Management said analog capacity additions had been limited over the prior four years, particularly for geopolitically dependable capacity outside China and Taiwan. TI saw some midyear customer discussions for urgent additional supply and price movement mainly on analog products in the second half of 2026, following flat year-over-year pricing in the first half. Management characterized the 2026 increase as modest and said 2027 pricing discussions were underway, considering customer demand and the supply customers seek to secure. Further detail is expected with guidance at the January call.
