Our Top Penny Stock Is Valhi Inc.

Located in Dallas, Texas, Valhi Inc. (NYSE VHI) is an American holding company that manages market securities for a wide range of domestic industries.

Valhi manages funds for several wholly owned and majority-owned subsidiaries including companies like CompX International Inc. and Waste Control Specialist LLC.

While managing much of these firms' shares, Valhi is itself owned by the privately held Contran Corporations, which owns a majority of the company's common stock.

Valhi has seen a substantial increase in the company's gross profit over the last three years, jumping nearly 170% since 2015.

Meanwhile, Valhi currently delivers a whopping 45% return on equity, indicating that the company is using raised capital efficiently and is likely to continue to expand its gross profit for the foreseeable future.

Valhi currently trades for $2.13 a share. However, thanks to the company's efficient management of capital, analysts see the company's stock heading to $4.00 in the near future - a gain of 87%.

But with a perfect VQScore of 4, those estimates might even be too conservative.
