revenue increased for both TI’s Connected Microcontrollers and Processors lines. Operating profit for the embedded processing line rose due in part to higher revenue and associated gross profit.

The chipmaker set its second-quarter revenue outlook in the range of $3.40 billion to $3.70 billion, and it expects earnings per share to fall between $0.89 and $1.01.

“Demand for our products continued to be strong in the automotive market and continued to strengthen in the industrial market,” Texas Instruments chairman, president, and CEO Rich Templeton said in a statement.

"In our core businesses, Analog revenue grew 20 percent and Embedded Processing revenue grew 10 percent from the same quarter a year ago. Operating margin increased in both businesses.”
