Over the last few weeks, our list of the top penny stocks to watch has featured stocks with 100% gains in just a matter of days.
But this week, our top penny stock to watch skyrocketed nearly 300% over the week.
This surging penny stock is a little-known consumer goods company called New Age Beverage Corp. (NASDAQ: NBEV).
On Sept. 18, New Age stock soared 103% on reports that Coca-Cola Co. (NYSE: KO) is considering a takeover bid for the company.
New Age continued to rally for the rest of the week, closing on Friday at a price of $6.15 – a 286% gain over Monday's opening price.

But after New Age's explosive run last week, there may be little upside left.
