Benchmark upgraded Diodes (NASDAQ: DIOD) to Buy. PT $32.

Benchmark analyst says, "Given the cyclical forces influencing Diodes, Inc.'s revenue and gross margin trends, we believe a contrarian investment approach is best for this particular stock. Following the company's June 9th mid-quarter update, in which the company lowered the 2Q11 gross margin outlook, shares dropped approximately 15%. Since reaching a peak in late April, shares have contracted approximately 30%. Following the recent mid-quarter update, consensus estimates have become ultra conservative in our opinion."
