作为模拟芯片和嵌入式处理芯片最大制造商的德州仪器公司周三在一份声明中表示，得益于汽车和工业客户的需求，该公司对本季度给出了强劲的营收预测。
Instruments Inc., the biggest maker of analog and embedded processing chips, gave a strong revenue forecast for the current period, lifted by demand from automotive and industrial customers.
公司称，第三季度营收将在58亿美元至63亿美元之间。根据彭博汇编的数据，分析师此前平均预估为57.3亿美元。
Revenue will be $5.8 billion to $6.3 billion in the third quarter, the company said in a statement Wednesday. Analysts had estimated $5.73 billion on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
在对人工智能泡沫的担忧拖累芯片板块之际，这一展望对更广泛的芯片市场是个利好。但该公司也受益于拥有广泛的客户群，这意味着其命运与人工智能建设的关联度较低。
The outlook bodes well for the broader chip market at a time when AI bubble fears have weighed on the sector. But the company also benefits from having a broad set of customers. That means its fortunes are less tied to the artificial intelligence build-out.
业绩发布后，该股在盘后交易中上涨逾2%。截至收盘，德州仪器股价今年以来已飙升逾60%，跑赢了芯片股的整体涨幅。
The shares gained more than 2% in late trading after the results were released. Texas Instruments shares had soared more than 60% this year through the close, outperforming a wider increase by chip stocks.
