The Taiwan-based chipmaker projects lower Q1 2026 sales amid declining demand for display driver ICs and inventory corrections.
Himax Technologies expects Q1 2026 revenue to decline sequentially due to weak demand for display driver integrated circuits. The company cited ongoing inventory adjustments in the consumer electronics sector as a key factor weighing on sales.
Analysts had anticipated a modest rebound after Q4 2025, but Himax’s guidance suggests prolonged softness in the display market. The company’s outlook contrasts with broader semiconductor recovery trends, signaling sector-specific challenges.
Shares of Himax (HIMX) showed limited movement in after-hours trading, reflecting investor caution ahead of the official earnings release.
