Himax Technologies: The Pullback Makes CPO Worth The Risk
Himax Technologies is rated a cautious Buy after a 45% pullback, improving risk/reward despite weak current earnings. HIMX's recovery thesis hinges on automotive demand, non-driver products, and especially co-packaged optics (CPO) ramping to meaningful revenue in 2027. CPO offers credible upside, but volume production, customer validation, and firm order visibility remain key uncertainties for the 2027–2028 earnings inflection.
