2 Growth Stocks with Explosive Upside and 1 We Brush Off

INTU Cover Image

Growth is a hallmark of all great companies, but the laws of gravity eventually take hold. Those who rode the COVID boom and ensuing tech selloff in 2022 will surely remember that the market’s punishment can be swift and severe when trajectories fall.

Luckily for you, our job at StockStory is to help you avoid short-term fads by pointing you toward high-quality businesses that can generate sustainable long-term growth. Keeping that in mind, here are two growth stocks where the best is yet to come and one that could be down big.

One Growth Stock to Sell:

Tutor Perini (TPC)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +19.2%

Known for constructing the Philadelphia Eagles’ Stadium, Tutor Perini (NYSE: TPC) is a civil and building construction company offering diversified general contracting and design-build services.

Why Do We Think Twice About TPC?

  1. Products and services are facing end-market challenges during this cycle, as seen in its flat sales over the last five years
  2. Gross margin of 6.7% reflects its high production costs
  3. Issuance of new shares over the last five years caused its earnings per share to fall by 18.8% annually

Tutor Perini’s stock price of $67.32 implies a valuation ratio of 15.5x forward P/E. Check out our free in-depth research report to learn more about why TPC doesn’t pass our bar.

Two Growth Stocks to Watch:

Intuit (INTU)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +17.1%

Originally named after its founding product "Intuitive for the first-time user," Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU) provides financial management software and services including TurboTax, QuickBooks, Credit Karma, and Mailchimp to help consumers and small businesses manage their finances.

Why Are We Positive On INTU?

  1. Billings have averaged 17.8% growth over the last year, showing it’s securing new contracts that could potentially increase in value over time
  2. Excellent operating margin of 26.7% highlights the efficiency of its business model, and it turbocharged its profits by achieving some fixed cost leverage
  3. Strong free cash flow margin of 32.7% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently

At $628.85 per share, Intuit trades at 8.2x forward price-to-sales. Is now the time to initiate a position? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .

Grid Dynamics (GDYN)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +23.6%

With engineering centers across the Americas, Europe, and India serving Fortune 1000 companies, Grid Dynamics (NASDAQ: GDYN) provides technology consulting, engineering, and analytics services to help large enterprises modernize their technology systems and business processes.

Why Are We Fans of GDYN?

  1. Impressive 29.1% annual revenue growth over the last five years indicates it’s winning market share this cycle
  2. Earnings growth has massively outpaced its peers over the last five years as its EPS has compounded at 22.2% annually
  3. Rising returns on capital show the company is starting to reap the benefits of its past investments

Grid Dynamics is trading at $8.68 per share, or 20.5x forward P/E. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
