Eleven Stocks Expected to Rise by 50% to 100% — or More

By 24/7 Wall St.

Filed under: ,

Investors are always looking for new ideas. Now that the Dow Jones Industrial Average is trying to hit new highs and investors are pouring record inflows of capital into stocks, investors should remember that stocks basically have doubled from their lows in the recession. Analysts on Wall St. make routine calls that are the equivalent of Buy, Sell or Hold. Some of the calls come with great risk, and some come with great rewards to those analysts who are insightful enough to make strong calls that come true.

24/7 Wall St. has gone through a recent batch of analyst calls looking for those stocks that imply upside of 50% or more. We compiled a list of recent calls and recent developments where analysts expect certain stocks to rise by about 50% or much more. In this analysis we have shown the calls and compared them to consensus price targets from Thomson Reuters‘ pool of analysts. We have also added color on these if applicable.

The list of potential 50% upside stocks includes the following companies: Apple Inc. (NASDAQ: AAPL), Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX), Forestar Group Inc. (NYSE: FOR), GNC Holdings Inc. (NYSE: GNC), Nanosphere Inc. (NASDAQ: NSPH), Nokia Corp. (NYSE: NOK), Oncolytics Biotech Inc. (NASDAQ: ONCY), Peabody Energy Corp. (NYSE: BTU), Penn Virginia Corp. (NYSE: PVA), Sequenom Inc. (NASDAQ: SQNM) and VIVUS Inc. (NASDAQ: VVUS).

It was just back on January 4, 2013, when the year was getting underway that we covered 12 other stocks that analysts expected would rise 50% to 100%, or even more. None of these stocks overlap due to 60 days having passed. More of those stocks are up than down, but we would show the risk versus reward here. One is up 62% and one is up 85% since that first list, but one stock is down 68% since then.

Investors always look for stocks to buy that can bring rewards. We would point out that most of these companies are not exactly considered your stable blue chip stocks you might find in the Dow Jones Industrial Average. Another observation is that most do not pay dividends.

Major Gold Miners Strike New 52-Week Lows (GDX, NEM, AU, ABX, GG)

By 24/7 Wall St.

Filed under:

This will not sound nice, but it isn’t meant to: It really sucks to be a gold miner right now.

Gold prices have lost the wind at their back, gold production prices are higher and demand for the shiny yellow metal is not being juiced up by industries and consumers. Labor issues in many parts of the developing world have also turned what had been a risk into an actual higher cost event. We recently gave an update with a muted outlook after taking World Gold Council data into consideration.

To show just how bad thing shave been: the Market Vectors Gold Miners ETF (NYSEMKT: GDX) hit a new 52-week low of $36.47 on Monday against a prior 52-week range of $37.02 to $55.25. But wait, it gets worse. The ETF tracks the NYSE Arca Gold Miners Index. This index appears to be at a three-year low.

Here is what we are seeing in other gold majors:

Newmont Mining Corp. (NYSE: NEM) is down 1.6% at $38.95, under the prior low of the past year as the 52-week range is $39.56 to $59.03, and it is now under $20 billion in market cap. This is the lowest price back to August of 2009, if you do not pay attention to dividends.

AngloGold Ashanti Ltd. (NYSE: AU) is at $23.77, versus a prior 52-week range of $23.88 to $41.20. This is the lowest going back to February of 2009.

Barrick Gold Corp. (NYSE: ABX) is at a new 52-week low of $28.89, versus a prior 52-week range of $29.33 to $47.24. This $29 billion value compares to a low back in December of 2008 if you do not count dividend payments.

Goldcorp Inc. (NYSE: GG) is still worth $26 billion, and at $32.05 after a 1.5% drop, it still has 2% to go before hitting a new 52-week low.

What is interesting is that gold itself is at $1,574 per ounce. That is still more than $30 above the 52-week low from May of 2012. The World Gold Council noted that gold was up about 8% in dollar terms in 2012, and that was the 12th consecutive annual gain.
