Texas Instruments' elevated 85% market-implied probability of beating Q3 2026 consensus earnings stems primarily from management's July guidance for revenue of $5.65–6.15 billion and EPS of $2.23–2.57, which sits above prevailing analyst estimates near $2.40 and $5.9 billion. The company delivered strong sequential momentum in Q2, with revenue rising 23% year-over-year to $5.46 billion and EPS of $2.14 exceeding estimates, fueled by double-digit growth in industrial, automotive, and data-center segments where analog demand has strengthened. Gross margins expanded to 61%, and forward estimates have seen upward revisions amid broader semiconductor recovery. With the October 21 earnings release approaching, traders are pricing in continued outperformance relative to the midpoint of prior guidance.
