Himax Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:HIMX) is one of the 10 Stocks With Powerful Gains.

Himax snapped a two-day losing streak on Tuesday, jumping 6.57 percent to finish at $19.29 apiece, with the rally primarily driven by the overall optimism for semiconductor players despite the absence of fresh company developments.

Optimism was further supported by Baird’s highly optimistic outlook for Himax Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:HIMX) earlier this month, having tripled its price target to $30 from $10 previously, while reaffirming a buy recommendation.
