TXN Texas Instruments Inc
Texas Instruments Inc has a solid dividend profile with no major red flags in the snapshot data.
Why we rate it 7.4
- Yield of 1.75% is in the typical sustainable zone (2-4%)
- Payout ratio of 95% is stretched — much above 100% means the dividend exceeds earnings
- Current yield is below the 5-year average (2.72%), often a sign that price has appreciated faster than dividend growth
- Mega-cap scale (>$200B) — market dominance reduces dividend pressure
