COMMENT

They deliver poor conference calls stressing things like too much inventory and not enough demand gives analysts little to work with. They trash their own company. Shares sell after these calls only to rebound.

DON'T BUY

He's frustrated with it, up only 2% year to date, and he's slightly under water it. This ranks 28th of his 31 tech holdings. The company moves slowly and far less nimble than its peers who are doing much better. It was downgraded today.

DON'T BUY

Not doing well. Cars are their strong area, but cars will not be good, and comms are bad. A terrible last quarter. You can hold onto this.

PAST TOP PICK
(A Top Pick May 01/23, Up 3%)

Liked it until summer of 2023. Shine came off the EV ecosystem. January reporting beat on bottom, bit shy on top. Lowered guidance, and this really hurt. Not in the AI space.

HOLD

Struggled lately from technical perspective. Under accumulation at this point. Appears to have resistance. Would wait before buying. 

BUY

Good management + activist Elliott Management.

BUY

Activist Elliott Partners can improve things here. He's bullish. Pays a 2.5% dividend yield.

DON'T BUY

He sold it last May and doesn't regret it. It just reported and shares are rising. But TXN's AI strategy isn't as clear as its peers.

COMMENT

Fell 7.5% today on earnings. Has long loved this. They make good car and industrial chips, but those are down in the dumps.  They beat top and bottom, but their end markets are weak. They should go private.

HOLD

Extremely well run. Highly integrated, with internal manufacturing for analog. Focuses on free cashflow. Will likely lose share in China over time, which is looking to make things domestically.
