Growth is oxygen. But when it evaporates, the consequences can be severe - ask anyone who bought Cisco in the Dot-Com Bubble or newer investors who lived through the 2020 to 2022 COVID cycle.
The risks that can come from buying these assets is precisely why we started StockStory - to isolate the long-term winners from the losers so you can invest with confidence. That said, here are two growth stocks with significant upside potential and one climbing an uphill battle.
One Growth Stock to Sell:
Autodesk (ADSK)
One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.6%
Starting with AutoCAD in the 1980s and evolving into a comprehensive design ecosystem, Autodesk (NASDAQ: ADSK) provides software solutions for architecture, engineering, construction, manufacturing, and entertainment industries to design, simulate, and visualize projects.
Why Do We Think Twice About ADSK?
- Sales trends were unexciting over the last five years as its 13.5% annual growth was below the typical software company
- Customer acquisition costs take a while to recoup, making it difficult to justify sales and marketing investments that could increase revenue
- Static operating margin over the last year shows it couldn’t become more efficient
Autodesk’s stock price of $301.48 implies a valuation ratio of 8.5x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than ADSK.
Two Growth Stocks to Watch:
Atlassian (TEAM)
One-Year Revenue Growth: +19.5%
Started by two Australian university friends who funded their startup with credit cards, Atlassian (NASDAQ: TEAM) provides software tools that help teams plan, track, collaborate, and share knowledge across organizations.
Why Are We Fans of TEAM?
- Impressive 21.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years indicates it’s winning market share
- Software is difficult to replicate at scale and results in a top-tier gross margin of 83.5%
- Fast payback periods on sales and marketing expenses allow the company to invest heavily and onboard many customers concurrently
Atlassian is trading at $161.30 per share, or 6.4x forward price-to-sales. Is now a good time to buy? See for yourself in our comprehensive research report, it’s free for active Edge members .
Remitly (RELY)
One-Year Revenue Growth: +31.3%
With Amazon founder Jeff Bezos as an early investor, Remitly (NASDAQ: RELY) is an online platform that enables consumers to safely and quickly send money globally.
Why Will RELY Outperform?
- Active Customers have grown by 31.9% annually, allowing for more profitable cross-selling opportunities if it can build complementary products and features
- Additional sales over the last three years increased its profitability as the 74.6% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
- Free cash flow margin grew by 24.7 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more chips to play with
At $13.62 per share, Remitly trades at 11x forward EV/EBITDA. Is now the right time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free for active Edge members.
