PhenixFIN Corp (PFX) is a good buy right now due to its recent positive earnings surprise of 129.79% and a strong 5-day price increase of 11.24%. The current price is $43.49, which is well below its 52-week high of $56.48, suggesting room for growth. However, the main risk is its forward P/E ratio of 17.33, which indicates potential overvaluation if earnings do not meet expectations.
