Shares of Texas Instruments (TXN ) dipped into the red during early afternoon trading Monday, just one day before the chip behemoth is scheduled to release its latest quarterly earnings report. With concerns emerging that the dominant run for semiconductor stocks could be over soon, investors will want to key a close eye on the recent results of an industry bellwether like TXN.
Increased demand for its chips—thanks to a variety of new applications throughout the tech landscape—has helped Texas Instruments surge considerably over the past few years. However, volatility in the tech sector and semiconductor industry has taken the wind out of the stock’s sails in recent months.
Still, earnings growth in our “Semiconductor – General” group is expected to exceed 20% in 2018, and investors will hope that Texas Instruments can get things started with a strong report on Tuesday. Let’s take a closer look.

The stock market had a mildly positive day on Friday, and gains of between 0.1% and 0.3% were common for most of the major benchmark indexes. Without any outright hostility among leaders of the G-7 nations in their summit in Canada's Quebec City, investors seemed content to go into the weekend with confidence in the prospects for the U.S. economy and its biggest businesses. Yet some individual companies had bad news that held their shares back from participating in the rally. Nabors Industries (NYSE:NBR), PolarityTE (NASDAQ:COOL), and Evolus (NASDAQ:EOLS) were among the worst performers on the day. Here's why they did so poorly.

Top High Tech Stocks To Invest In 2019: Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc.(PCRX)
Advisors' Opinion:- [By Jon C. Ogg]
Pacira Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (NASDAQ: PCRX) has found itself in the middle of a great opportunity but not being able to make the last mile of the race. Unfortunately, pain management in a non-opioid treatment has become an elusive target. And it’s too bad when you consider how many people have become addicted to opioids in America.
- [By Logan Wallace]
Pacira Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:PCRX) was downgraded by analysts at Zacks Investment Research from a hold rating to a sell rating. According to Zacks, “Pacira’s top line mainly comprises contribution from its marketed product. The company is heavily dependent on Exparel for growth, which accounts for a significant chunk of its revenues. This is a concern for the company. Exparel also competes with well-established products for postsurgical pain management. However, the company is making efforts to expand Exparel's label. In April 2018, the FDA approved Pacira’s sNDA seeking expansion of the Exparel label to include administration via nerve block for prolonged regional analgesia.”
