One of the Top Penny Stocks to Buy Could Break Out 408%

In all the market's ebb and flow, there is always one constant: The top penny stocks to buy can make you a lot of money.

In fact, our top penny stock could return an incredible 408% for investors.

While Wall Street overreacts to the latest headlines, the up-and-down churn creates even more opportunities in penny stocks.

The United States and China enter new trade discussions next week. And while that's hopeful news, investors have been let down by U.S.-China negotiations several times this year already.

On Sept. 1, the Trump administration implemented tariffs on more than $125 billion in Chinese goods, bringing the total to $550 billion. In exchange, China has applied tariffs to roughly $185 billion in U.S. goods.

But a trade war with China wasn't the only thing hurting the market this month. Two of Saudi Arabia's largest oil refineries were attacked and destroyed by drones. And the nation appears poised for a military conflict with Iran.

How to Select the Best Penny Stocks

Typical blue-chip stocks aren't going to react well to the current market, but penny stocks love change.

Small share price swings in a penny stock can mean significant gains if you choose the right investment.

For example, shares of T2 Biosystems Inc. (NASDAQ: TTOO) recently soared 107% in one week. It was on news that the company signed a multimillion-dollar contract with another massive biomedical firm.

During that same week, YRC Worldwide Inc. (NASDAQ: YRCW) saw its shares jump close to 100% on news that it was restructuring some of its loan agreements.

These penny stocks produced market-beating gains in the midst of economic and global turmoil. They both doubled for investors.

And the best part is there are even more out there like these.

Finding them is easy thanks to our Money Morning Stock VQScore™ system. This proprietary algorithm allows us to uncover stocks with the highest earning potential. We can scan a massive list of healthy stocks and narrow them down to those trading at $5 or less per share.

Our pick this week for the best penny stock to buy is a domestic oil and gas company. It's going to profit from rising oil prices. It has the same strong financials that helped rocket T2 Biosystems to triple-digit gains.

It's trading for just under $3. Analysts say it could return as much as 408% to investors that act quickly...

Antero Resources Corp. (NYSE: AR) is a midstream independent oil and gas company based in Denver. The company explores, acquires, develops, and produces oil, natural gas, and natural gas liquid properties in the United States.

It has properties in the Marcellus Shale and the Utica Shale consisting of hundreds of thousands of net acres and hundreds of miles of pipelines. It also owns and operates multiple compressor stations.

Antero has made a significant wager on the rise in fossil fuel output domestically. This has continued to pay off. According to recent figures from the U.S. Energy Information Administration, there will be an expected increase of 1.5 million barrels daily in American oil output in the next year.

This is a catalyst that is going to push the production of U.S. oil to new levels as well as make the United States the world's top oil producer, leading both Saudi Arabia and Russia.

Antero is a high-quality company and an amazingly undervalued stock. As long as people need energy, it's going to continue making money. Consumers show no signs of cutting their BTUs anytime soon.

In its Q2 results, the company reported total operating revenue of $1.29 billion, which beat the Zacks consensus estimate of $999 million. The company's top line also improved from the prior year's results of $989 million.

The company boosted its natural gas output by 28% year over year, and its oil production soared 49% from the prior year. It also announced initiatives for 10% to 14% cost reduction by 2020.

Antero stock is currently trading at $2.95 per share. But analysts have given this a high price target of $15. This would give today's investor an incredible potential upside of 408%.
