This marked its highest close since Jan. 18, 2022.TFI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a post on Medium that he expects Himax to leverage its WFO technology and strong partnership with Fiber Optics Communications to enter the supply chain for TSM’s co-packaged optics (CPO) and Nvidia’s next-generation artificial intelligence (AI) chips Rubin series.&nbsp;Himax has a 5.3% equity stake in Fiber Optics Communications, Kuo said.“Looking ahead, CPO is anticipated to become the critical chip design of AI servers and HPC, making WLO a key driver of long-term growth for Himax,” he added.The analyst expects the demand for WLO technology, driven by CPO applications, to begin contributing to Himax's revenue in the fourth quarter of 2024, primarily driven by technical qualification and trial production. He expects steady growth in 2025 and rapid acceleration in 2026.Later, Baird analyst Tristan Gerra upped the price target for Himax stock from $5 to $7 and maintained an ‘Outperform’ rating, citing CPO and augmented reality (AR) opportunities. These opportunities reach to Himax’s core technological capabilities and represent secular growth vectors, the analyst said.Gerra said Himax is well-positioned to benefit from TSMC’s plan to ramp photonics within CoWoS packaging in 2026 to address AI-driven surging bandwidth demand.Himax is also well-positioned with its microdisplay and waveguide patented technologies into a new class of AR devices launching in the next two to three years as tier-one OEMs have given up on internal microdisplay development efforts, he added.’<figure class="image"><img style="aspect-ratio:635/137;" src="https://st-everywhere-cms-prod.s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/himx_sentiment_24f543abad.png" alt="himx_sentiment.png" width="635" height="137"><figcaption>HIMX sentiment and message volume December 12, 2024, as of 10:47 pm ET | Source:&nbsp;Stocktwits</figcaption></figure>On Stocktwits, sentiment toward Himax improved from ‘neutral’ a day ago to ‘extremely bullish’ (97/100), marking the highest level in over a year.
