Q2 Guidance Raise Puts Himax’s (HIMX) Automotive and AI Chip Momentum in FocusMay 7, 2026 11:01 AM
IH Market News Himax expects sequential growth in the second quarter as automotive projects, non-driver ICs, WiseEye AI, and smart glasses opportunities support its 2026 outlook. Key Investor Takeaways Himax (NASDAQ:HIMX) reported Q1 revenue of $199.0 million, reaching the high end of its guidance range. Q1 profit of 4.6 cents per diluted ADS came in above the company’s prior outlook. Q2 guidance calls for revenue growth of 10% to 13% quarter-over-quarter. Automotive display IC projects and non-driver products, including Tcon and WiseEye AI, are central to the 2026 growth narrative. Rising memory demand, foundry tightness, and gold prices are creating cost pressures that may affect margins and pricing. Why HIMX Stock Is in Focus Himax Technologies (NASDAQ:HIMX) reported first-quarter revenue of $199.0 million, down 2.0% sequentially but at the high end of its guidance range.Gross margin was 30.4%, also at the high end of guidance. Profit per diluted ADS was 4.6 cents, above the company’s projected range of 2.0 to 4.0 cents.Large display driver revenue rose 11.7% quarter-over-quarter to $24.2 million, helped by better-than-expected restocking of high-end TV ICs by a leading panel maker.Small and medium-sized display driver revenue totaled $135.8 million, down 2.4% sequentially during a seasonal low period. Non-driver sales were $39.0 million, down 7.7% from the previous quarter.“We expect upward momentum through the remainder of 2026, supported by a meaningful number of new automotive projects scheduled to enter mass production in the second half, a view consistent with our outlook from last quarter’s call. The positive outlook is also supported by the anticipated growth in our non-driver IC businesses, particularly Tcon and WiseEye AI. Despite ongoing macro uncertainty, Himax continues to expand beyond its traditional display IC business, focusing on key growth areas including smart glasses, ultralow power AI and CPO. These emerging technologies present significant growth opportunities that help diversify our revenue base into areas with attractive gross margin profiles and profitability while also strengthening our overall competitiveness.” said Mr. Jordan Wu, President and Chief Executive Officer of Himax.For the second quarter, Himax expects revenue to increase 10.0% to 13.0% sequentially, gross margin of around 32%, and profit of 8.6 cents to 10.3 cents per diluted ADS. Why This Matters for Investors The Q2 guidance raise may shift attention from the softer first-quarter seasonal backdrop to a potential recovery phase.For investors, the key issue is whether Himax can convert its automotive design-win pipeline and non-driver IC portfolio into higher-margin revenue growth. The company specifically pointed to automotive Tcon, WiseEye AI, smart glasses, ultralow power AI, and CPO as areas that could diversify the business beyond traditional display driver ICs.Cost pressure remains an important risk. Himax said AI-related memory demand is tightening supply across mature process nodes, while rising gold prices are adding additional pressure. The company is working with customers on pricing adjustments, with some increases already taking effect in Q2.The automotive business may be especially important to the valuation narrative because Himax said several new projects are scheduled to enter mass production in the second half of 2026. That could support sentiment if the ramp progresses as planned.At the same time, limited visibility in consumer electronics and automotive markets means investors may remain focused on whether the Q2 rebound can continue into the second half. What to Watch Next Investors will likely watch Q2 revenue growth, gross margin progress, and whether pricing actions offset higher costs.Key catalysts include the second-half ramp of new automotive projects, growth in Tcon and WiseEye AI, mass production timing for smart glasses using WiseEye, and CPO shipment progress with FOCI.Himax’s annual dividend of 25.2 cents per ADS, payable July 10, 2026, may also remain relevant for investors tracking shareholder returns and cash flow confidence.Himax Technologies stock price Original: Q2 Guidance Raise Puts Himax’s (HIMX) Automotive and AI Chip Momentum in Focus

Walter, no run, stock still getting crushed down, as of yesterday...The more I hold my shares the more my baggie keeps filling up!!!

It will run again imo

WTF! Where is the run? Is this stock being shorted and not invested anymore? Should I sell now while iv got something left? Stocks don't just run up overnight, and theres been no forward movement that holds in 2 years....

Agreed should run imo

500% upside within 2 years here imho ~ I’ve been buying since $7’s

This stock IMHO has been bashed down for a year now, way oversold!
If anyone has solid news on why, and if todays big bounce will hold and continue up, please please chime in!

Hi all

Wondering if someone could explain to me the purpose of the new facility and what problem it solved. Would like to know if the facility was a good investment for the company or not

Added and will continue adding on the way up once bottomed confirmed

Ran to 15.00 last year think we can see a similar move soon or before years end

Selling should be drying up. Christmas is around the corner more $$$ from sales

52 week low a couple days ago expecting a nice bounce

Hit the target
Macquarie downgrades Himax on low order visibility
Aug. 16, 2018 7:52 AM ET
Macquarie downgrades Himax Technologies (NASDAQ:HIMX) from Outperform to Neutral with a $6 price target, a 1.5% upside to yesterday’s close.

Accumulate now...the massive capex spend in new facilities during the last year will reap rewards early 2019.

This is a no brainer at this price. At least for the next couple months, we'll be back in the high 7s and 8s sooner than you can expect :)

Nice hit last quarter. Himx

Yes I’ve added some $6’s as well to my stash. Looking forward to beat this Q

Over sold time to get back in. IMO
