On CAPS, 93% of the 370 members who have rated Pacer believe the stock will outperform the S&P 500 going forward.  

Earlier this week, one of those bulls, fellow Fool Bryan Hinmon (TMF42), tapped the stock as a long-term bargain opportunity:

Pacer has a strong enough balance sheet to see the turnaround of its logistics segment through. Management credibility with regards to the turnaround was earned by saving the company from death and rebuilding its intermodal segment. Although the near term outlook is bleak, expectations for Pacer are low and longer term business economics and growth prospects are attractive.

If you want market-thumping returns, 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 a strong four-star rating, Pacer may not be your top choice.
