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.
Deciphering which businesses can sustain their high growth rates is a challenge for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory. Keeping that in mind, here are two growth stocks where the best is yet to come and one whose momentum may slow.
One Growth Stock to Sell:
EverQuote (EVER)
One-Year Revenue Growth: +113%
Aiming to simplify a once complicated process, EverQuote (NASDAQ: EVER) is an online insurance marketplace where consumers can compare and purchase various types of insurance from different providers
Why Does EVER Fall Short?
- Highly competitive market means it’s on the never-ending treadmill of sales and marketing spend
EverQuote is trading at $23.58 per share, or 11x forward EV/EBITDA. If you’re considering EVER for your portfolio, see our FREE research report to learn more.
Two Growth Stocks to Watch:
SentinelOne (S)
One-Year Revenue Growth: +32.2%
With roots in the Israeli cyber intelligence community, SentinelOne (NYSE: S) provides software to help organizations efficiently detect, prevent, and investigate cyber attacks.
Why Could S Be a Winner?

- Expected revenue growth of 22.9% for the next year suggests its market share will rise
- Free cash flow margin is expected to increase by 7.5 percentage points next year, suggesting the company will have more capital to invest or return to shareholders
