However, Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN) hasn’t abandoned mobile completely. It’s reportedly supplying the processor for Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:AMZN)‘s entry-level Kindle Fires, continuing a relationship that began with earlier Fires. That doesn’t seem like it would be enough to reverse a slide that you can clearly see in the charts up above. TI’s latest quarter experienced both sequential and year-over-year revenue declines, a trend that is sure to turn some passing grades into failures next year, should it continue. Despite that weakness, TI execs felt comfortable enough to boost the dividend by a third earlier this year, which is at the least a show of confidence in the company’s financial future. Will this optimism be justified? We’ll have to wait and see.

Putting the pieces together
Today, TI has some of the qualities that make up a great stock, but no stock is truly perfect. Digging deeper can help you uncover the answers you need to make a great buy — or to stay away from a stock that’s going nowhere.
