Let’s play a game – Estimate HIMX Dividend

HIMX is a fabless semiconductor company that primarily profits from integrated circuits that drive displays and touch screens. Their revenue exploded the last two years and are now highly profitable with a very low pe below 4.5. In the past decade they have payed a one time special dividend ranging from 62.5% to 100% of yearly profits. So let’s play a game and see who can get closest by trying to estimate what HIMX will pay out. Please show your reasoning/calculation . I will post mine in a follow up comment after there are a handful of estimates so I don’t influence the reasoning. FY2021 earnings came in at $2.651 per share.

I am predicting a $1.38 dividend which is a 12.2% yield based on fridays closing price. I think this will cause a huge amount of buying pressure as 12% profit for a whole year on an investment is a great return let alone the growth of the stock price.
