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.

<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 Unusual Options Activity

Texas Instruments declares $1.36 dividend

The tech sector has seen a significant shift, with several companies moving beyond growth to focus on shareholder returns. Thus, investors might consider adding quality tech stocks Cisco Systems (CSCO), International Business Machines (IBM), and Texas Instruments (TXN) to their watchlists for their solid dividends. Continue reading… Traditionally, the tech sector was associated with growth and innovation, but now it has evolved as the companies in this sector offer consistent dividends. As the tech landscape matures, firms with robust cash flows are increasingly prioritizing shareholder returns through dividends.
Below, I have highlighted three fundamentally stable tech stocks: Cisco Systems, Inc. (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/CSCO/">CSCO</a>), International Business Machines Corporation (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/IBM/">IBM</a>), and Texas Instruments Incorporated (<a href="https://stocknews.com/stock/TXN/">TXN</a>), offering a dividend yield of more than 2.5%.
Cloud computing and software service providers have emerged as key players in this space. These firms benefited from accelerated digital transformation trends. With stabilizing interest rates, evolving market dynamics, and an incoming Trump administration, <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/emilsayegh/2024/12/27/tech-investment-predictions-for-2025-transformation-and-realignment/">the 2025 tech investment environment promises</a> fewer speculative frenzies and more focused, strategic activity.
As the demand for data-intensive technologies surges, investments in critical infrastructure are aligning with broader trends in AI, cloud computing, and connectivity. The U.S. IT services market is anticipated to <a href="https://www.grandviewresearch.com/industry-analysis/us-it-services-market-report">reach $695.6 billion by 2030</a>, growing at a CAGR of 7.9%. Also, global IT spending will expand by 8.3%, <a href="https://canalys.com/insights/it-spending-forecasts-2025">reaching $5.44 trillion</a> this year, driven by rising demand for cloud solutions, cybersecurity, automation, and data management.
