4 Stocks with INSANE Growth

Growth is in demand. This demand has increased due to the coronavirus which has reduced the number of growth opportunities. Growth stocks tend to outperform as long as they can maintain their trajectories, so any stock market weakness could be a chance to add exposure. SHOP, ZM, SE, and TWLO are four that investors should consider.

In a low growth world with abundant liquidity, it’s not surprising that growth opportunities are priced at a premium. This was the case from 2009 to 2020 before the coronavirus, but it’s even more true in this era.

Now, there’s less growth and more liquidity. As a result, high-growth stocks are outperforming even more. Not to mention that many of these companies have benefitted from the changes in the economy. Two of the fastest-growing sectors are e-commerce and cloud computing.

The global e-commerce market alone is expected to witness a CAGR of 14.7% between 2020 to 2027. Similarly, the cloud computing market may witness a CAGR of 17.5% between 2020 to 2025.
