Northland analyst Tom Sepenzis lowered Himax forward estimates due to delays in augmented realty platforms that are taking longer to develop and concerns the large panel demand will weaken in 2017 as panel manufacturers have been switching to gate-on-array or gate-in-panel architectures over the past several months. Sepenzis expects augmented reality revenue to drop in Q4 and the first two quarters of CY17 and can be exacerbated as additional competition in large panel business as gate drivers are displaced in GoA & GiP architectures. The analyst maintains an Outperform rating and $12 price target on shares given expectations for the second major augmented realty device expected in 2H 2017.
