## Valuation
- **P/E (trailing): 65.1×** (5-yr avg 30.3×, 3-yr avg 44.8×). Himax Technologies Inc. American trades at 65.1× trailing earnings, well above its own five-year average of 30.3×: investors are paying up relative to the company's past. The Technology median in the September 2026 study was 32.1×. Forward P/E is 10.5×, lower than trailing, so analysts expect earnings to grow.
- **Price / sales: 2.9×**. Each dollar of revenue is priced at 2.9×.
- **Price / book: 2.7×**. The shares trade at 2.7× book value; book value is a meaningful part of the valuation.
- **Free-cash-flow yield: 1.1%** (5-yr avg 5.6%). Free cash flow equals 1.1% of the market value, below its five-year average of 5.6%, so the shares are pricier on cash than usual.
- **Earnings yield: 1.5%**. The inverse of the P/E: 1.5% of the price is earned each year.

## Profitability
- **Gross margin: 31.1%**. Himax Technologies Inc. American keeps 31.1% of revenue after the direct cost of what it sells.
- **Operating margin: 4.9%**. 4.9% of revenue is left after running the business, which leaves little cushion in a downturn.
- **Net margin: 5.3%**. 5.3% of each dollar of sales reaches the bottom line.
- **Return on equity: 4.9%**. 4.9% on shareholders' equity is weak; the business earns little on the capital its owners have in it.

## Growth
- **Revenue growth (1 yr): -8.2%** (3-yr -11.5%/yr, 5-yr -1.3%/yr). Revenue fell 8.2% over the last year, against -1.3% a year compounded over five years: growth is slowing.
- **EPS growth (1 yr): -43.5%** (3-yr -42.4%/yr, 5-yr -1.5%/yr). Earnings per share fell 43.5%, slower than revenue, so margins compressed.
- **Free-cash-flow growth (3 yr): 19.0%/yr**. Free cash flow has compounded at 19.0% a year over three years, keeping pace with earnings: the growth is real cash.

## Financial health
