The Best Penny Stock to Buy This Week Could Jump 372%

[mmpazkzone name="in-story" network="9794" site="307044" id="137008" type="4"]

Laredo Petroleum Inc. (NYSE: LPI) is a natural gas and petroleum production firm based in Tulsa, Okla.

Founded in 2006, Laredo currently manages reserves in Texas' Permian Basin equaling 215 million barrels of oil, 62% of which is natural gas.

Unlike most drilling firms, Laredo uses a drilling method known as the mechanical earth model, which uses data analysis of the earth's geological makeup to identify the best drilling locations.

According to Laredo, this method dramatically increases the efficiency of the company's drilling operations, saving energy and cutting costs.

This is certainly evident in the company's bottom line.

Laredo currently maintains a staggering 85% return on equity - that's 83% higher than the industry average of 1.97.

In addition, Laredo has increased its gross profit by a robust 81%.

And it doesn't look like this growth is going to slow down anytime soon. According to analysts, Laredo's share price is likely to jump to $14.

That's a 372% increase over Laredo's current share price of $2.96 - a massive gain for shareholders.

Stocks with the potential to triple your money don't come along every day, but with the right research, you can find these gems.
