Joshua Buchalter has given his Buy rating due to a combination of factors that suggest long-term potential for Texas Instruments despite current challenges. He acknowledges that the company is facing headwinds related to seasonality, depreciation, and underutilization, which are impacting gross margins. However, he emphasizes that free cash flow remains a key strength and cornerstone of his positive outlook, even though it may take time for this to fully materialize.
Despite short-term volatility and a recent decline in margins, Buchalter notes that demand is gradually improving, particularly in the automotive sector, and inventory levels have stabilized. He remains optimistic about the company’s future free cash flow expansion as the current investment cycle concludes, projecting significant growth by 2027. This long-term perspective, coupled with the expectation of a more flexible capital expenditure environment, underpins his Buy rating for the stock.
Buchalter covers the Technology sector, focusing on stocks such as Marvell, Advanced Micro Devices, and Broadcom. According to TipRanks, Buchalter has an average return of 15.0% and a 58.67% success rate on recommended stocks.
In another report released yesterday, Robert W. Baird also reiterated a Buy rating on the stock with a $195.00 price target.
