Valuing Himax Technologies stock is incredibly difficult, and any metric has to be viewed as part of a bigger picture of Himax Technologies's overall performance. However, analysts commonly use some key metrics to help gauge the value of a stock.
Himax Technologies's current share price divided by its per-share earnings (EPS) over a 12-month period gives a "trailing price/earnings ratio" of roughly 12x. In other words, Himax Technologies shares trade at around 12x recent earnings.
That's relatively low compared to, say, the trailing 12-month P/E ratio for the NASDAQ 100 at the end of 2019 (27.29). The low P/E ratio could mean that investors are pessimistic about the outlook for the shares or simply that they're under-valued.
Himax Technologies's "price/earnings-to-growth ratio" can be calculated by dividing its P/E ratio by its growth – to give 2.81. A low ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer better value, while a higher ratio can be interpreted as meaning the shares offer worse value.
The PEG ratio provides a broader view than just the P/E ratio, as it gives more insight into Himax Technologies's future profitability. By accounting for growth, it could also help you if you're comparing the share prices of multiple high-growth companies.
Himax Technologies's EBITDA (earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortisation) is $78.8 million.
The EBITDA is a measure of a Himax Technologies's overall financial performance and is widely used to measure a its profitability.

Dividend payout ratio: 64.44% of net profits
Recently Himax Technologies has paid out, on average, around 100% of net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 0% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), Himax Technologies shareholders could enjoy a 0% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Himax Technologies's case, that would currently equate to about $0 per share.
Himax Technologies's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.
Himax Technologies's most recent dividend payout was on 11 July 2024. The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 27 June 2024 (the "ex-dividend date").
Over the last 12 months, Himax Technologies's shares have ranged in value from as little as $4.6326 up to $8.5. A popular way to gauge a stock's volatility is its "beta".
Beta is a measure of a share's volatility in relation to the market. The market (NASDAQ average) beta is 1, while Himax Technologies's is 2.154. This would suggest that Himax Technologies's shares are significantly more volatile than the average for this exchange and represent a higher risk.
