Simply put, you need to be a contrarian.

With the Dow back above 26,000, several sectors have remained undervalued compared to the rest of the market.

To find which stocks are cheap and provide the highest upside, we use the Money Morning VQScore.

We track the 1,500 most profitable companies on the market and assign each one a VQScore. To get the score, we use only the key factors that find stocks ready to outperform "average" returns. A VQScore of 4 or higher puts a stock in the "Buy Zone."

These are the stocks priced to make you money right now.

Remember, however, that this is a quantitative approach to investing. You need to suspend your bias against some of these companies. Some firms are from different sectors that investors have overlooked or avoided. Some are tied to lower energy prices or a tepid housing market. All that matters is the VQScore.
