In this article, we will take a look at the 10 Best Affordable Growth Stocks to Buy for the Next 5 Years.
Despite a decent recovery in the last week, the broader market still hasn’t scaled the heights it was at six months ago. It seems to have entered a ‘prolonged corrective phase’, a term Katie Stockton, the founder of Fairlead Strategies and a CNBC Contributor, used during a recent interview to Schwab Network.
We feel that there is a likely sort of longer-term corrective phase in store and in general wouldn’t be too quick to add exposure.
Her opinion suggests stocks have a lot more room to go down, which is exactly the kind of environment long-term investors thrive in. Investors never want to pay too much for a stock and look for ones trading at a fair valuation. However, growth stocks are known to trade at a premium. So investors have to take a pick: either pay for a higher valuation or sacrifice on growth prospects.
Since volatility often disturbs this equilibrium, it becomes worth it to look for stocks that offer both growth and a fair valuation. The current market environment provides exactly that combination and this is why we decided to create our 10 best affordable growth stocks to buy for the next 5 years list.
Our Methodology
To come up with our list of the 10 best affordable growth stocks to buy for the next 5 years, we only looked at companies with a market cap of at least $2 billion and a forward price to earnings ratio of under 15. To cater to the companies’ growth prospects, we filtered out stocks with a 5-year revenue growth forecast of at least 15% and a 5-year EPS growth forecast of at least 15%. We limited our final selection to companies that have recently reported noteworthy developments likely to impact investor sentiment. These stocks are also popular among analysts and elite hedge funds and are listed in ascending order of the number of hedge funds holding them in their portfolio.
Why are we interested in the stocks that hedge funds pile into? The reason is simple: our research has shown that we can outperform the market by imitating the top stock picks of the best hedge funds. Our quarterly newsletter’s strategy selects 14 small-cap and large-cap stocks every quarter and has returned 498.7% since May 2014, beating its benchmark by 303 percentage points (see more details here).
