For many investors, finding the best stocks to buy might be difficult.
They turn to expensive financial periodicals or lack the capital required to get insight from the top Wall Street money managers.
But every week, Money Morning readers turn to our updated VQScore™ system for a brand-new top 25 list of the best investments on the market today… and it’s totally free.
See, we developed the VQScore with the average retail investor in mind.
This system ranks 1,500 of the world’s most profitable companies on a scale from 1 to 4 based on a proprietary algorithm developed by some of the world’s top data scientists.
Within the last 12 months, the VQScore has identified breakout returns for investors – like 29% on RH, 45% on RACE, and even 80% on VSLR.
But in all the time that we’ve run this service, a stock that we never thought would fall on our list a few years ago just achieved a “Strong Buy” rating. What a difference a few years can make…
The firm finally turned an annual profit for the first time in its history in 2018. It made over $1.2 billion, and we think profits can double in 2019 thanks to its new advertising strategy…
Right now, its 4.75 VQScore signals that investors are about to catch a massive windfall soon.
Next, we’ll reveal the pick and where its stock price will go from here…
Three Reasons This Social Media Stock to Buy Will Surge 64%
At first, we were surprised to see social media giant Twitter Inc. (NYSE: TWTR) become a top 5 pick on the VQScore system.
But after digging under the hood on the social media firm’s business, it’s difficult to disagree with the company’s upside, for three reasons:
First, the company has experienced a strong improvement in its daily user engagement. More users are taking to Twitter on a daily basis to discuss social, political, and other matters. The firm recently increased its daily active users by 10% on a quarterly basis.
Wall Street analysts view this uptick in daily use as a reason for advertisers to increase budgets for advertising and to engage users. An uptick in direct-response advertising would further increase revenue for the firm in the future.
And that’s just at current levels. We have seen a handful of Wall Street analysts grow increasingly bullish that Twitter will be able to expand its monthly active users from its current 320 million users up to 500 million and beyond – and perhaps expand its daily active users by 20% quarterly.
Second, other major social media and tech companies are facing increasing antitrust pressure from regulators.
Competitors like Facebook Inc. (NASDAQ: FB), Alphabet Inc. Class A (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Amazon.com Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) are currently dealing with scrutiny from both Republicans and Democrats.
However, Twitter remains a formidable platform for political campaigning, political shaming, and political recruitment.
And with campaign advertising spending expected to hit new records in the 2020 cycle – particularly when targeting younger voters – Twitter can anticipate a boon in revenue.
This additional advertising revenue could easily lead to a doubling of net income by the end of the campaign.
Finally – and most importantly – Twitter has a top VQScore of 4.75, signaling that the stock is poised for a major breakout in the second half of 2019.
You see, the VQScore system has repeatedly identified triple-digit winners for our readers – like 110% on K12 Inc. (NYSE: LRN) last year.
Although we initially thought that Twitter would never find its way onto the list because it wasn’t profitable for so long, all of the right factors are lining up for its stock to take off in the second half of 2019 and through the end of the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
A realistic price target of $60 per share would provide current investors with a windfall of 64% gains in the months ahead.
