2011 is all but gone and research firms are handing out their top picks for 2012. We have been reviewing some of the “Small Cap Stocking Stuffers” from the top small cap ideas for 2012 generated by Credit Suisse and it turns out that some of the stock picks are expected to have upside of 50% or more in the year ahead. The $1.0 to $2.5 billion in market capitalization is called the Small Cap Sweet Spot by Credit Su
isse, and the firm’s Favorite Ideas list in this value range features the following: Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN), Western Refining Inc. (NYSE: WNR), Apollo Global Management, LLC (NYSE: APO), Synovus Financial Corporation (NYSE: SNV), and MasTec Inc. (NYSE: MTZ).

Other new additions to this were made but the rest did not have an implied 50% upside. We have offered details on each.

Tenneco Inc. (NYSE: TEN) is in the auto components sector and sports a $1.8 billion market capitalization rate. The stock trades at $29.97 and the firm’s price target is $53.00 as a growth pick, well above the Thomson Reuters consensus price target of $45.10. This gives implied upside of over 70%, but keep in mind that the firm added it to the Top Picks list in June when shares were around $37.50.
