This week's news centers on a dividend increase, with Texas Instruments raising its quarterly cash dividend 7% from $1.42 to $1.52 per share, or $6.08 annualized, marking the 23rd consecutive year of increases. Coverage frames this as a signal of confidence in cash generation, alongside continued attention to the company's Q2 results, where data center sales doubled year-over-year and industrial grew 30%. Separate commentary debates valuation, with one view citing the stock as 40% undervalued on long-term capacity expansion, while another rating assigns a $332 price target implying 26% upside; comparisons to Advanced Micro Devices' data center partnerships also appear.
