Today, we’ll look at the top 5 stocks listed on the ASX that we think have strong growth potential.
Some of these stocks have already made double-digit gains and are poised to potentially make triple.
Picking the best stocks to buy now is hard. However, if you dig hard enough, the ASX has a number of hidden gems that can provide strong growth for your portfolio.
With the correction towards the end of 2018, growth stocks have been hit hard and brought down some of the more ridiculous valuations investors have priced in.
Even though the stocks have become cheaper, the narrative of the story hasn’t changed.
The recovery at the start of 2019 has helped a lot of these stocks build momentum. This means more upside as people start piling back into riskier growth stocks this year.
How Do We Find Growth Stocks To Buy?
Growth stocks are generally driven almost entirely by qualitative factors such as first mover advantage, quality and quantity of assets, permits and technology.
Quantitative factors such as profit, revenue and so forth generally take a back seat.
Even though it is imperative that their financials are sound, when it comes to growth stocks, we are buying the story and perceived future value.
However, the very nature of valuing companies through qualitative factors means that there is a lot of room for error, opinion and subjectivity.
This means that high growth stocks tend to be small-cap, high risk and highly speculative.
The hardest part when it comes to finding growth stocks is the ability to process the information and factors at hand to make a good judgement call.
Our Research team specialises in this and has combed the ASX for some of the best growth stocks on the Australian market.
