Better Buy: Himax Technologies, Inc. vs. NVIDIA
Investors looking to profit in the semiconductor space have certainly been in the right place recently. The sector has been on fire and has risen over 53% in the last year, as tracked by the PHLX Semiconductor Index, which follows the top stocks in the industry.
Those returns have not been evenly distributed, however. Himax Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: HIMX), whose semiconductors control everything from LCD TVs to touch sensors, has seen its price fall by 7% in the past year. During that same time, graphics processing pioneer NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ: NVDA) is up a stunning 214% because of gains in its core gaming market and advances in artificial intelligence (AI).
Returns alone shouldn't be used to judge the potential of any investment, as past performance doesn't guarantee future returns. Let's review a number of key financial metrics to determine which stock is a better place for new money right now.
