10 Top Penny Stocks to Watch This Week

Leave a reply

Last week’s best-performing penny stock was Cartesian Inc. (OTCMKTS: CRTN), a management consulting company that locked in an explosive gain of over 170%. That shows there’s still money to be made in stocks even as the market lost $768 billion last week, which is why we’re bringing you top penny stock to watch this week.

Last Wednesday (March 21), Cartesian stock rocketed a staggering 123% in the last two hours of trading. While the company said it has issued no new information that would have caused its share price to sharply rise, Cartesian is set to announce its earnings on Tuesday (March 27), a sign traders might be optimistic about earnings.

While Cartesian started the week at $0.15 and closed at $0.38, providing a total gain of 170%, that sort of unpredictability in penny stocks shows why it’s important for investors to have a leg up on their competition.

After looking at this week’s penny stock gainers, we’ll give you that leg up with one of our top-rated penny stocks from our proprietary stock ranking system…

Penny Stock Current Share Price (March 26) Last Week’s Gain

While these penny stocks provided shareholders with spectacular gains last weekend, they also illustrated the dangers involved with investing in penny stocks.

You see, if a penny stock like Cartesian Inc. can jump 170% in a few hours, it can fall to $0.00 in the same amount of time.

The risk of these kinds of losses is why we follow five rules for investing in penny stocks – take a look at our rules for investing in penny stocks on the right.

Rules for Safely Trading Penny Stocks
No more than 2% of your overall stock portfolio should consist of penny stocks.
Avoid stocks with average daily trading volume of less than 500,000 shares.
Avoid penny stocks being aggressively promoted on public discussion forums or websites not focused on investing.

Here are the top three warning signs of a shell company scam, according to the SEC and FINRA…

If a company has been dormant for many years and then brought back to life.
If a company has changed its name and, especially, business focus multiple times.
Check for massive reverse stock splits like 1-for-20,000 or 1-for-50,000.

With last week’s gains already on the books, we’re looking at the top penny stock to buy for future profit.

Determining which penny stocks will help investors limit the risk of losing their investment can be difficult. That’s why our team uses the Money Morning Stock VQScore.

Developed from our proprietary valuation system, the VQScore identifies undervalued stocks with the highest profit potential by using a blended analysis of a company’s earnings potential, growth rate, earnings-per-share acceleration, and market volume.

The VQScore system runs on a scale of 1 to 4, with 4 indicating a stock with strong earnings and growth potential.

Our top penny stock for this week has a perfect VQScore of 4 – and for good reason.

The company’s return on equity (ROE) – the amount of profit a company can provide in earnings over the amount of equity they’ve raised – is over 400% higher than its industry’s average.

Here’s our top penny stock for this week and how you can profit…

MannKind (MNKD) investors saw Afrezza script sales close out November with an expected recovery from the week prior which was a holiday week. For the week ending December 1st, total Afrezza sales were just over 470 scripts. This number is at the high end of my script projection model. Afrezza sales have spent the bulk of Q4 in the 400 to 500 range vs. the 300 to 400 range that was seen in Q3. Sales are growing in line with my projections, but well below what is needed to impress the street.

Chart Source – Spencer Osborne

The quarter-over-quarter numbers in terms of scripts are showing a Q4 improvement of 19.02% increase over Q3. This is growth, but slower growth than needed. The silver lining is that with new SKUs, each script contains more cartridges and thus more dollars. This dynamic creates a bump in the revenue line. That bump is nice to see, but will not continue to outpace the script growth percentage for very long. Once the channel is filled with the new SKUs, the revenue percentage gains will more closely mirror the percentages we see in scripts. In other words, the average revenue per script will level off in the weeks ahead.

With advertisers growing more wary of Facebook, it won’t come as a surprise ifAlphabet Inc’s (NSDQ:GOOGL)Google, with its massive reach and scale, emerges as a natural alternative for advertisers.However, a deeper look suggests that even Google might not have as much of a squeaky clean image as many believe it does.

    Apple stock is currently trading at a PE multiple of 14.09, in line with the valuation multiples of other hardware companies like HP Inc (NYSE:HPQ) and Qualcomm (NSDQ:QCOM). However, the Apple services segment is significantly different from a ‘hardware’ business, whether in terms of operations or associated cost structure. It would, therefore, be more accurate to evaluate the segment as a services business in order to gauge its ‘value.’ Two popular companies which generate a ton of services revenue are Alphabet (NSDQ:GOOGL) and Facebook (NSDQ:FB).

    Recently, both suppliers of graphics processing units (GPUs) NVIDIA Corporation (NSDQ:NVDA)and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (NSDQ:AMD)have signed new collaborations with leading cloud companies to supply their GPUs to accelerate artificial intelligence in the enterprise. NVIDIA has announced a collaboration with tech giants Microsoft Corporation (NSDQ:MSFT)and International Business Machines (NYSE:IBM), while AMD received orders from Alphabet (NSDQ:GOOGL)to supply GPUs for Google cloud platform. Investors might wonder which one of the two companies NVIDIA or AMD is going to win the GPU race to become the primary supplier for artificial intelligence uses. While right now Nvidia dominates the GPU application in AI, in my opinion, there is enough room for both companies to grow in this marker significantly. Therefore, as I see it, to take advantage of the fast-growing deep learning and artificial intelligence market, it is better to invest in shares of both companies.

Top 10 Heal Care Stocks To Buy For 2018: Transcananda Pipelines Ltd.(TRP)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew DiLallo]

    After a series of setbacks in its attempts to build new oil pipelines, Canadian pipeline giant TransCanada (NYSE:TRP) completed a transformation transaction to acquire U.S. natural gas pipeline company Columbia Pipeline Group for $13 billion, which includes the assumption of debt. The key to that deal was that it increased the combined company’s near-term project pipeline to 23 billion Canadian dollars, which supports TransCanada’s ability to increase its dividend by 8% to 10% annually through 2020. After completing that deal, TransCanada made a bid to acquire all of the outstanding units that it did not own of affiliated MLP Columbia Pipeline Partners (NYSE:CPPL) in a transaction valued at $915 million. These acquisitions solidified TransCanada’s natural gas pipeline growth ambitions, enabling it to diversify away from oil pipelines.

  • [By Paul Ausick]

    That includes pipeline companies like Kinder Morgan Inc. (NYSE: KMI), which already operates a pipeline transporting natural gas from Texas into Mexico, and master limited partnerships (MLPs) Energy Transfer Partners L.P. (NYSE: ETP) and TransCanada Corp. (NYSE: TRP), the company that has (so far) failed to get U.S. approval for its Keystone Pipeline expansion from Canada’s oil sands across the U.S. border.

    Energy stocks were driven by a hefty dose of M&A during the third quarter. And that will drive returns for TransCanada Corporation (TRP) during the next one.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    In a number of articles recently, following the US recent revival and potential approval of the previously blocked Keystone XL pipeline, a number of estimates have been provided suggesting a pending boom for the US steel industry is on the horizon (and US steel stocks have reacted in kind). In fact, this optimism, we believe, peaked today when a report from one of our competitors was published claiming that, the keystone XL pipeline could increase line pipe demand by 14.7% for 2 years. The problem here, we believe, rests with the facts that: (a) TransCanada (TRP) has already taken, and paid for, the steel to build the Keystone XL pipeline (the steel currently sits in storage facilities in both Regina, Canada and Arkansas, United States), (b) neither US Steel (X; SELL), AK Steel, Steel Dynamics, or Nucor have the ability to make the specialized steel required for the miles of pipe associated with this project, to include both the thickness and pressure requirements, according to this article from Reuters, and (c) assuming some of the pipe does need replacement, this would likely come from international steel makers who are capable of producing the specialized steel (again, as highlighted in this Reuters article).

Background:

To begin this article, let’s take a trip back to July 27th. AstraZeneca (NYSE:AZN) investors received the worst possible news with the news headline “AstraZeneca lung cancer immunotherapy trial failure sends shares plunging” effectively summing everything up. Shares absolutely were sent “plunging”, wiping off 10B pounds in value, the sharpest drop that the company has EVER had:

Was this drop a complete overreaction? Well, I’d say so. The MYSTIC trial was testing the immuno-oncology drug Imfinzi to further survival in lung-cancer patients rather than use chemotherapy. You may be wondering why one failed drug trial would hurt an established, tenured pharma giant. Sure, it makes sense when a biotech and small-cap pharma soars 20% or more on positive data readouts and approvals, and tanks 20% or more when there is a poor readout of regulatory roadblocks. Those companies generally do not have the capital to continue funding further operations, and were relying on their prospective treatment to further their tenure in the industry. So again, why would a company with a market cap of over $73B and cash & cash equivalents of over $5B drop the way it did? The answer lies in the IO market, and its sheer size. According to the Telegraph, the Immuno-Oncology market is valued at $8B today, and is expected to reach $50B later on. According to PMR’s latest report, the market size is supposed to reach around $27B by the year 2025. After taking this all into effect, it makes sense why AZN took the tumble it did. Lung cancer treatment is one of the biggest unmet needs in medicine, and the failure of Imfinzi in its largest trial absolutely crushed the prospects of the company breaking out a blockbuster, innovative drug. This created a ripple effect in the industry, with Merck shares moving higher as they solidified their position in lung cancer treatment. Bristol Meyers reacted in the negative, as they are testing the potential combination of Opdivo and Yervoy for their own IO trial study.

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Reuben Gregg Brewer]

    Making mining equipment has been a horrible business over the last few years. The industry has been hard-hit by the spending cutbacks at mine sites around the world. For example, BHP Billiton Limited trimmed its capital exploration expenditures by roughly 70% between fiscal 2013 and 2016. No wonder Caterpillar Inc. (NYSE:CAT), Komatsu Ltd. (NASDAQOTH:KMTUY), and Cummins Inc. (NYSE:CMI) have been hurting. Only that looks like it’s starting to change, which means this trio could be at the top of a list of mining equipment companies to buy in 2017.

    Ever walk past a construction site? It’s hard not to be enthralled by all the heavy construction machinery moving things around.

Top 5 Stocks To Buy For 2018

Yahoo announced last week that it would be changing its name to Altaba (upon completion of Verizon acquiring core Yahoo) seemingly to reflect the investment in Chinese giant Alibaba.

However, the name change will only take effect if and only if Verizon goes through with the planned acquisition of core Yahoo.

What would be left under the Altaba umbrella would be the company’s investments in Alibaba (15%), Yahoo Japan (35.7%), IP property, and cash and real estate holdings.

If Verizon chooses to complete the core Yahoo acqusition, Marissa Mayer will step down from the board as will co-founder David Filo.

There has been a lot of noise about the two hacks that have compromised almost 1.5 billion Yahoo user accounts but what is relatively unknown is that there is also strong chatter that Yahoo is supposedly building surveillance technology that will allow Uncle Sam and its ilk to monitor customer emails.

Top 5 Stocks To Buy For 2018: Time Warner Inc.(TWX)

Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Matthew Briar]

    The phrase “over the top television” – or its acronym “OTT” – aren’t necessarily newly-coined ones. The phrase/abbreviation materialized shortly after Netflix, Inc. (NASDAQ:NFLX) became a viable alternative to traditional cable television services less than a decade ago. The over-the-top race didn’t really heat up, however, until the past few months. Once it did heat up though, sparks started to fly in earnest.

    They’re still flying too, and will be for a while if a small startup called Viva Entertainment Group Inc (OTCMKTS:OTTV) has anything to say about it. Netflix, Hulu [jointly owned by Walt Disney Co (NYSE:DIS) and Twenty-First Century Fox Inc (NASDAQ:FOXA)] and all the rest of the relatively new players in this space may want to look over their shoulder. In the meantime, investors may want to take a step back and look at where the real money in the OTT industry is going to be made during the next 10 years. OTTV plays a prominent role in that picture.

    Contrary to popular belief, Netflix isn’t the totally dominant name it used to be in the Internet-delivered television industry. It was admittedly the first on the scene, and therefore was able to carve out the biggest piece of the market (which it still holds to this day). It’s largely become a commoditized business though.

    Case in point? Aside from Hulu and Netflix, CBS Corporation (NYSE:CBS) has jumped into the game with its product called CBS All Access. The service allows subscribers, for a nominal monthly fee, to access a variety of CBS programming via the Internet. HBO, from Time Warner Inc (NYSE:TWX), has found respectable success with its subscription-based Internet television service called HBO Go.

    Sling TV, from DISH Network Corp (NASDAQ:DISH), has really broken new ground in the over the top market by aggregating a variety of television channels into an entire package and then selling that package at a rate that’s much less than what it would cost a cable subscriber

Advisors’ Opinion:

    Sandstorm Gold (NYSEMKT:SAND) has outperformed the precious metal itself over the past year, with shares rising 35% year to date. Last month it reported third-quarter profits of $7 million, a big U-turn from 2015, when it suffered losses of $5.5 million. In fact, its entire operation was doing better with greater production: lower cash costs, but higher cash margins; and greater operating cash flows, all of which allowed it to pay down its revolving credit facility. That means it has no bank debt and its entire $110 million revolving credit facility is available to make acquisitions.

As a generation, millennials are often maligned for being bad with money and reluctant to grow up but they still probably need a will.

Along with a will, they should have beneficiary designations for any employer-sponsored retirement accounts and a power of attorney, especially for medical decisions. You cant make a decision if youre medically incapable or if youre dead, said Leslie Beck, a financial adviser at Compass Wealth Management in Rutherford, N.J. While they tend to be less common among millennials, those two situations, its not like it never happens.

    That’s why many investors shop among the short list ofDividend Aristocrats, which are companies that boast an unbroken streak of at least 25 years of consecutive payout raises. A few members of that elite group have fallen out of favor recently and could represent solid long-term buys.

    The Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) traded up 1.02% at $45.88. The stock’s 52-week range is $39.88 to $46.98. Volume was about 30% below the daily average of around 9.6 million. The soft drink maker had no specific news.

  • [By Ben Levisohn]

    Yes, Coca-Cola (KO) announced a CEO swap last week, but that has nothing to do with Morgan Stanley’s decision to cut Coca-Cola to Equal Weight from Overweight. Morgan Stanley analyst Dara Mohsenian and team explain what did:

    Getty Images

    We view Coke valuation as fair here, given topline challenges, with results limited by secular health/wellness challenges in developed markets and by weak macros in emerging markets. We also are even more cautious on large cap multinationals in general, given direct and indirect impacts from a Trump administration: 1) less favorable relative tax benefits from policy changes than domestic centric manufacturers, 2) the indirect impact of a strengthening US dollar, and 3) lower leverage to a potential US macro recovery from greater fiscal spending (which will have less impact on defensive large cap staples). Our downgrade is not related to the recent CEO change. We view James Quincey favorably, and we expect (and encourage) him to push harder on the favorable strategic changes Coke announced in October 2014.

    No matter. Shares of Coca-Cola have advanced 0.2% to $41.62 at 12:36 p.m. today.
