On July 17, Texas Instruments fell 3.04% in pre-market trading, trading at approximately 282.38 USD/share, with turnover of approximately 1.47 million USD.

On the news front, the semiconductor sector extended its broad weakness. TSMC's Q2 earnings release triggered a classic \"buy the rumor, sell the news\" reaction, with the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index dropping over 3% the prior session, spreading selling pressure across the sector. TSMC's ADR fell nearly 4% in pre-market despite strong results, as its approximately 77% cumulative gain over the past year had already priced in AI-driven growth expectations.

Meanwhile, the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore is soliciting public input on Texas Instruments' proposed acquisition of Silicon Laboratories, with a deadline of July 22. The regulatory review adds near-term uncertainty. Notably, the company is also scheduled to report Q2 earnings after market close on July 22, with consensus EPS estimates at 1.91 USD, contributing to pre-earnings caution.

Within the Semiconductors sector, top decliners include Intel down 4.44%, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing down 3.90%, Advanced Micro Devices down 3.73%, Micron Technology down 3.67%, and NVIDIA down 2.90%.
