Texas Instruments raised quarterly dividend to $1.52 per share

Texas Instruments filed Form 8-K with the SEC on 2026-09-17. According to the company, it would raise its quarterly cash dividend, a cash payment to shareholders, 7%, from $1.42 per share to $1.52. The raised quarterly dividend equals $6.08 annualized.

The higher dividend will be payable November 10, 2026, to stockholders of record on October 30, 2026, meaning the holders officially registered on that date. The higher dividend is contingent upon formal declaration by the board of directors, the company's governing board, at its regular meeting in October.

The company said the increase is consistent with TI providing a sustainable and growing dividend. The company said the increase reflects its continued commitment to return all free cash flow, the cash left after operating costs and investments, to its owners over time.

For investors focused on income, the message linked the higher payout to continuity rather than a one-off move. It also presented the dividend as part of a longer-term approach to returning cash to owners over time.
