These 3 "Perfect 10" Stocks Are Well-Positioned to Trend Higher, Say Analysts |
| Investors are facing a dilemma. Markets are up; both the S& 500 and the NASDAQ indexes are at record high levels, having fully rebounded from the crash in March. On the face of it, this would seem to be a perfect time to buy, to get into the markets on an upward slope. But some Wall Street pros approach the rally with caution. After all, the COVID-19 pandemic has not faded, and narrowing polls show that the upcoming November elections are up for grabs.
In this situation, investors want some assurance that a stock is upwardly mobile, and primed for growth. The markets generate an array of data, whose patterns of shift and change carry the answers that investors want – but making sense of that forest of data can be daunting. To find a path through it, investors can look up a stock's Smart Score.
The Smart Score is a data analysis tool, which uses the real-time information collected in the database. The stock data is collated according to 6 separate factors, each of which is known to predict growth and share appreciation. The factors are averaged together, and given as a single-digit score, on a scale from 1 to 10, letting investors know at a glance the likely way forward for a stock.
And a perfect Smart Score, a 10, is a signal that investors should pay attention to. Here are the details on three such stocks, along with corroborative commentary from Wall Street's analysts.

Quotient Technology (QUOT) |
| We'll start in digital tech. Quotient Technology offers marketing solutions for e-commerce, creating digital coupons personalized by the use of deep data dives – online shopping histories, purchasing behaviors, and website visitations. The company's ads and coupons are closely targeted to consumers.
The first half of 2020, containing the height of the coronavirus crisis, was hard on Quotient. End-use consumers, pushed out of work and forced to stay home, found themselves altering their purchasing habits. The company, which, like many tech operators, sees a net loss each quarter, saw that loss deepen in Q1 and again in Q2.
Quotient has a perfect '10' Smart Score despite its contracting financials. Craig-Hallum's Chad Bennett sees COVID-19 as helping to clear a way forward for the company.
"The pandemic is aggressively accelerating the adoption of grocery/CPG innovations (e-commerce, digital, etc.), that in turn will result in demand for QUOT's solutions. We believe that the signing of Rite Aid and Hyvee (with more to come) as Retailer iQ and Performance Media partners is evidence of this claim. We have long praised QUOT's solutions and the value they deliver to its partners… It is our belief that the pandemic will spur a secular shift, which QUOT will greatly benefit from," Bennett explained.
Therefore, Bennett rates QUOT shares a Buy, and his $14 price target indicates a 60% upside potential for the year ahead.
Overall, the analyst consensus rating on QUOT is a Moderate Buy, based on 4 reviews. These include 2 Buys, 1 Hold, and 1 Sell. Shares are selling for $8.76 and the average price target of $10.65 suggests they have room for 21.5% growth from that level. ( See QUOT stock analysis)

Renewable Energy Group (REGI) |
| Next up is Renewable Energy Group, an Iowa-based biodiesel company. Biodiesel is a cleaner burning variant of diesel fuel, derived from agricultural sources. REGI develops, manufactures, and distributes a range of biodiesel and other renewable clean fuels, with operations across 48 states – and in Germany. REGI is the largest biodiesel producer, going by volume produced, in the US.
The company finished Q2 with $546 million in revenues, beating the forecast by 8.5%. The higher sales figure reflects strong demand – and indicates that there is a market for the company's product.
Writing for H.C. Wainwright, 5-star analyst Amit Dayal is impressed by REGI's market position, saying, "We believe the company remains undervalued relative to the growth and business fundamentals it offers." Getting into the details, Dayal adds, "We believe that: (1) the recent stability in the energy markets; (2) the pace of economic recovery taking place; and (3) the growing consumer interest in cleaner fuels, support our view for an improved demand environment for biodiesel and renewable diesel, as inventory drawdowns support suppliers."
To this end, Dayal rates this stock a Buy. In a show of confidence, he puts his price target at $70, suggesting a robust growth potential of 85%.
Renewable Energy has a unanimous Strong Buy analyst consensus rating, based on 4 Buys set in recent weeks. The average price target is $55, and implies a 45% upside potential from the $37.90 current share price. (See REGI stock analysis)
