5 Credit Suisse Focus List Stocks With the Most Upside

With the new quarter set to begin and the new earnings season about to kick off, many Wall Street firms covered by 24/7 Wall St. are adjusting their top stocks lists for institutional and high net worth clients. In a new research report, Credit Suisse highlighted some companies on its U.S. Focus List that stand to have the most potential price return.

These Credit Suisse picks are a great combination of value with solid growth potential. In a recovering market, all make sense for long-term growth accounts that have a degree of risk tolerance.
