Semiconductor Industry Association has been working up some numbers lately and it has posted some of its results regarding employment. The results were not shocking but pleasing, especially for the people of Texas and California. Semiconductor Industry Association stated that California and Texas have great potential of growing remarkably in the semiconductor industry. They reached this conclusion on the basis of employment opportunities. California is the place which employs the most people in the semiconductor industry and Texas is not far behind in the line since it stands at the second place currently.
Recently, the demand for chips that convert analog signals to digital ones has increased mainly because of the wide use of cellular networks. Texas Instruments is considered one of the largest producers of analog semiconductors and it is benefiting from the increased demand of cellular networks. Due to such rise in demands, it is predicted that Texas Instruments will perform better than its performance in the first quarter.
Analysts have predicted that Texas Instruments will observe earnings per share of around 50 cents and total revenue of $3 billion. These estimates can be understated since the increased demand for cellular networks and the chips have not been accounted for. On the other hand, some analysts have stated that it is possible that the company might meet these predictions and give an even better performance. It has been said that Texas Instruments will be able to get earnings per share of more than 60 cents while the revenue should be around $3.5 billion. If these figures are really met, then it would prove that Texas Instruments has taken full advantage of being in a booming market.
