Current Report: Himax Technologies Could Gain 11.4% This Year

Himax Technologies (HIMX) was founded in 2001 and is headquartered in Tainan, Taiwan.

The company is a semiconductor solution provider dedicated to display imaging processing technologies. It operates through the Driver Integrated Circuit and Non-Driver Products segments.

Three key data points gauge HIMX (or any dividend-paying entity):

(1) Price 

(2) Dividends

(3) Returns

Those three keys also indicate if any company has made, is making, and will make money.

HIMX Price

Himax’s single share price increased 0.13 (or 1.5%) from $8.46 to $8.59 this past year, per Friday’s market report.

Three analysts cover the stock and set a target price up $0.46 to $9.05. However, Himax’s average annual price increase was $1.085 over the past two years, moving from $5.42 to $8.59. Averaging the two estimates sets a compromise annual price gain at $0.77.  

HIMX Dividends

Himax Technologies Inc has paid annual dividends since October 2007, with the exception of the COVID years of 2019 and 2020. 

The July 2025 A dividend of $0.37 indicates a possible $0.37 annual dividend for the coming year. 

HIMX Returns

Putting it all together, a possible annual gross gain of $1.14 per share is predicted by adding the $0.37 forward-looking dividend to a 1yr $0.77 annual price-gain next year.

A little under $1000 invested at Thursday’s $8.59 share price would buy 116 shares which multiply the $1.14 estimated gross gain to a $132.71 upside for the coming year.

32% of that $133 upside gain could come from the $43.10 annual dividend payout from your $1,000 investment.

And the $43.10 annual dividend from $1k invested is over 5 times the HIMX $8.59 single share price.

A dividend dogcatcher rule is to only buy initial shares of a stock that pay an annual dividend (from $1000 invested) that is greater than the cost of a single share.

The exact track of HIMX’s future share price and dividend will entirely be determined by market action and company finances.   

Remember, the best way to track stock performance and dividend payments is through direct ownership of company shares.
