Texas Instruments hikes dividend by 7.8%

On September 15, 2022, Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) announced that it will raise its quarterly dividend by 7.8 percent to $1.24 per share. This marks 19 consecutive years of dividend growth by the semiconductor company and follows a dividend hike of 12.7 percent to $1.15 per share in 2021. 

The higher TXN dividend will be payable November 15, 2022, to stockholders of record on October 31, 2022, contingent upon formal declaration by the board of directors at its regular meeting in October.

This is in addition to approximately $8.2 billion of previously authorized repurchases that remained at the end of June 2022. 

A new annual dividend rate of $4.96 per share yields 3.0% to TXN shareholders at a stock price of $163. The next ex-dividend date for the increased quarterly dividend of $1.24 per share is October 28, 2022.
