Why the gap? Mainly the discount rate: the price is consistent with a cost of capital of about 8.5%; our CAPM-based WACC is 10.9%. Other readings of the price: growth 29.7% · margin 86.2% · WACC 8.5%.

Texas Instruments's revenue grew 16.7% over the last twelve months and −4.1% a year over three years. Today's price of $270.61 implies 29.7% revenue growth in year 1, fading to 4.8% by year 10, at an operating margin of 37.2%.

Our base case continues the trend (6.3%, fading), moves the operating margin from 37.5% to 37.2% by year 5 and reinvests $1.10 of capital for each additional dollar of revenue. Discounted at 10.9%, that gives a base-case model value of $113.79 per share (bear $75.30, bull $166.84); the price is 138% above the base case.

How we got this number

1Historical base from the filingsReported fact

All figures come from the XBRL data in the company's SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q), in US dollars. "TTM" = trailing twelve months. EBITA = operating income before amortisation of acquired intangibles and before expensed acquired R&D – both consequences of past acquisitions, which the model does not extrapolate.

Operating invested capital = equity + financial debt incl. leases − cash − goodwill − acquired intangibles − equity-method stakes: the capital that organic growth actually ties up. ROIC = EBITA × (1 − tax rate) / operating capital (TTM column: incl. lease interest, latest balance sheet). TTM revenue = FY ending 2025-12-31 ($17.7B) + year-to-date to 2026-06-30 ($10.3B) − prior-year period ($8.52B).

2Cost of equity (CAPM)Market dataAssumption

kE = rf + β × ERP = 4.79% + 1.57 × 4.14% = 11.28%
  • rf 4.79% – 10-year US Treasury yield on Sep 1, 2026, the date of the equity risk premium estimate (the two must match; today: 5.18% on Sep 24, 2026) (U.S. Treasury).
  • ERP 4.14% – implied equity risk premium of the S&P 500 by Aswath Damodaran as of Sep 1, 2026 (NYU Stern). It is backed out of current index prices and expected cash flows, not historical averages.
  • β 1.57 – bottom-up beta: the "Semiconductor" industry (66 US firms, Damodaran, January 2026) has a cash-corrected unlevered beta of 1.50. Relevered with Texas Instruments's leverage (debt incl. leases / market value = 5.9%):
    β = βU × (1 + (1 − t) × D/E) = 1.50 × (1 + 0.75 × 0.059) = 1.57
  • In the mature state (from year 10) we set β = 1: kE = 4.79% + 4.14% = 8.93%, the market's expected return. In years 6–10 the cost of capital moves there linearly.

3Cost of debtReported factAssumption

Interest coverage = EBIT / interest expense (TTM) = $7.25B / $564M = 12.9x. In Damodaran's table for large non-financial firms (January 2026) this maps to a synthetic rating of Aaa/AAA with a 0.40% default spread.

kD = (rf + spread) × (1 − t) = (4.79% + 0.40%) × (1 − 25%) = 3.89%

Tax rate 25%: 21% federal plus about 4% state taxes (marginal rate).

4Weighted average cost of capital (WACC)Market dataModel output

WACC = E/(D+E) × kE + D/(D+E) × kD = 94.4% × 11.28% + 5.6% × 3.89% = 10.86%

E = market value $249B (Sep 24, 2026); D = financial debt incl. lease liabilities $14.8B (book value as a proxy). This WACC applies to years 1–5; by year 10 it moves to 8.93%, the cost of capital of an average mature company (rf + ERP) – the rate at which Damodaran's implied premium discounts the market beyond year 5.

5Forecast and discounted cash flowsAssumptionModel output
