How $10,000 in TXN could grow
The model assumes the yield stays at 3.0%, so the share price and the dividend per share both grow at 13.0% a year. With DRIP, each year's dividends buy more shares; without it, they are paid to you as cash. It ignores taxes, fees and market swings, which in reality are large.
| Years | Value with DRIP | Annual income (DRIP) | Value without DRIP | Cash dividends collected |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | $45,620 | $1,369 | $33,946 | $5,526 |
| 20 | $208,120 | $6,244 | $115,231 | $24,284 |
| 30 | $949,446 | $28,483 | $391,159 | $87,960 |
After 30 years, reinvesting ends about $470,327 ahead of taking the cash and leaving it uninvested, and the position would pay roughly $28,483 a year in dividends. Your yield on the original $10,000 (yield on cost) would rise from 3.0% to about 10.2% after 10 years and 34.6% after 20 years from dividend growth alone, before counting reinvested shares.
What drives the result for TXN
TXN combines a 3.0% yield with 13.0% dividend growth, so both current income and growth contribute to the projection. In this model the total annual return is roughly yield plus growth: about 16.4% a year.
The Information Technology stocks we track average a 3.0% yield. Sector matters: utilities and consumer staples tend to pay steady dividends, while technology and industrial companies often pay less today but have raised payouts faster. None of this is guaranteed; companies can and do cut dividends.

Taxes on TXN dividends in 2026
In a taxable brokerage account, dividends are taxed in the year they're paid, even when DRIP reinvests them. Most dividends from US companies like Texas Instruments are qualified dividends if you hold the shares for more than 60 days during the 121-day window around the ex-dividend date. For 2026 they're taxed at 0% up to $49,450 of taxable income ($98,900 married filing jointly), 15% up to $545,500 ($613,700), and 20% above that, plus the 3.8% net investment income tax at higher incomes.
Example: $10,000 in TXN pays about $300 in the first year. In the 15% bracket the federal tax is about $45, owed even if every dollar was reinvested. Each reinvestment also adds to your cost basis, so keep records (your broker usually tracks this) to avoid paying tax twice when you sell.
Holding TXN in a traditional IRA or 401(k) defers the tax until withdrawal; in a Roth account, qualified withdrawals are tax-free. See our DRIP guide and Roth vs traditional IRA for more.

TXN dividend FAQ
How much do I need to invest in TXN to earn $1,000 a year in dividends?
At the reference yield of 3.0%, about $33,333. If Texas Instruments keeps growing its dividend around 13.0% a year, the same position would pay more each year without adding money. The actual amount depends on the yield when you buy.
Should I reinvest TXN dividends (DRIP)?
Reinvesting compounds your share count: in this model, $10,000 grows to about $949,446 over 30 years with DRIP versus $479,119 (shares plus dividends collected) without it. Taking the cash makes sense if you need the income now, want to rebalance into other holdings, or already hold too much of one stock.
Is TXN a good dividend stock?
This page doesn't make recommendations. To judge any dividend stock, look at the payout ratio (dividends vs. earnings and free cash flow), debt levels, how the dividend held up in past recessions, and whether the business can keep growing. A single stock is riskier than a diversified fund, whatever its yield.
Are TXN dividends taxed if I reinvest them?
Yes, in a taxable brokerage account. Reinvested dividends are taxed the same year, usually as qualified dividends at 0%, 15% or 20% for 2026 if you meet the holding period. In a traditional IRA or 401(k) they aren't taxed until you withdraw, and in a Roth account qualified withdrawals are tax-free.
