11 High Growth Low/No Dividend Stocks to Buy

In this article, we will take a detailed look at the 11 High Growth Low/No Dividend Stocks to Buy. For a quick overview of such stocks, read our article 5 High Growth Low/No Dividend Stocks to Buy.

There has been a lot of talk about expected rate cuts from the Federal Reserve in 2024. While rate cuts might be coming in the second half of 2024, many analysts believe we are in for an elevated interest rate environment for several years to come. Vanguard said in its 2024 outlook report that after years of zero interest rates we are expected to see the dawn of elevated interest rates, which the firm said would be the return of “sound money.” Vanguard believes this development would bode well for the global financial markets. Vanguard said the persistence of positive real interest rates “provides a solid foundation” for long-term risk-adjusted returns. Vanguard said that this “return of sound money” would help individuals reach their financial goals and result in judicious spending and allocation of budgets.

Soft Landing Unlikely?

Vanguard also thinks the much-awaited “soft landing” is unlikely amid a decline in growth as US household savings that kept powering the resilience of the economy in 2023 are expected to run out.

“A resilient consumer and fiscal policy are behind this outperformance. A strong labour market that has averaged more than 225,000 monthly job creations in 2023 has driven above-trend growth in real incomes. This has added to household balance sheets that were already stronger because of the fiscal support received during the Covid-19 pandemic. Legislation such as the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the CHIPS Act and the Inflation Reduction Act—all enacted between November 2021 and August 2022—have further supported growth through private and public investment. Despite significant progress on inflation and strong economic growth, we believe a “soft landing”—where inflation returns sustainably to the Federal Reserve’s target absent weakness in demand—is unlikely. The last mile on the path to 2% inflation will be the most difficult. In the year ahead, we expect a combination of below-trend growth, rising unemployment and slowing wage growth. This would occur as the labour market loosens, in large part because of higher-than- expected labour supply growth. We expect the Fed to start easing policy in the second half of 2024, and we expect the policy rate to be cut below 4% by the end of 2024,” the Vanguard report added.

Double-Digit Growth in Stocks in 2024?

But how all of this would affect the stock market in the US? Many analysts are highly bullish on stocks for 2024 as they believe inflation will come down and the Fed will begin to cut rates. Fundstrat’s Tom Lee in December 2023 said while talking to a program on CNBC that he sees a 50% chance of double-digit growth in US stocks in 2024.

Tom Lee said the 2% inflation target set by the Fed was becoming very “visible.” Lee expects the S&P 500 to touch 5200 in 2024. When asked how he came up with this number, Lee said in his calculations earnings expectations hold a lot of weight in addition to PE multiples. Lee thinks a 10% growth in earnings would be easy in 2024.

Methodology

In this backdrop it would be interesting to take a look at some top profitable stocks with high growth in which smart money investors are investing. While we regularly talk about dividend stocks like International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM), The Procter & Gamble Company (NYSE:PG), and Colgate-Palmolive Company (NYSE:CL), in this article we will focus on stocks with low or no dividend yields. For this article we first used a stock screener to identify profitable stocks with dividend yields less than 0.5% and high revenue growth (over 25%). From these companies we picked 11 companies with the highest number of hedge fund investors. Hedge funds’ top 10 consensus stock picks outperformed the S&P 500 Index by more than 140 percentage points over the last 10 years (see the details here).

“Specialty insurer Kinsale Capital Group, Inc. (NYSE:KNSL) contributed to performance after reporting consensus-beating quarterly results. Gross written premiums grew 58%, and earnings per share increased 50%. Market conditions remained favorable, with rising premium rates and more business shifting from the standard lines market to the excess and surplus lines market where Kinsale operates. The company is also capitalizing on disruption in the property market, where rates are rising rapidly after years of industry losses and a reduction in reinsurance capacity. We continue to own the stock because we believe Kinsale is well managed and has a long runway for growth in an attractive segment of the insurance market.”
