Sick of losing money in high tech? Jack in the Box fast food chain is steadily growing at 12-15% a year while similar chains like Wendy's, McDonalds are growing slower. But this sleeper of a stock has a much lower PE ratio (14).
Furthermore, the big chains are already saturated all over the country, while JBX is just starting to expand outside its West Coast Base. Earnings growth is accelerating from an average of 12% over the last 5 years to 16% in the current year.
JBX sells good food! Its advertising is very funny so it can penetrate new markets fast. With a more reasonable PE, and continued expansion into the Southeast, JBX could double in the next year. |
