Texas Instruments designs and makes semiconductors that it sells to electronics designers and manufacturers. Co.'s segments include Analog and Embedded Processing. Co.'s analog semiconductors change signals, such as sound, temperature, pressure or images, by conditioning them, amplifying them and often converting them to a stream of digital data that can be processed by other semiconductors. Co.'s embedded Processing products are designed to handle specific tasks and can be improved for various combinations of performance, power and cost, depending on the application. Co.'s Embedded Processing segment includes microcontrollers, digital signal processors and applications processors. We show 59 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our TXN shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute TXN market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing TXN market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing TXN's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of TXN versus a peer is one thing; comparing
TXN market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like TXN can fluctuate over the course of history.
