The “Chart of the Day” is Texas Instruments (TXN), which showed up on Wednesday’s list of stocks that had a new “Buy” signal from the Barchart “TrendSpotter” trading system. TI on Wednesday rallied by 3.26% and posted a high of $36.55, thus matching the 3-1/2 year high originally posted on Feb 18. A decisive rally above that high would be a particularly bullish technical development. Wednesday’s rally was due to JP Morgan’s upgrade of Texas Instruments to Overweight from Neutral and the substantial hike in its price target to $44 from $27 based on JP Morgan’s opinion that the analog chip inventory correction is almost over and that TI should benefit from a second-half inventory replenishment. Texas Instruments, with a market cap of $41 billion, is a global semiconductor company and one of the world’s leading designers and suppliers of digital signal processors and analog integrated circuits.
