"Zeno highlights its high-conviction position in Texas Instruments, arguing that the company's aggressive in-house US manufacturing expansion and focus on long-lived catalog analog chips will generate superior long-term returns despite short-term cyclical headwinds."
In this June 2025 letter, Zeno Equity Partners details its investment thesis for Texas Instruments (TXN), which was added to the fund in January 2024. Zeno highlights the fundamental attractiveness of the analog semiconductor industry, which offers superior product longevity (products lasting over 10 years generate ~50% of revenue) and less obsolescence risk compared to digital logic chips. TI's unique approach focuses on catalog (standardized) analog chips, direct distribution, and vertical integration (in-house manufacturing). Zeno argues that TI's massive, counter-cyclical capex cycle to build fabs in the US (Texas and Utah) is a brilliant, long-term capital allocation move that will capture outsized returns during the next industry upcycle and address rising geopolitical demands for domestic supply chains.
