Cargojet is a time-sensitive overnight air cargo services provider that has a monopoly in Canada and is poised to continue benefiting from the e-commerce trend. Additionally, its commitment to on-time reliable and safe delivery and aim to exceed customer expectations make it the go-to name for overnight air cargo services.

After a meaningful correction of as much as 36%, the TSX growth stock has been grinding steadily higher. Currently, at about $185 per share at writing, it trades at a compelling valuation with no downside risk. Specifically, the most bearish analyst thinks CJT stock is undervalued by 16%.
Cargojet stock’s 0.56% yield is a bonus and actually quite attractive compared to some “high”-interest savings accounts, given that it also provides strong price-appreciation potential.
According to the analyst consensus price target, the growth stock is attractive with a 28% margin of safety and 40% upside potential over the next 12 months! Cargojet’s international expansion plans could set the growth stock soaring!
