Texas Instruments forecasts first-quarter revenue below expectations

(Reuters) – Chipmaker Texas Instruments forecast first-quarter revenue below Wall Street targets on Tuesday as a wider economic downturn threatens to shake last years resilient demand in its key industrial market.

（路透社）——芯片制造商德州仪器公司周二预测第一季度收入低于华尔街目标，因为更广泛的经济衰退可能会动摇其主要工业市场去年的弹性需求。

Shares of the Dallas, Texas-based company fell 2% in extended trading. In 2022, the stock lost more than 12% as the chip sector faced its worst year since the 2008 financial crisis.

这家总部位于得克萨斯州达拉斯的公司股价在盘后交易中下跌 2%。到 2022 年，由于芯片行业面临自 2008 年金融危机以来最糟糕的一年，该股下跌超过 12%。

The consumer electronics segment had taken the first hit when red-hot inflation drove people to abandon discretionary spending on smartphones and PCs, but Texas Instruments in October warned that most of its end-markets were starting to feel the pinch.

当炽热的通货膨胀驱使人们放弃在智能手机和 pc 上的可自由支配支出时，消费电子领域首先受到打击，但德州仪器 (ti) 在 10 月份警告说，其大部分终端市场开始感受到压力。

The chip industry bellwethers dour outlook was also echoed by peers such as Intel Corp and Micron Technology.

芯片行业领头羊的悲观前景也得到了英特尔公司和美光科技等同行的响应。

The company expects revenue of $4.17 billion to $4.53 billion in the first quarter, the mid-point of which is lower than analysts average estimate of $4.41 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

根据 refinitiv 的数据，该公司预计第一季度收入为 41.7 亿美元至 45.3 亿美元，中值低于分析师平均预期的 44.1 亿美元。
