Top 5 New Companies To Invest In Right Now

Last week I told you about four biotech stocks that analysts thought would triple.  Today, I want to tell you about five technology stocks that can double from here, for the same reasons.

If you want to find yourself on the right side of big winners, if you want to own the stocks that show up on the news at night after doubling or tripling on the day, you need to focus on this risk/reward relationship in your stock selection.

These are stocks that have consensus analyst price targets well above their current share price that have strong sentiment and Wall Street sponsorship. That formula can prove to uncover deep value investment opportunities. In using this screen, we also have the potential to ��ack into��finding the presence of an influential investor involved in the stock.  That�� a huge bonus.

Now, given the backdrop I��e described, the following five stocks have recently hit our radar as high potential, deep value candidates. These stocks have an average analyst price target that is at least 100% higher than their current share price.

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Anders Bylund]

  On the sunny side of the Street
  California-based solar power expert SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR  ) delivered a triple to shareholders on the back of two important factors. For one, SunPower's solar cells deliver the highest efficiency in the solar industry. That's becoming a huge competitive advantage as eco-conscious customers search high and low for the most efficient panels.

• [By Travis Hoium]

  SunPower (NASDAQ: SPWR  ) made a similar move in late May when it offered $300 million of convertible notes, due 2018. The notes carry a low interest rate of 0.75%, but can be converted into shares of SunPower stock at $24.95 per share if shares trade above that level by then. So, this wasn't a full-share sale like First Solar's announcement, but it's dilutive nonetheless.�

Advisors' Opinion:

• [By Dan Caplinger]

  Beyond the Dow, home-solar installation specialist SolarCity (NASDAQ: SCTY  ) fell 3% after having been down as much as 14% near the open. The company suffered from an analyst downgrade that focused largely on near-term pressures to the solar installation business. Yet, the stock likely cut its losses due to the favorable long-term opinion from the analyst. Given that the industry has been moving toward an edge-power focus, SolarCity's business model remains an attractive way to play solar energy.
