Texas Instruments Inc. earned $72 million in the second quarter, marking the second three-month period of profitability after six straight quarters of losses.

The company’s profit in the three months ended June 30 equaled 73 cents a share. Texas Instruments lost $157 million, or $1.99 a share, in the second quarter of 1991.
