DZ Bank upgrades Texas Instruments to Hold with $300 price target, shares slip

DZ Bank raised its rating on Texas Instruments (TXN) from Sell to Hold and set a $300 price target, prompting the stock to fall 0.32% to $307.91. The chip maker reported third‑quarter revenue of $6.055 billion, up 28% year‑over‑year, with an operating margin of 47.5%. Management forecast fourth‑quarter revenue between $5.80 billion and $6.30 billion. Analysts noted the upgrade eases bearish pressure but highlighted the high valuation.

The $300 target is below the current share price, limiting upside potential for investors. The Q4 revenue guidance sets expectations for near‑flat growth, which could influence valuation multiples.
