Biggest Stock Gainers Year to Date on NASDAQ<\/h4>\n

Today we are looking at companies that have had the greatest percentage increase in share price year to date.<\/p>\n

Top 25 Companies<\/h5>\n

Lists like these are always interesting to look at as they tell more than one story. Companies that are experiencing dramatic increases in share price can do so for a variety of reasons. These can include, the sector they are in has turned (such as companies in the commodities space or a new sector that has huge future potential), the company is in talks to be taken over, or the company has restructured and earnings are turning better than expected.<\/p>\n

In this list we have selected the top 25 companies based on their percentage increase in share price year to date.<\/p>\n
