Jefferies maintains a 'Buy' on Texas Instruments (NASDAQ: TXN) price target of $33.00.

Analyst, Mark Lipacis, said, "TXN posted in-line revs and beat EPS by $0.04 due largely to better OpEx, but forecasted 3Q revenues 6% below consensus. We lower our estimates, but maintain our rating. We like TI's competitive position, and believe there is material leverage and cash flow once growth resumes. We forecast a FCF yield of 9% on our 2013 model, and model gross margins to expand by 380 bps over the next 4 quarters." (current qtr lowered from $0.53 to $0.46, FY12 from $1.79 to $1.73, and FY13 from $2.37 to $2.25)
