, and moments like that can put a premium on experts' very best ideas.
Credit Suisse's Americas team just rolled out a string of those ideas, as well as stocks to avoid, by having their analysts identify their highest-conviction names in every major market sector.
The firm's process also included comparing the analysts' earnings forecasts and target price estimates to the analyst consensus, and measured a"level of consensus bullishness" based on buy, sell, and hold ratings. They say these stocks have potential to beat the market because of that combination of strong prospects for the stocks and low expectations from Wall Street.
Of these 13"outperform"-rated stocks, Credit Suisse's price targets imply six should record gains of 20% or more in the next year, and 12 of the 13 have upside of at least 10%. All upside figures, ranked from the least to the most below, were calculated based on Thursday's closing prices.
