While most investors content themselves with chasing the reliable returns from the S&P 500, a cohort seeks to outdo the historical 10% annual average returns of this benchmark index. Enter a trio of stocks poised to sprint ahead, achieving the feat of doubling an investor’s capital at a pace that would leave the S&P 500 in its dust.
These stocks not only promise growth above 10% in the upcoming year but also offer stability akin to a fortress, avoiding the volatile nature of penny stocks that can flounder swiftly and shatter portfolios.
How expeditiously could an investor witness their investment double in value? The stately S&P typically takes 6 to 7 years to achieve this feat with its steady 10% return. In contrast, the stocks under discussion today should perform this financial magic in half the time.
Decoding Seadrill Limited (SDRL)
Seadrill Limited (NYSE:SDRL), a veteran offshore drilling contractor, eyes a robust growth of 25% this year. Such momentum could see its stock doubling 2.5 times faster than a conventional S&P 500 investment.

Additionally, armed with a $2.9 billion backlog and initiating its inaugural stock buyback program in late 2023, Seadrill Limited positions itself as a ship sailing towards a horizon of untapped potential.
