Should Jernigan Capital (JCAP) Be On Your Radar Now?
It commonly happens in stock investing that investors miss the chance of buying winning stocks that they knew would stand out. Before they take the plunge, others get to know the hidden potential and enter into these stocks, pushing them out of reach.
So, instead of repenting, spotting the off-the-radar potential winners and immediately investing in them could be a smart decision.
One such company that looks well positioned for a solid gain, but has been overlooked by investors lately, is Jernigan Capital, Inc. JCAP. This REIT-Mortgage Trust industry stock has actually seen a significant rise in estimates over the past month for the current fiscal year. But that is not yet reflected in its price, as the stock gained only 1.6% over the same time frame.
