The lack of debt is good, but earnings are going to take a huge hit in 2009. TXN's forward P/E is 24, which won't hold, regardless of its financial condition. This stock will retest its current 52-week low of $13.38 this year.

Texas Instruments will survive the recession, but their stock will significantly underperform the S&P in 2009.

I've had some personal experience with TI which has left me thoroughly unimpressed. They don't support their chips properly. They don't have good technical knowledge of their own chips.

Specifically, for their GSM chipset they rely upon companies like (major cell phone company) to develop software for them, that effectively uses their chips. This, in contrast to companies like Qualcomm, that know precisely how will their chips perform because they test them with full-blown cellular softwre, FIRST.

Other experiences with TI have led me to think that their knowledge of Wifi is poor at best.

Basically, I have had NOTHING TO INDICATE THIS IS IN ANY WAY A RESPONSIBLE CHIP DEVELOPER. And they have made my work life miserable.

TXN seems to be lagging behind many of the other techs however, long term, I think TXN will break out and beat the S

Inventories remain high and they are adding capacity, keeping inventories too high. Demand slowing in cell biz.
