Texas Instruments Executives Receive Billion-Dollar Long-Term Incentive Stock and Options

On January 29, 2026, Texas Instruments Inc. (TXN) granted a substantial package of common stock and non-qualified stock options under its 2024 Long-Term Incentive Plan to three senior vice presidents. Gary Mark, Leonard Shanon J., and Ron Amichai each received options with an exercise price of $218.97 per share, along with several thousand shares of stock or restricted stock units (RSUs). The options will vest in equal annual installments over four years beginning January 29, 2027, and on January 30 a portion of each executive’s holdings was withheld to cover taxes. Based on this grant, senior vice president Gary Mark’s RSUs are valued at roughly ₩3 billion, the notional value of his options at about ₩11 billion, and his directly held common stock at around ₩16 billion.

In its fourth-quarter 2025 earnings report on January 27, Texas Instruments recorded revenue of $4.42 billion and earnings per share of $1.27—figures that slightly missed consensus but represented a 10% year-over-year increase in sales. For the first quarter of 2026, the company forecasts revenue between $4.32 billion and $4.68 billion, and earnings per share of $1.22 to $1.48, driven chiefly by demand in its industrial, automotive, and data-center markets.

Headquartered in Dallas, Texas Instruments is a leading analog and embedded-processing semiconductor company. Roughly 75% of its sales come from business-to-business markets—industrial, automotive, and data centers. The analog segment accounts for about 80% of total revenue, with embedded processing contributing around 15%. To support these core businesses, the company invests billions of dollars annually in research and development, capital expenditures, dividends, and share repurchases.
