For now the partial deal with China has seemed to put a floor in on stock prices with a touch more upside potential. With that I want to get outside our protective turtle shell of finding more conservative stocks as listed in these recent articles:

7 Safest Stocks for this Volatile Market

Sure there is still a place for these conservative stocks in one’s portfolio. However, now is the time we can start considering more exciting stocks…with more upside potential. The kind of stocks to get your heart racing like the Newmark Group (NMRK) where shares are trading for about $9 when Wall Street analysts are pounding the table its worth $14.50.

And here’s the funny thing. Newmark actually has one of the smallest upsides of any of the 9 stocks on this exciting list. Sitting atop is a company with the potential to rally 194% to reach its fair value target.

Got your attention?

Yeah…I thought so.

Let’s pull back a notch to appreciate the in-depth research process I went through to narrow down to these stocks.

• 8,000+ US based stocks to start with.
• 1,661 with POWR Rating of A or B. As you likely know by now, this is our proprietary rating system that is built on top of 4 different scores of a stocks attractiveness. When rolled together it points to stocks experiencing the most healthy momentum at this time and thus likely to stay on the rise.
• 132 stocks with a price of $10 or less. Like I said it was time to get some excitement happening in our portfolios. Sure these are more speculative stocks, but I mitigate that risk by the employing other criteria to increase the odds of success. POWR Ratings is one such factor. But also the next 2 parameters are vital health checks on these stocks.
• 103 stocks with a price target placed on them by Wall Street analysts. Meaning that 29 of them were not followed by the street. Without that important fact checking process in place, I’d rather pass on those stocks.
• 48 stocks with consensus earnings estimates flat to higher for this year and next. This is an important fundamental health check coming into Q3 earnings season. That’s because if estimates were heading lower…likely that negative trend would continue with much greater odds of that stock falling further in price.
• 9 Stocks with 50% or more upside to fair value targets set by Wall Street analysts.

When you add it altogether we are talking about 9 stocks that blend healthy earnings growth + momentum + extreme value. Check them out below.
