Introduction
Yes, I know that saying we have 3 stocks to double this year is a fairly bold claim.
That’s because these kinds of exceptional stocks don’t grow on trees.
Yet as you read on below there is some sound logic behind our claim that greatly increases the odds of owning stocks with big upside potential.
This is really a 2 step dance.
First, is using our proven AI driven quant model, the Zen Ratings, to have a daily review of stocks based on 115 different factors. Everything from growth to value to momentum and more.
In the past this model has pinpointed 407 stocks that have doubled. So this makes for a great starting point for our exploration. (Learn all about the Zen Ratings here).
Second, is having a seasoned investor with a proven track record of success hand-select the very best ones given current market conditions.
That is where I come in to play with my 45 years of investing experience.
Over those years I have seen 8 bull markets…7 bears…and just about everything between. This gives me ample perspective to pick the best stocks for any market environment.
With this background in place you can better appreciate why the 3 stocks shared in the following pages are truly special.
Wishing you a world of investment success!

Stock #1: Riskified (RSKD)
Riskified caught my eye after being in a few different YouTube videos including a recent one about 5 Penny Stocks (start 11 minutes into video).
The point is that most low priced stocks are junk. But the Zen Ratings does a great job of sifting through that rubble to find real companies with real profits and real upside potential.
Riskified fits the bill.
They are using AI to guarantee online transactions. Meaning that when someone orders online the company has a split second to analyze and either approve or state its fraud.
If they approve…and later turns out to be fraud…then Riskified eats the cost.
That’s a VERY appealing offer to online retailers and gives them tremendous growth potential as more companies use their services.
Here is the best part of the story. This is only a $750 million market cap company. And yet they have committed over $350 million to a share price buy back.
Think about that for a second.
This is like the insiders buying back half the company. If that does not scream confidence in the growth and value proposition of the company...then I don’t know what does.
Of course this is an A rated stock but the real strength is the top 3% showing for Growth which points to likely more earnings beats down the road.
Plus top 2% for AI Factors. This is not about how much AI they are involved with. Rather it is our usage of AI to find patterns in stocks that often point to future outperformance. So top 2% in this category could make RSKD a very timely pick.
Shares trade for around $6…but easily worth $12 to $15 as the world wakes up to the growth and value story. Hopefully you are now awake as well and ready to consider if this stock has a spot in your portfolio.
Stock #2: Betterware de Mexico (BWMX)
Betterware is currently the 13th highest ranked stock in the Zen Ratings universe out of nearly 4,600. Has a forward PE of 7 and pays a 6.7% dividend yield.
Maybe I should end the conversation there as any believer in the Zen Ratings should already be excited. But let’s spell out the rest of the story just for good measure.
This essentially is a modern “Tupperware” company that is mostly focused on the Mexican market. Yet given recent strategic acquisitions they are expanding into Brazil, and then perhaps other parts of Latin America.
So when I say “tupperware company”, yes I mean that they have an army of independent distributors who have sales parties in their houses just like the Tupperware sales approach of the past.
We may scoff at that here in the states, but it is a preferred method of selling household products in other parts of the world like Mexico which helps explain their tremendous growth in recent years. And 28% expected earnings growth going into next year.
Here is a bonus that makes it a much more timely investment…and that is the dual catalyst that comes from the peace deal with Iran.
Lower energy prices lowers the cost of their products which are made of plastic (where oil is a main ingredient).
And lower energy prices keeps more money in the pockets of their customers and thus more willing to buy their products.
As noted above, the Zen Ratings is already picking up on their fundamental prowess as the 13th highest rated stock overall. Here is the breakdown.
Top 21% Safety
Top 9% Value & Financials
Top 8% AI Factor (pointing to the most timely shares)
Top 5% Growth
This is strong across the board leading to it being the 13th highest ranked stock in the Zen Ratings universe.
Wall Street analysts are digging this one as well with the average fair value forecast calling for 71% more upside in the year ahead. Yet if their Brazilian expansion goes well, then a 100% gain is not out of the question.
All the while we can cash those fat dividend checks to pad our final results. Hopefully you see how Betterware deserves a spot in your stock cupboard.
Stock #3: Bioventus (BVS)
Let’s start with the best part…Bioventus was recently the #1 ranked stock in the entire Zen Ratings system.
Not top 1%.
Stock #1 (period).
I have featured this thriving medical device company a few times on my YouTube videos including about 10 minutes into this recent video.
Plus it is one of the top 7 stocks in the coveted Small Cap portfolio inside Zen Strategies.
Basically, we have a massive demographic tailwind for the entire medical field in the aging of the population which thus requires more healthcare. That is perfect for a company focused on bones and joints that unfortunately do fail more as we age.
This provides ample growth runway for the firm. And their excellent fundamentals do the rest of the good work to make it a stellar investment:
Top 7% Financials
Top 6% Safety
Top 4% Value
Top 1% Growth
Top 1% Sentiment
That is about as appealing as it gets which leads to some Wall Street analysts to be fans of shares as well with fair value targets around $18 for the year ahead. That’s not bad upside from current levels.
But I suspect they have the makeup of a firm that could double in price by the end of 2027 as long as they deliver on their growth expectations. Their top scores for Financials and Growth improve the odds of that happening, so let’s bag our shares now.
