Profiting from student digs
Shares in Watkin Jones (WJG:176p), a construction company specialising in purpose-built student accommodation, have now passed through my upgraded 170p target price, having risen by 21 per cent since my last buy recommendation five weeks ago ('Five small-cap buys', 29 Mar 2017). It's a business I know well, having advised buying around the 103p mark when the company joined Aim just over a year ago ('A profitable education', 3 Apr 2016).
