Himax Technologies is a holding company. Through its subsidiaries, Co. is a fabless semiconductor solution provider focused on display imaging processing technologies. Co. has two operating segments: Driver integrated circuit, which is engaged in the design, research, development and sale of displays driver for large-sized thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) panels and displays driver for small and medium-sized TFT-LCD panels; and Non-driver Products, which is engaged in the design, research, manufacturing and sale of non-driver products, such as timing controllers, liquid crystal on silicon, complementary metal oxide semiconductor image sensors and wafer level optics. We show 1 historical shares outstanding datapoints in our HIMX shares outstanding history coverage, used to compute HIMX market cap on those dates.
Understanding the changing numbers of shares outstanding, the changing
share price, and the resulting changing HIMX market cap history over the course of time is important for investors
interested in comparing HIMX's market cap history versus its peers.
Many "beginner" or "novice" investors will look at one stock trading at a price of $10 per share and another trading at
a price of $20 per share and think the latter company is worth twice as much. Of course, that is a completely meaningless comparison without also knowing how many shares outstanding there are for each of the two companies,
and then calculating their respective market caps. Comparing the share price of HIMX versus a peer is one thing; comparing
HIMX market cap versus a peer is a completely different story.
Furthermore, via fluctuation both in per-share price and in the number of shares outstanding (via issuance of new shares over time, the repurchase of existing shares),
the market cap for a company like HIMX can fluctuate over the course of history.
