Richard Templeton, executive chairman of Texas Instruments, has emphasized the company’s strategy of maintaining internal manufacturing as a competitive advantage, stating that during the COVID-19 pandemic, TI performed better than competitors that were highly outsourced.

Templeton also discussed capital allocation, advocating for disciplined stock buybacks and dividends, and said that research and development spending would remain unchanged due to its long-term, five-to-ten-year horizon.

He described the U.S. as needing to be an attractive destination for the world’s best minds and supported policies that encourage R&D and domestic manufacturing investment. On geopolitical tensions, he stated that TI would comply with all laws and rulings, and that companies that adapt best will cope with challenges accordingly. Templeton also reiterated his view that recessions present opportunities to extend competitive advantage through continued investment.
