5 Stocks Poised to Shine This Summer

The maker of Monster energy drink has been one of the best-performing stocks of the last decade and now it looks set to have a monster summer, too. "They're taking market share in the one category in the beverage space that is actually still growing -- energy drinks," says Damian Witkowski, an analyst with Gabelli & Co., who rates shares at Buy. Hansen (HANS) is rolling out two new products -- Hammer X-Presso Monster and Monster Import -- just in time for the all-important summer beverage season. Moreover, the company is expanding in international markets and raw material costs are coming down, "which should be a nice tailwind for them over the next year," Witkowski says. Shares are trading at a deep discount to their own five-year average on a forward earnings basis, according to Thomson Reuters.
