TECHi's Take
It was a mixed bag for Texas Instruments after the bell on Tuesday, beating analyst estimates for the fourth quarter but also announcing approximately 1,100 layoffs on the way too. The semiconductor maker reported a net income of $511 million, or 46 cents per share (statement). Non-GAAP earnings were 46 per share on a revenue of $3.028 billion. Wall Street was looking for earnings of 46 cents per share on a revenue of $2.99 billion. For 2013 overall, TI posted revenue of $12.2 billion, down five percent annually, with earnings of $1.91 cents per share, up 26 percent annually.
