Growth boosts valuation multiples, but it doesn’t always last forever. Companies that cannot maintain it are often penalized with large declines in market value, a lesson ingrained in investors who lost money in tech stocks during 2022.
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 climbing an uphill battle.
One Growth Stock to Sell:
Novavax (NVAX)
One-Year Revenue Growth: +20.3%
Pioneering a nanoparticle technology that mimics the molecular structure of disease pathogens, Novavax (NASDAQ: NVAX) develops and commercializes protein-based vaccines for infectious diseases, with a primary focus on its COVID-19 vaccine and combination respiratory vaccine candidates.
Why Are We Hesitant About NVAX?
- Flat sales over the last two years suggest it must find different ways to grow during this cycle
- Forecasted revenue decline of 46.8% for the upcoming 12 months implies demand will fall off a cliff
- Free cash flow margin dropped by 73.8 percentage points over the last five years, implying the company became more capital intensive as competition picked up
At $7.85 per share, Novavax trades at 2.3x forward price-to-sales. Dive into our free research report to see why there are better opportunities than NVAX.
Two Growth Stocks to Watch:
Netflix (NFLX)
One-Year Revenue Growth: +15.4%
Launched by Reed Hastings as a DVD mail rental company until its famous pivot to streaming in 2007, Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX) is a pioneering streaming content platform.
Why Are We Positive On NFLX?
- Has the opportunity to boost monetization through new features and premium offerings as its global streaming paid memberships have grown by 14.2% annually over the last two years
- Performance over the past three years was turbocharged by share buybacks, which enabled its earnings per share to grow faster than its revenue
- Free cash flow margin jumped by 18.4 percentage points over the last few years, giving the company more resources to pursue growth initiatives, repurchase shares, or pay dividends
