Motley Fool’s 10 High-Growth Stock Picks

In this article, we will discuss the Motley Fool’s 10 High-Growth Stock Picks.

The magnificent seven stocks once dominated the market. The stocks drove most of the gains and became the go-to names for investors eyeing high-growth investment opportunities. However, the cooling of artificial intelligence momentum has led to a deep pullback, with most stocks shedding more than 10% in market value from all-time highs.

The NASDAQ 100, which is home to some of the most sought-after growth stocks, is in correction mode after 10% plus pullback from all-time highs. Amid the deep pullback, Jefferies and Piper Sandler analysts insist the fundamentals are strong for a potential bounce back. According to the analysts, the high-growth stocks are laying the groundwork for their next leg higher.

The recent sell-off is largely tied to valuation concerns, as most high-growth stocks were trading above historical norms. Fast forward, and the deep corrections have made stocks attractively valued relative to their all-time highs.

According to stock market strategists at Barclays Plc, CIBC Capital Markets, and Truist Advisory Services, it’s time for investors to start looking past the near-term risks. Attractive valuations after corrections, solid profit estimates, and optimism about artificial intelligence technology support a bullish stance. Truist Advisory Services Inc. and Keith Lerner are advising investors to buy large-cap stocks, among others, while keeping some cash on the sidelines.

“If you have cash, you don’t want to necessarily just wait for the perfect opportunity because it could be something that comes from a headline that you just aren’t going to be able to react to in time,” said Lerner, the firm’s chief investment officer and chief market strategist. “There might be an opportunity to be more aggressive if we get a true flush.”

Similarly, strategists at Barclays have touted a remarkably consistent pattern of positive stock market returns after a major geopolitical crisis. For starters, the S&P 500 is up by more than 60% following the Russia-Ukraine conflict. “History is compelling,” Barclay’s strategists say.

Following the deep pull back, let’s take a look at some of Motley Fool Asset Management‘s 10 high growth stock picks likely to benefit from any bounce back in the overall market.
