Texas Instruments (TXN)

TotalReturn:

'Total return is the amount of value an investor earns from a security over a specific period, typically one year, when all distributions are reinvested. Total return is expressed as a percentage of the amount invested. For example, a total return of 20% means the security increased by 20% of its original value due to a price increase, distribution of dividends (if a stock), coupons (if a bond) or capital gains (if a fund). Total return is a strong measure of an investment’s overall performance.'

• Looking at the total return, or increase in value of 196% in the last 5 years of Texas Instruments, we see it is relatively greater, thus better in comparison to the benchmark SPY (64.1%)
• Compared with SPY (48.1%) in the period of the last 3 years, the total return, or increase in value of 97% is larger, thus better.

CAGR:

'The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is a useful measure of growth over multiple time periods. It can be thought of as the growth rate that gets you from the initial investment value to the ending investment value if you assume that the investment has been compounding over the time period.'

• The annual return (CAGR) over 5 years of Texas Instruments is 24.3%, which is higher, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (10.4%) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (14%) in the period of the last 3 years, the annual return (CAGR) of 25.4% is higher, thus better.

Volatility:

'Volatility is a statistical measure of the dispersion of returns for a given security or market index. Volatility can either be measured by using the standard deviation or variance between returns from that same security or market index. Commonly, the higher the volatility, the riskier the security. In the securities markets, volatility is often associated with big swings in either direction. For example, when the stock market rises and falls more than one percent over a sustained period of time, it is called a 'volatile' market.'

• The historical 30 days volatility over 5 years of Texas Instruments is 25%, which is larger, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (13.6%) in the same period.
• During the last 3 years, the historical 30 days volatility is 24.8%, which is higher, thus worse than the value of 12.8% from the benchmark.

DownVol:

'Risk measures typically quantify the downside risk, whereas the standard deviation (an example of a deviation risk measure) measures both the upside and downside risk. Specifically, downside risk in our definition is the semi-deviation, that is the standard deviation of all negative returns.'

• Looking at the downside risk of 26.8% in the last 5 years of Texas Instruments, we see it is relatively larger, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (14.9%)
• Looking at downside risk in of 27.6% in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus worse in comparison to SPY (14.5%).

Sharpe:

'The Sharpe ratio (also known as the Sharpe index, the Sharpe measure, and the reward-to-variability ratio) is a way to examine the performance of an investment by adjusting for its risk. The ratio measures the excess return (or risk premium) per unit of deviation in an investment asset or a trading strategy, typically referred to as risk, named after William F. Sharpe.'

• The risk / return profile (Sharpe) over 5 years of Texas Instruments is 0.87, which is higher, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (0.58) in the same period.
• Compared with SPY (0.9) in the period of the last 3 years, the ratio of return and volatility (Sharpe) of 0.92 is greater, thus better.

Sortino:

'The Sortino ratio measures the risk-adjusted return of an investment asset, portfolio, or strategy. It is a modification of the Sharpe ratio but penalizes only those returns falling below a user-specified target or required rate of return, while the Sharpe ratio penalizes both upside and downside volatility equally. Though both ratios measure an investment's risk-adjusted return, they do so in significantly different ways that will frequently lead to differing conclusions as to the true nature of the investment's return-generating efficiency. The Sortino ratio is used as a way to compare the risk-adjusted performance of programs with differing risk and return profiles. In general, risk-adjusted returns seek to normalize the risk across programs and then see which has the higher return unit per risk.'

• The ratio of annual return and downside deviation over 5 years of Texas Instruments is 0.81, which is higher, thus better compared to the benchmark SPY (0.53) in the same period.
• Looking at downside risk / excess return profile in of 0.83 in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively greater, thus better in comparison to SPY (0.79).

Ulcer:

'The Ulcer Index is a technical indicator that measures downside risk, in terms of both the depth and duration of price declines. The index increases in value as the price moves farther away from a recent high and falls as the price rises to new highs. The indicator is usually calculated over a 14-day period, with the Ulcer Index showing the percentage drawdown a trader can expect from the high over that period. The greater the value of the Ulcer Index, the longer it takes for a stock to get back to the former high.'

• Compared with the benchmark SPY (4.02 ) in the period of the last 5 years, the Ulcer Index of 8.25 of Texas Instruments is larger, thus worse.
• Compared with SPY (4.09 ) in the period of the last 3 years, the Downside risk index of 8 is higher, thus worse.

MaxDD:

'Maximum drawdown measures the loss in any losing period during a fund’s investment record. It is defined as the percent retrenchment from a fund’s peak value to the fund’s valley value. The drawdown is in effect from the time the fund’s retrenchment begins until a new fund high is reached. The maximum drawdown encompasses both the period from the fund’s peak to the fund’s valley (length), and the time from the fund’s valley to a new fund high (recovery). It measures the largest percentage drawdown that has occurred in any fund’s data record.'

• The maximum drop from peak to valley over 5 years of Texas Instruments is -26.4 days, which is smaller, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (-19.3 days) in the same period.
• Looking at maximum drop from peak to valley in of -24.9 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively lower, thus worse in comparison to SPY (-19.3 days).

MaxDuration:

'The Maximum Drawdown Duration is an extension of the Maximum Drawdown. However, this metric does not explain the drawdown in dollars or percentages, rather in days, weeks, or months. It is the length of time the account was in the Max Drawdown. A Max Drawdown measures a retrenchment from when an equity curve reaches a new high. It’s the maximum an account lost during that retrenchment. This method is applied because a valley can’t be measured until a new high occurs. Once the new high is reached, the percentage change from the old high to the bottom of the largest trough is recorded.'

• Looking at the maximum time in days below previous high water mark of 306 days in the last 5 years of Texas Instruments, we see it is relatively larger, thus worse in comparison to the benchmark SPY (187 days)
• Looking at maximum time in days below previous high water mark in of 306 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (139 days).

AveDuration:

'The Drawdown Duration is the length of any peak to peak period, or the time between new equity highs. The Avg Drawdown Duration is the average amount of time an investment has seen between peaks (equity highs), or in other terms the average of time under water of all drawdowns. So in contrast to the Maximum duration it does not measure only one drawdown event but calculates the average of all.'

• The average days below previous high over 5 years of Texas Instruments is 70 days, which is higher, thus worse compared to the benchmark SPY (41 days) in the same period.
• Looking at average days below previous high in of 79 days in the period of the last 3 years, we see it is relatively higher, thus worse in comparison to SPY (35 days).
