Read MoreHide Full Article

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 Pioneer Natural Resources Company (PXD - Free Report) . This Oil and Gas - Exploration and Production - United Statesstock has actually seen estimates rise over the past month for the current fiscal year by about 57.6%. But that is not yet reflected in its price, as the stock gained 1.72% over the same time frame.

Pioneer Natural Resources Company Price and Consensus

You should not be concerned about the price remaining muted going forward. This year’s significant expected earnings growth over the prior year should ultimately translate into price appreciation.

And if this isn’t enough, PXD currently carries a Zacks Rank #1 (Strong Buy) which further underscores the potential for its outperformance (See the performance of Zacks' portfolios and strategies here: About Zacks Performance).
