TOP 5
Kaspi (KSPI)
Kaspi is basically the “super app” of Kazakhstan — think PayPal, Amazon, and WhatsApp all rolled into one.
It started as a bank but transformed into a digital giant that lets people shop, pay bills, send money, and even get loans — all from a single app.
In a country where traditional banking was clunky, Kaspi became the go-to platform for everyday life.
Its ecosystem is so dominant that nearly every Kazakh adult uses it.
Now, investors are watching closely as Kaspi tries to replicate that success across other emerging markets.
Price = $74.36
Wall Street Target = $101.50
Upside = 37%
Energy Transfer (ET)
Energy Transfer is one of America’s biggest pipeline operators — it quietly moves the oil and natural gas that power everyday life.
Founded by a former gas station owner, it grew through smart deals into a massive network spanning 120,000 miles.
While it’s not flashy like tech stocks, it’s a cash machine that earns steady fees every time energy flows through its pipes.
The company pays a hefty dividend, making it a favorite for income-focused investors.
In short, Energy Transfer keeps the U.S. energy system running — and rewards shareholders for it.
Price = $16.53
Wall Street Target = $22.90
Upside = 39%
