The latest update is out from Himax Technologies ( (HIMX) ).

Himax Technologies reported fourth-quarter 2025 revenue of $203.1 million, up 2% sequentially and ahead of guidance, with gross margin at 30.4% and earnings of 3.6 cents per diluted ADS at the top end of its forecast range. For full year 2025, revenue fell 8.2% to $832.2 million amid weak consumer electronics demand and cautious panel customers, though gross margin held at 30.6% and non-driver product sales grew 7%, lifting their share of total revenue to 20%.

The company guided first-quarter 2026 revenue to decline 2%–6% quarter on quarter, with flat to slightly lower gross margin and profit of 2–4 cents per diluted ADS, and said it expects Q1 to mark the trough for the year before a rebound from Q2 driven by lean customer inventories and new automotive projects entering mass production. Despite limited near-term visibility in the automotive sector, Himax highlighted resilient automotive driver IC growth, dominant share in automotive Tcon, and accelerating WiseEye AI and smart glasses opportunities as key long-term growth drivers that should improve its product mix and profitability and reinforce its competitive position.

The most recent analyst rating on (HIMX) stock is a Hold with a $8.00 price target. To see the full list of analyst forecasts on Himax Technologies stock, see the HIMX Stock Forecast page.
