<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

The greenback is experiencing its worst weekly performance since July 2023, as President Donald Trump refrained from imposing new tariffs during his first week and escalated pressure on the Federal Reserve, urging the central bank to lower interest rates. The U.S. dollar index – tracked by the Invesco DB USD Index Bullish Fund ETF (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/UUP#NYSE">UUP</a>) – dropped 0.7% on Friday, extending its weekly decline to 1.7%.
Adding to the dollar's downward momentum, the Bank of Japan raised interest rates by 25 basis points to 0.5%, the highest level since 2008, in a move that broadly met expectations.
Gold capitalized on the dollar's weakness and rising tensions between the president and the central bank, marking another week of strong gains and approaching all-time highs. The bullion, tracked by the SPDR Gold Trust (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GLD#NYSE">GLD</a>), was trading at $2,777 per ounce.
On the macro front, S&amp;P Global reported a slowdown in private sector growth in January, as the services sector faced an unexpected setback, despite manufacturing expanding for the first<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43195427/us-services-growth-slows-manufacturing-finally-expands-in-january-inflation-was-broad-based-expert-warns"> time in seven months.</a>
A warning came from the University of Michigan's consumer survey, which downwardly revised the January consumer confidence indicator and pointed to increasing trends of households making purchases in advance to avoid potential price hikes <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/economics/macro-economic-events/25/01/43197024/consumer-confidence-declines-as-buying-in-advance-trends-grow">linked to tariffs.</a>
In the cryptocurrency market, Bitcoin (CRYPTO: <a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/btc/usd">BTC</a>) climbed 2.5% following Trump's executive order signed on Thursday, aimed at strengthening U.S. leadership in digital assets.

NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) shares are moving lower on Friday following soft guidance from Texas Instruments, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>).
What To Know: Texas Instruments expects 2025 fiscal-year first-quarter revenue between $3.74 billion and $4.06 billion, versus analysts estimate of $4.15 billion. The company also anticipates earnings per share in the range of $0.94 to $1.16, below the $1.37 <a href="https://www.benzinga.com//node/43195119">consensus estimate</a>.
Furthermore, Texas Instruments expects an effective tax rate of 12% for the 2025 fiscal-year.
NVIDIA shares may be trading lower following soft guidance from Texas Instruments as both companies are in the semiconductor industry and may face similar headwinds. Texas Instruments&#8217; guidance may signal upcoming challenges, including weaker demand or other potential challenges.
Other companies in the semiconductor field that are trading lower following the soft guidance from Texas Instruments, include Intel Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/INTC#NASDAQ">INTC</a>) and ASML Holding N.V. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>).

What's Going On With NVIDIA Stock Friday?

Shares of Texas Instruments Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TXN#NASDAQ">TXN</a>) were trading lower on Friday, despite the company reporting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/25/01/43178087/texas-instruments-stock-slips-after-q4-results-soft-q1-earnings-guidance">better-than-expected fourth-quarter results</a>.
The company reported its quarterly results amid an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/earnings">exciting earnings season</a>. Here are some key analyst takeaways.
Rosenblatt Securities On Texas Instruments
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5df228e4bffdfc0001d6f9ed/hans-mosesmann">Analyst Hans Mosesmann</a> maintained a Buy rating and price target of $250.
Texas Instruments' fourth-quarter beat was modest and its outlook mixed, Mosesmann said in a note. The company's bottoming and recovery process seems to be "extending into 2025," he added.
"The Street will likely focus on the sequential decline in GMs for 1Q25 on LFAB underloading (mostly embedded), but management came across as within normal seasonality from a demand perspective if analog is included," the analyst wrote. The bottoming of cancellations and an improvement in orders booked and shipped within the quarter are signs of "a return to normalcy," he further stated.
Benchmark On Texas Instruments
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/5e2ae9e3430dee0001c80e0c/cody-acree">Analyst Cody Acree</a> reiterated a Buy rating and price target of $230.
Texas Instruments reported its quarterly sales at $4.01 billion and earnings of $1.30 per share, beating the consensus by $130 million and 10 cents per share, respectively, Acree said. Management's sales guidance came in above the Street estimate, while earnings outlook missed expectations, he added.
The company's performance is "a key indicator of semi industry health" and the latest results indicate a continued sequential decline in its Industrial and automotive businesses, while its Industrial segment seems to be "bouncing along a bottom," the analyst stated. 
"Although, the company is still yet to see consistent indications of a broad industry recovery, we believe the company is well positioned when the chip cycle finally begins to turn, which we expect will become more evident through the first half of 2025," he further wrote.

JPMorgan On Texas Instruments
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/59f1c1bdefacff0001706787/harlan-sur">Analyst Harlan Sur</a> reaffirmed an Overweight rating and price target of $230.
Texas Instruments delivered a beat on revenue, margins and earnings, "reflecting gradually improving cyclical trends," Sur said. The company's analog products grew year-on-year for the first time in eight quarters and management's guidance for the first quarter shows total revenue growth for the first time in nine quarters, he added.
"The cyclical end markets that saw an inflection in the previous quarters continued to improve, while the recovery in auto &amp; industrial continues to be delayed," the analyst wrote. "Despite this, most sub-segments within these markets are stabilizing or bottoming out," he further stated,
Stifel On Texas Instruments
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-stock-ratings/analyst/58d94a95b85e930001fd9dd2/tore-svanberg">Analyst Tore Svanberg</a> reiterated a Hold rating and price target of $200.
The revenue beat in the quarter was driven by personal electronics and communications equipment, Svanberg said. He added that industrial and automotive businesses remained soft.
"Embedded continues to weigh on revs and profitability…having begun its correction ~4 quarters later (~4Q23 for Embedded vs. 4Q22 for Analog)," the analyst wrote. "While management did not provide specific guidance by end market, we believe softer seasonality in PE, continued softness in Industrial (esp. Factory Automation and Energy Infrastructure, the two largest sub-sectors) and Automotive (esp. non-China)," he further stated.
Raymond James On Texas Instruments
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/topic/melissa-fairbanks">Analyst Melissa Fairbank</a> maintained a Market Perform rating on the stock.
Texas Instruments' first-quarter outlook reflects a seasonal decline, although the revenue guidance shows a return to year-on-year growth for the first time in several quarters, Fairbank said. 
Although there were signs of stabilization across multiple end markets, headwinds from reduced factory loading and depreciation expense could continue to pressure company's earnings until there is an inflection in broad-based demand, she added.
"While we normally look to Texas Instruments to lead the industry out of a downturn, expectations for continued underutilization and elevated inventory levels are clouding the visibility somewhat, and we're reluctant to call a definitive bottom to the current cycle," the analyst wrote.
TXN Price Action: Shares of Texas Instruments fell by 5.4% to $189.74 at the time of publication on Friday.
