They have all dropped in over 30% so far, and now would be a good time to load these stocks.
The first three months of 2022 are coming to an end, and it has been a turning point in history. Many high-growth stocks have been declining amid widespread economic concerns related to inflation, rising interest rates, and global crises. And at lower rates, there are some solid deals that investors can buy right now.
Three of the best acquisitions of emerging investors as April approaches are Ascend Wellness Holdings (AAWH 0.21%), Shopify (SHOP -4.57%), and Upstart Holdings (UPST 2.25%). From cannabis to e-commerce to fintech, these stocks will provide you with exposure to other promising growth categories that can help generate strong returns for your portfolio in the years to come.
1. Ascend Wellness Holdings
Multi-regional marijuana user Ascend Wellness is not as big a marijuana business as Curaleaf Holdings, with more than 100 locations nationwide. Ascend's strategy is highly focused, with the company having 20 centers in five provinces, including tropical markets such as Illinois, Michigan, Massachusetts, and New Jersey. Those markets (which include both entertainment and medicine) could cost $ 10.1 billion this year. Even the Ohio medical market, where Ascend is also located, could generate $ 2.7 billion.
The company reported its end-of-year results on March 8, with $ 332.4 million sales rising 131% year-on-year. Its adjusted profits before interest rates, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) profits of $ 79.4 million increased by 158% and became 24% of the top line. While the company anticipates a challenging start to the year (there are overcrowding problems plaguing the industry today), it is optimistic about its future, especially in the New Jersey market used by adults, which is expected to start selling later this year. And as more states officially legalize marijuana, there will be more opportunities for Ascend to grow even more.
Trading at lower prices for both prices, Ascend is cheaper than other, more popular pot stocks (Curaleaf trades 3.8 times the revenue). And with an encouraging base and the presence of other promising provinces, this stock may be a limited purchase today. Although its share price fell by 58% in the past year, the potty industry as a whole has struggled, with the Horizons Marijuana Life Sciences ETF falling by 40% over the same period. Investing now while prices are low can be a good move for long-term investors.
2. Shopify
One stock taken over 2020 e-commerce bully Shopify. Its share price is part of what it was at the beginning of the year, while the S&P 500 fell only 4%. Investors are increasingly worried about the company's growth prospects after Shopify itself warned that its growth rate would decline this year, from 57% by 2021. Additional storms due to inflation and Russia's invasion of Ukraine give investors an additional reason to trade stock.
But the problem is that those problems, while related, are not the ones that can last (or at least, reduce business) for a long time. The global e-commerce market continues to grow, with Grand View Research analysts expecting to generate more than $ 27 billion by 2027. That is almost three times the $ 10.4 trillion you deserved by 2020. And as one of the world's leading trading platforms, Shopify will benefit from that tremendous growth.
It is also encouraging that the business has generated more than $ 504 million in its operations over the past year, which should give investors confidence in Shopify's ability to grow their operations without resorting to sharing in the way other businesses grow. The future of the company remains bright and investors should not be disappointed with this latest wave of bearishness.
3. Upstart Holdings
Upstart is an exciting growing stock of your own because it simply scratches its long-term strength. Disruptive fintech stocks make the lending business more efficient using artificial intelligence, which helps to integrate more than 1,000 data points into the decision-making process. Some analysts have shifted stocks, given Upstart's face risk in the event of an economic downturn or a long-term decline leading to declining lending. But those are also temporary issues, as is the case with Shopify, they weigh in the stocks.
By 2021, Upstart revenue jumped 264% to $ 849 million. In the current year, it expects its top line to reach $ 1.4 billion, representing a growth rate of 65%. The company is very much focused on car loans, saying that "the origins of our platform are now growing rapidly and will provide opportunities for growth in Upstart for years to come." Over the past year, the company has made $ 168.4 million in cash in its day-to-day operations and its gross profit has been $ 135.4 million.
Upstart shares are down 32% by 2022, and a double stock price increase of 45 could make investors hesitate to buy a dip. But with a company producing more than 16% profitable genes last year during rapid growth, that much is likely to decline in the future. Investing in stocks today may stop investors from getting strong profits in the future.
