On CAPS, 96% of the 54 members who have rated C&J Energy believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.
Just last month, one of those Fools, All-Star IBDvalueinvestin, nicely summed up the bull case:
C&J Energy Services is one of these type of stocks "Growth Value", it IPO'd in July but has received little fanfare unlike the social media IPO'S of the recent past. ...
Full year estimates for C&J are now at $3.19 eps for 2011 & $4.25 eps for 2012, but with the way C&J grew earnings in 2011 over 2010, one has to wonder if $4.25 eps is too conservative for FY 2012 . So in my finishing remarks, while it may be more exciting to buy shares of companies that everyone else is buying, it is a lot more profitable to buy stocks under the radar trading at a bargain and then wait for the masses to find it once it goes up consistently as more and more investors discover it.
If you want to retire rich, you need to put together the best portfolio you can. Owning exceptional stocks is a surefire way to secure your financial future. Of course, despite its four-star rating, C&J may not be your top choice.
