Texas Instruments Inc., the biggest maker of analog semiconductors, gave a better-than-anticipated forecast for the current period after demand for industrial and automotive components improved. Revenue will be $4.

Analysts expect Texas Instruments to report an earnings per share (EPS) of $1.07. Texas Instruments bulls will hope to hear the company announce they've not only beaten that estimate, but also to provide positive guidance, or forecasted growth, for the next quarter.
