Texas Instruments (NASDAQ:TXN) is one of the largest Analog and Embedded Semiconductor manufacturers globally. Texas Instruments designs, makes and sells semiconductors to electronics designers and manufacturers across the world. Analog and embedded content is found in just about every electronic device made, including automobiles. Texas Instruments has continued to benefit from investor recognition of the company’s execution, disciplined capital allocation (returning all excess cash to shareowners) and the potential that the market for analog semiconductors has become slightly less cyclical as the industry has matured and consolidated.
