Why is Texas Instruments stock slipping today?

Texas Instruments (TXN) stock fell 0.5% after-hours despite strong Q3 results, with EPS of $2.62 and revenue of $6.06B, both exceeding estimates. Management guided Q4 revenue to $5.8B-$6.3B, above consensus. Wells Fargo lowered its price target to $300. The decline may reflect profit-taking after a pre-earnings rally.
