This a truly unique list of stocks. That’s because each has at least 100% upside potential to the average target price set by Wall Street Analysts.
What needs to be pointed out is that most analysts are not big time risk takers. It is often better to keep a low profile than make outrageous predictions that don’t come true. That’s a path towards getting fired.
This “take it safe” attitude certainly comes into play when we are talking about target prices. The vast majority of the time they are only 10-20% above current levels. That is true even if they think the stock has more upside potential. Their game plan will be to just raise the target as the stock approaches their original target.
So what would cause an analyst to have a target price that is a full 100% higher?
The obvious answer is that they are BEYOND convinced that the stock is undervalued and has incredibly high odds of ascending to these levels. And in this case, we are not talking about 1 analyst going out on a limb…but the average of all analysts following the stock.
Yes, it is fair to say the more analysts, the merrier!
Note that this stock search started with over 8,000 stocks to screen from. From there we only applied 2 parameters that quickly boiled things down to these 12 extraordinary stocks.
- POWR Rating of A or B
- 100% or more upside to average target price from Wall Street analysts.
Yes, all the stocks are small caps. And yes, they are all under $10. But still the fact remains that they are loaded with positive qualities that greatly increase their odds of outperformance.
The one last thing about this list. These are SPECULATIVE stocks.
Do not own too many of them…and don’t put too much in any singular pick unless you can stomach the risk that comes along from super volatile small cap stocks. But if you play your cards right, few stocks will have as explosive of upside potential. Long story short, be sure to balance out the risk and reward.
