Elliott Invests $2.5B in Texas Instruments, Calls for Better Cash Flow

Hedge fund Elliott Management has taken a $2.5 billion stake in Texas Instruments, urging the company to adopt a more flexible capital expenditure strategy to improve free cash flow. Elliott's letter suggests that Texas Instruments' current rigid capex plan has significantly reduced free cash flow and negatively impacted shareholder returns. The hedge fund proposes a "dynamic capacity-management strategy" to better align with market demand and enhance financial performance. Texas Instruments is reviewing the letter and remains focused on decisions that benefit all shareholders.
