TEMPLETON RICHARD K

TXN Chairman Templeton sells 101,557 shares for $19.8M across two days (Feb 27–28); holdings drop 19.9% to 409,089 shares

Richard K. Templeton, Chairman of Texas Instruments, conducted 11 separate sales totaling 101.6K shares for $19.8M over Feb 27–28, 2025, with execution prices ranging from $191.61 to $197.62. This represents a material reduction in his position (19.9% decline from 510.6K to 409.1K shares), occurring at prices substantially above the current market price of $194.39 and near the 52-week high of $220.29. The multi-day, multi-tranche execution pattern and magnitude (nearly $20M in proceeds) suggests a deliberate divestiture rather than routine activity. His cross-ticker track record shows a 0.00% well-timed rate on prior sells (with positive 90-day returns), indicating that past sales preceded stock gains rather than declines; no measurable outcomes exist yet for his five prior same-ticker trades at TXN. Investors should note the scale and timing of this sale in the context of TXN's -10.7% annual revenue decline and elevated P/E of 54.45.

TXN Chairman sells 194,000 shares (32.2% of holdings) for $38.6M at $199.20 avg blended price on Feb 25-26.

Chairman Richard K Templeton executed 8 separate sales totaling 194,000 shares for $38,645,456.99 across February 25-26, 2025, reducing his holdings from 603.1K to 409.1K shares (a 32.2% reduction). The sales occurred at a blended average price of $199.20, trading near the 52-week high of $220.29 and 3.9% above the current price of $191.30. Across his cross-ticker track record of 20 prior sells, the insider's average 90-day return was +10.3% with a 0.00% well-timed rate—meaning prior sales were followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. The company's trailing fundamentals show revenue contraction (annual growth at -10.7%), a high P/E of 53.59, and a market cap of $174.1B; the sale's timing relative to recent price momentum (30-day +5.9%, 90-day -4.8%) and elevated valuation warrants investor monitoring.

TXN Chairman Templeton sells 194,000 shares across 9 transactions for $39,323,822.69

Richard K Templeton, TXN's Chairman, executed 9 separate sales totaling 194,000 shares for $39,323,822.69 on February 21 and 24, 2025, reducing his holdings by 32.2% to 409,089 shares remaining. The sales occurred at prices ranging from $201.06 to $204.86 per share (blended average $202.70), near the stock's current price of $199.98 and well within the 52-week range of $159.68–$220.29. His cross-ticker track record shows 20 prior sells with 0.00% well-timed rate at the 90-day mark, indicating his prior open-market sales have consistently been followed by stock appreciation rather than declines. At this same ticker, his one prior measurable sale (May 2024) returned +8.2% over 90 days, also poorly timed. The company's recent fundamentals show revenue declined 10.7% year-over-year, latest quarterly revenue of $4.2B, and a P/E of 56.02, which combined with the size and timing of this divestiture merit close observation.
