This Is the Top Penny Stock to Buy This Week
[mmpazkzone name="in-story" network="9794" site="307044" id="137008" type="4"]Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE: AR) is a hydrocarbon exploration company based in Delaware and Colorado.
As a hydrocarbon firm, Antero is mainly involved with discovering and sourcing both natural gas and oil reserves in North America.
With the entirety of the company's reserve located in the Appalachian basin, Antero has made a significant bet on the increased domestic output of American fossil fuels.
According to a recent report form the U.S. Energy Information Administration, American oil output is expected to rise by nearly 1.5 million barrels a day over the next year.
This jump will not only push American oil production to new levels - it will also make the United States the world's largest oi producer, ahead of Russia and Saudi Arabia.
With Antero heavily invested in domestic oil discovery, the firm is sure to make a killing as global demand for oil continues to grow.
That's why analysts have given the company a high price target of $15 - a 275% gain over today's price of $4.
