One Comment on “Stock In Focus – TAM Stock Screener – Himax Technologies Inc (HIMX)”
Hello Johnny!
Great post by about HIMX. I actually own this stock. One small detail which you may want to consider. It is located in Taiwan. So if China does decide to go to war this stock does have the possibility to go to zero (similar to the Ukrainian agriculture stock during the Russian invasion being effectively ZERO!!!! ) and the subsequent US sanction imposed on China for the invasion which will in effect turn the stock into zero. So the tail risk is very very significant. FYI
