Aylin Güneş – Dividend and buyback programs are core pillars of TI's long‑term value‑creation strategy. The current 2.5% dividend yield ranks among the highest in the sector, and the buyback plan sends a strong signal of increasing book‑value per share. However, supply‑chain uncertainty and currency risks warrant a cautious stance. If you consider holding TI in your portfolio, balance these risk factors carefully while emphasizing the long‑term benefits of dividend flow and share repurchases.
