- The new revenue range is $3.50 to $3.66 Billion, with consensus at $3.56 Billion.
- The new EPS range is $0.50 to $0.54, with consensus at $0.50.
Shares of Texas Instruments (NYSE:TXN) closed up 0.6% at $32.67 today, but shares are up almost 4% at $33.94 in after-hours trading. The 52-week trading range is $28.24 to $39.63.
Even the Semiconductor HOLDRs (AMEX:SMH) rose 0.9% to $34.00 in after-hours trading.
