Texas Instruments's (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NYSE">TXN</a>) short percent of float has fallen 14.23% since its last report. The company recently reported that it has 18.69 million shares sold short, which is 2.05% of all regular shares that are available for trading. Based on its trading volume, it would take traders 2.83 days to cover their short positions on average.
<h3>Why Short Interest Matters</h3>
Short interest is the number of shares that have been sold short but have not yet been covered or closed out. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-short-a-stock/">Short selling</a> is when a trader sells shares of a company they do not own, with the hope that the price will fall. Traders make money from short selling if the price of the stock falls and they lose if it rises.
Short interest is important to track because it can act as an indicator of market sentiment towards a particular stock. An increase in short interest can signal that investors have become more bearish, while a decrease in short interest can signal they have become more bullish.

<h3>Texas Instruments Short Interest Graph (3 Months)</h3>
<img src="https://www.benzinga.com/files/images/story/2024/1734719422_0.png" alt="short_fig" />
As you can see from the chart above the percentage of shares that are sold short for Texas Instruments has declined since its last report. This does not mean that the stock is going to rise in the near-term but traders should be aware that less shares are being shorted.
<h3>Comparing Texas Instruments's Short Interest Against Its Peers</h3>
Peer comparison is a popular technique amongst analysts and investors for gauging how well a company is performing. A company's peer is another company that has similar characteristics to it, such as industry, size, age, and financial structure. You can find a company's peer group by reading its 10-K, proxy filing, or by doing your own similarity analysis.
According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/">Benzinga Pro</a>, Texas Instruments's peer group average for short interest as a percentage of float is 5.05%, which means the company has less short interest than most of its peers.
Did you know that increasing short interest can actually be bullish for a stock? <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-to-make-money-on-a-short-squeeze/">This post by Benzinga Money explains how you can profit from it.</a>

LeddarTech Holdings Inc.&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/LDTC#NASDAQ">LDTC</a>) shares are rocketing on Monday after the company announced a collaboration with Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>).
The partnership includes a software license agreement, where TI will make advanced royalty payments to support the joint commercialization of an integrated platform solution for advanced driver assistance systems <a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/pressreleases/24/12/g42386915/leddartech-announces-collaboration-with-texas-instruments-for-advanced-driver-assistance-systems-a" rel="noreferrer noopener">(ADAS) and autonomous driving (AD) markets.</a>
Under the license arrangement, Texas Instruments has agreed to make advanced royalty payments to catalyze joint commercialization.
The collaboration will allow TI to offer a bundled solution featuring LeddarTech&#8217;s LeddarVision AI-based sensor fusion and perception software, pre-integrated and validated on TI&#8217;s TDA scalable portfolio of Arm-based processors.
After nearly two years of collaboration, the integrated solution provides an open, high-performance, and cost-efficient platform for ADAS and autonomous driving systems, catering to automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers.
LeddarTech and TI have developed a roadmap of ADAS and AD features, with LeddarVision already running on TI&#8217;s TDA4 processors.
The integrated solution has received positive feedback from automotive OEMs and Tier 1 suppliers regarding its specifications and performance.
Frantz Saintellemy, President and CEO of LeddarTech, said, &#8220;This agreement with Texas Instruments and their commitment to making advanced royalty payments is a major market validation of LeddarVision and the potential to achieve significant near-term automotive ADAS market success.&#8221;
In a separate release, LeddarTech secured a deferral of interest payments, contingent on receiving at least $35 million in equity investments or the first TI royalty installment.
The minimum cash balance covenant is suspended until December 13, 2024, then set at C$1 million until January 31, 2025, rising to C$5 million thereafter.
The bridge loan maturity is extended to December 13, 2024, with an automatic extension to January 31, 2025, upon receiving the first royalty installment.
Price Action: LDDC shares are up 290.1% at $1.21 at the last check Monday.

Texas Instruments also has a leading market share position in processors and microcontrollers used in a wide variety of electronics applications.
<h3>Texas Instruments: Financial Performance Dissected</h3>
Negative Revenue Trend: Examining Texas Instruments's financials over 3 months reveals challenges. As of 30 September, 2024, the company experienced a decline of approximately -8.41% in revenue growth, reflecting a decrease in top-line earnings. As compared to its peers, the revenue growth lags behind its industry peers. The company achieved a growth rate lower than the average among peers in Information Technology sector.
Evaluating Earnings Performance:

Gross Margin: The company excels with a remarkable gross margin of 59.6%, indicating superior cost efficiency and profitability compared to its industry peers.
</li>
<li>
Earnings per Share (EPS): Texas Instruments's EPS is below the industry average, signaling challenges in bottom-line performance with a current EPS of 1.48.
</li>
</ul>
Debt Management: Texas Instruments's debt-to-equity ratio surpasses industry norms, standing at 0.84. This suggests the company carries a substantial amount of debt, posing potential financial challenges.
Navigating Market Valuation:
<ul>
<li>
Price to Earnings (P/E) Ratio: The P/E ratio of 38.24 is lower than the industry average, implying a discounted valuation for Texas Instruments's stock.
</li>
<li>
Price to Sales (P/S) Ratio: With a relatively high Price to Sales ratio of 12.02 as compared to the industry average, the stock might be considered overvalued based on sales performance.
</li>
<li>
EV/EBITDA Analysis (Enterprise Value to its Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation &amp; Amortization): The company's EV/EBITDA ratio of 25.46 trails industry averages, indicating a potential disparity in market valuation that could be advantageous for investors.
</li>
</ul>
Market Capitalization Analysis: Below industry benchmarks, the company's market capitalization reflects a smaller scale relative to peers. This could be attributed to factors such as growth expectations or operational capacity.

<h3>Exploring the Significance of Insider Trading</h3>
While insider transactions should not be the sole basis for making investment decisions, they can play a significant role in an investor's decision-making process.
From a legal standpoint, the term "insider" pertains to any officer, director, or beneficial owner holding more than ten percent of a company's equity securities as outlined in Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This encompasses executives in the c-suite and significant hedge funds. These insiders are mandated to inform the public of their transactions through a Form 4 filing, to be submitted within two business days of the transaction.
A company insider's new purchase is a indicator of their positive anticipation for a rise in the stock.
While insider sells may not necessarily reflect a bearish view and can be motivated by various factors.
<h3>Transaction Codes To Focus On</h3>
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/investing-tools">Investors</a> prefer focusing on transactions that take place in the open market, indicated in Table I of the Form 4 filing. A P in Box 3 indicates a purchase, while S indicates a sale. Transaction code C indicates the conversion of an option, and transaction code A indicates grant, award or other acquisition of securities from the company.
