Texas Instruments Inc TXN shares are volatile in Tuesday's after-hours session after the company reported better-than-expected financial results.

What Happened: Texas Instruments reported fourth-quarter revenue of $4.67 billion, which beat average analyst estimates of $4.62 billion, according to Benzinga Pro. The Dallas-based company said its top-line results were down 11% sequentially and down 3% on a year-over-year basis.

Texas Instruments reported fourth-quarter earnings of $2.13 per share, which beat average estimates of $1.98 per share.
