-
BUD
Anheuser Busch Co - $68.58
- 0.00%
- $68.90
InBev may have to pay as much as $70 a share for Anheuser-Busch. SABMiller could make a run at Femsa, worth about $80.

-
FMX
Fomento Economico - $31.80
- +0.25%
- $32.41
London-based SABMiller (SAB.UK) could be a winner if a distracted Anheuser allows MillerCoors, a joint venture of Miller and Molson Coors (TAP), to make inroads in the U.S. Fomento Economico Mexicano (FMX) could be the next merger target and fetch as much as 80 a share, almost double its current price of 42 per American depositary receipt.

-
RCNI
Rcn Corp. - $5.49
- -8.50%
- $6.07
RCN's stock, which is now trading at less than half its May 2007 high, could rise more than 50% over the next year, and perhaps double in a takeover scenerio.

Onyx Pharmaceutic - $36.50
- +5.86%

With sales of Nexavar expected to hit $1 billion next year, one health-care investor looks for earnings of $1.93 a share, pegging the stock as worth $65-$70 a share.

Htc Corporation T - $347.00
- +2.06%
- $346.00
High Tech Computer's (2498.TW) valuation is a fraction of Apple's, but its 3G phone is at least as good as the iPhone. One bullish estimate puts HTC's stock upside above 70% in the next year.

So what companies have been added of late? Southwestern Energy (SWN), Cameron International (CAM) and Range Resources (RRC), among others. And what's out?
