Texas Instruments’ recent wave of institutional and insider selling—despite solid earnings—reveals a structural mismatch between its analog-centric portfolio and the AI-driven semiconductor shift. While TI benefits from power management ICs in AI infrastructure, it lacks entry points into high-margin training/inference ASICs, ceding ground to NVIDIA, AMD, and Taiwan, China-based players. Tightening U.S. export controls further inflate supply chain costs and delay time-to-market.
