Texas Instruments (TXN) takes a hit on earnings due to tariffs. The chip company is down 11% even as earnings beat estimates as sales rose 16.4% to $4.45 billion. Guidance was good, but not great as some of the business this quarter was front loaded ahead of tariffs. Investors are concerned business will take a hit later in the year as TI outsources their chip production and could get hit with tariffs. TI also does a lot of business in China which could get hurt if tariffs negotiations stall.
