Texas Instruments has an excellent current ratio of 4.12 and slight revenue growth and increasing reinvestment in the business. Additionally, the company's financial statements display wider gross margins than its peer group and healthy leverage levels. However, the firm has positive cash flows. Finally, we note that Texas Instruments has flat EPS growth.

Texas Instruments's Valuation Is in Line With Its Sector Averages:

Texas Instruments has a trailing twelve month P/E ratio of 32.0, compared to an average of 30.44 for the Technology sector. Based on its EPS guidance of $5.88, the company has a forward P/E ratio of 29.9. The 1.7% compound average growth rate of Texas Instruments's historical and projected earnings per share yields a PEG ratio of 19.31. This suggests that these shares are overvalued. Furthermore, Texas Instruments is likely overvalued compared to the book value of its equity, since its P/B ratio of 8.93 is higher than the sector average of 4.19. The company's shares are currently trading 252.0% below their Graham number. Ultimately, Texas Instruments's strong cash flows, decent earnings multiple, and healthy debt levels factor towards it being fairly valued, its elevated P/B ratio notwithstanding.
