Our Top Penny Stock to Buy This Week

Denbury Resources Inc. (NYSE: DNR) is a hydrocarbon exploration company based in Plano, Texas.

Denbury's real edge in a booming oil industry is the method it uses to extract oil. The company uses a cutting-edge process known as enhanced oil recovery.

This process uses carbon dioxide to reactivate old wells and extract oil that could not previously be recovered.

Being able to take advantage of pre-drilled wells allows Denbury to eliminate the heavy costs that come with setting up a new drilling site. And those savings can be passed on to shareholders.

Denbury currently operates in the Gulf Coast and Rocky Mountain areas. In fact, the company's largest property, spanning across Montana and North Dakota, was responsible for 25% of the region's daily production in 2018.

These levels of production are certainly showing up in the company's bottom line.

Over the last four years, the company has boosted its gross profits by 38%. Meanwhile, Denbury has been able to beat earnings for four consecutive quarters due to strong demand and growth.

Today, Denbury trades for $1.51 share. However, analysts believe the company could jump to $4.60 a share as global oil demand continues to rise. That's a staggering gain of 204%.
