Texas Instrument Buy-Back Moves Shares Up

Texas Intruments (TXN) announced this morning that it would add $5 billion to a share buy-back program and would raise its dividend 25%. Shares are up 2% to $36.50. The company currently has a market cap of just over $50 billion.

The company issued very modest guidance for the current quarter and investors have been concerned that the second half of the year might be slow for the company.
