But Money Morning Chief Research Analyst Sid Riggs has already done the legwork for you and found one of the best penny stocks to buy for one important reason - it boasts incredible long-term growth potential. That's because it has a strong presence in several billion-dollar industries, including the solar energy industry.
Although shares of this penny stock trade above the typical penny stock cutoff of $5, Riggs believes this stock is worth the extra money.
Here's one of the best stocks to buy this year...
The Best Small-Cap Stock to Buy in 2017
One of Riggs' favorite stocks to buy right now is Intevac Inc. (Nasdaq: IVAC), which has soared 33.9% to $11.44 per share this year. And Riggs sees it climbing much higher in 2017.

Although it's more than double the standard $5 maximum for penny stocks, Intevac is worth the extra $6.44. That's because it boasts a strong presence in the defense, solar energy, and digital media markets.
You see, Intevac's sensor technology is a main component in devices across all three industries. It's used in night-vision goggles used by the military and camera equipment used by filmmakers. Both industries are poised for billion-dollar growth this year, especially the defense sector if Trump follows through on his plans to increase military spending by $54 billion.
But the solar market is where the real growth is. Intevac's sensors are used in solar panel installations, which are poised to increase by 88.1% this year to 410 megawatts.
All of this will help grow Intevac's profitability - a rare thing for small-cap companies. Intevac posted earnings per share (EPS) of $0.13 on revenue of $29 million in Q4 2016. That crushed Zacks' expectations of $0.07 per share by 86%.
The Bottom Line: Although shares of IVAC stock are well above the $5 penny stock cutoff, its high price is justified. That's because the company boasts growing profitability and dominant positions in the high-growth defense, solar, and digital media markets.
