World No.1 in analog chips
Texas Instruments
Texas Instruments is the world No.1 in analog chips, broadly supplying power and signal ICs across industrial, automotive and electronics. Unlike analog peers that lean on foundries, it runs its own 300mm fabs at scale to in-source long-term cost and supply (with some mature nodes outsourced to UMC), buying front-end tools from Applied Materials, Tokyo Electron and ASML. Its results are governed by the industrial and automotive inventory cycle.

TI's thesis is 'the inventory-cycle rebound of the analog No.1 that owns its cost via 300mm fabs.' As the world No.1 in analog, supplying tens of thousands of parts across industrial, automotive and electronics, its moat is having built out its own 300mm fabs to in-source long-term cost and supply, unlike foundry-reliant rivals — but that pre-emptive capex pressures margins in a downcycle. After weakness in 2025 (-4.5%), the +80% rebound in 2026 pre-prices a normalization of industrial/automotive inventory, and results are wholly tied to the downstream inventory cycle. What to watch is the recovery of industrial/automotive demand and the utilization and depreciation burden of the 300mm build-out.
