Texas Instruments Incorporated (TXN) $33.12 -0.60%
Texas Instruments (TXN) loses 17 cents to $33.15 and an Apr 32 – 33 call spread trades on the chipmaker for 60 cents, 7000X on ISE. Data indicate a customer bought the spread, to open, and is probably looking for the stock to hold above $33 through the April expiration, which is in 53 days. The stock has been trading in a narrow range over the past few weeks, but is up 13.9 percent year-to-date. Earnings were reported on 1/23 and probably won’t come into play again until after the Apr expiration. However, the company presents at a Morgan Stanley conference tomorrow and will offer a mid-quarter update on Mar 8.
