Growth stocks can give you a lot of bang for your buck. A company that consistently grows revenue and earnings often has broad market support, including upwardly trending analysts’ sentiment to help increase the stock price.

Blockbuster growth stocks produce high-double-digit or triple-digit growth and can see their share prices advance by similar amounts. But which growth stocks are the best to invest in?

MarketBeat's team of analysts have put together a special report that explores this question.

I would like to share with you MarketBeat’s list of 13 stocks that large institutional investors have been devouring shares of in the last 90 days.

Hedge funds, university endowments, pension funds, and sovereign wealth funds have been [link]pouring money into these companies[/link].

Institutional investors don’t get easily swayed by the hot stocks of the day that are popular with retail investors. They are disciplined. They don’t take dumb losses.

When institutions start to pour money into a company, it’s because they have done extensive analysis and believe a company is undervalued compared to the broader market.

On this list, you will find real companies that are backed by real earnings and real fundamentals.

These stocks have solid future growth prospects. If they didn’t, institutional investors wouldn’t be writing them a check.

You might ask, where did this proprietary list of companies even come from?

No, we didn’t steal it from a trading desk at a major bank.

Our team combed through more than 5,000 SEC 13D and 13F filings issued with the SEC in the last quarter to see where institutional money is flowing.

The 13 stocks on this list stick out like a sore thumb – big money investors are pouring hundreds of millions of dollars into these companies.

You are going to want to see this list of companies before making your next trade.

Before you make your next investment, you'll want to hear this.

MarketBeat's team of research analysts keeps track of Wall Street's top-rated and best-performing research analysts and the stocks they recommend to their institutional clients on a daily basis.

Our analysts have identified the five stocks that top analysts are quietly whispering to their clients to buy during the month of August before the broader market catches on... and none of the usual suspects, including Apple, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Netflix made the list. 

While Apple and NVIDIA could offer long term returns, Wall Street's best analysts believe these five stocks may be even better buys.

There is a disturbing trend in the stock market that we wanted to make sure you are aware of. Some public companies are getting abandoned by their management. Their CEOs, COOs, CFOs, and [link]other executives are selling stock as fast as they can[/link], hoping the markets don’t take notice.

Sure, it’s normal for an executive to sell shares here and there to cover lifestyle expenses. When multiple C-level executives and directors are dumping their shares onto public markets at the same time, that’s when you know you should be concerned.

If executives are group selling shares of their company’s stock, they must be extremely pessimistic about where their company’s share price is headed. After all, who would sell shares of their company stock if they think it’s going to go up in the near future?  

MarketBeat’s team has combed through every Form 4 disclosure filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission in the last six months and has identified 12 stocks that have had unusually high levels of insider selling. You are going to want to see if one of the stocks in your portfolio is on this list.

The stock market has largely recovered from its 2022 and 2023 slowdown and continues to hit new all time highs every few months. Right now, the market as a whole looks relatively expensive compared to historical averages.

Historically, companies on the S&P 500 have traded at about 15 times earnings in a more normal market environment.

Despite ongoing inflation, political uncertainty, and international strife, the typical S&P 500 company is still trading at about 25 times earnings.

Bullish investors are keeping prices higher than they probably should be, and this is making it challenging to [link]find cheap stocks to buy[/link].

Most S&P 500 companies continue to look expensive, but there are still a handful of undervalued stocks trading at less than $10.00 per share. Value opportunities exist if you know where to look.

Putting together a list of cheap stocks to buy now requires looking into some smaller, riskier, unloved, or undiscovered parts of the market.

Some of these companies are great ideas because they're too small and too risky to attract most mutual funds and professional money managers.

Others have been beaten up by the market after a period of slowing earnings and profits but are now working to turn around and bounce back.

Each of these 10 stock picks shares a common characteristic, a super-low share price of $10.00 or less.

Today, we are inviting you to take a free peek at our proprietary, exclusive, and up-to-the-minute list of 20 stocks that Wall Street's top analysts hate.

These are true "Strong Sell" stocks.

Many of these appear to have good fundamentals and might seem like okay investments, but something is wrong. Analysts smell something seriously rotten about these companies.

Sell-side analysts may not have a 100% hit rate on their buy ratings, but they almost always are spot on when they throw red flags and issue "sell" ratings.

If any of these stocks are lurking around in your portfolio, you may seriously want to consider dumping them.

Beta, a key component of the Capital Asset Pricing Model, measures a stock's volatility relative to a benchmark, typically the S&P 500. This metric helps assess a stock’s impact on portfolio risk and assists in building low-risk, balanced portfolios. Beta is represented by a number: a beta of one indicates a stock moves in line with the market, while a beta higher than one suggests greater volatility and higher risk compared to the market.

Understanding beta involves distinguishing between systemic and non-systemic risks. Systemic risks are inherent to the entire financial system and cannot be avoided, affecting the market as a whole. An example is the COVID-19 pandemic, which caused a significant market downturn that impacted all stocks. Non-systemic risks, on the other hand, are specific to individual companies or sectors and can be mitigated through diversification or sector avoidance, such as the risks associated with the Electric Vehicle (EV) industry bubble.

Investors use beta to gauge a stock’s susceptibility to market movements. A stock with a beta of one has systemic risk, meaning its performance will likely mirror market fluctuations. Conversely, a stock with a beta lower than one is less influenced by market movements and is therefore less exposed to systemic risks. This understanding allows investors to make informed decisions about portfolio composition and risk management.

MarketBeat's team of analysts have put together a special report that explores beta's impact and usage, as well as what little-known opportunities there are to invest in related companies.

Artificial intelligence (AI) dates back to 1951 with a checkers-playing project. Today, technological advancements have led to the rise of autonomous machines, such as convolutional networks where AI systems interact and influence each other's conclusions. Generative AI, particularly transformer models like ChatGPT, are at the forefront, transforming inputs into outputs, with applications in chatbots, text, and image generation.

The AI market, valued between $100 and $450 billion in 2022, is projected to expand rapidly, potentially reaching over $600 billion by 2030 or even trillions. AI's influence is integral to the Industrial Revolution 4.0, enhancing digitization and efficiency in businesses through automation and smart technology. By 2024, cloud-based AI and edge computing will be pivotal as technology integrates AI into global devices.

Did you know that nuclear energy is actually one of the safest forms of energy in the world? I know, sounds crazy, right?”

Most people hear ‘nuclear’ and think of disasters… but the truth? Nuclear power has caused FAR fewer deaths per terawatt-hour than coal, oil, or even natural gas.

And unlike wind or solar, nuclear runs 24/7, producing clean, reliable energy.

The world is pushing for net-zero emissions… but there’s a BIG problem.

And the problem is AI - its data centers require massive amounts of energy. And let’s be real… wind and solar alone won’t cut it.

That’s why governments and the biggest companies in the world are quietly investing billions into nuclear power.

This shift is happening right NOW.

We’ve identified 7 nuclear energy stocks that could be positioned to soar as this energy revolution unfolds -- companies developing small modular reactors (SMRs), advanced fuel technologies, and a few other companies you might never have considered.

Retirement. The act of retiring. Withdrawing from one’s chosen profession and/or active working life. The end of income. Or is it? Retirement can mean many things for many people but what it doesn’t have to mean is an end to your income.

Yes, with retirement, you’ll probably stop actively earning, but that doesn’t mean you start spending what you’ve saved. In that frame of reference, your retirement savings could vanish in the blink of a few years, but it doesn’t have to be that way. A portfolio of retirement stocks can mean steady, stable, income throughout your retirement years.

The goal of owning retirement stocks is to grow your capital to a point it generates enough income to sustain a comfortable standard of living in retirement. That usually means dividends but don’t be fooled. A portfolio of stocks you might want to own during retirement is not necessarily the one you want to own in preparation for retirement. When preparing for retirement, investors tend to take on a little more risk sacrificing safety for potential gains. A retiree is more interested in steady dividend returns than risking capital and may choose to own different stocks.

In the report, Thomas Hughes covers different types of retirement stocks, the value of dividend growth stocks, retirement saving strategies, and why you should care about your retirement investments every day.

By now, you have probably already heard about 5G cellphone technology. Every new iPhone and Android smartphone has a 5G wireless chip built in, allowing for ultra-fast communications with the rest of the Internet.

While consumer adoption of 5G has been strong, it's still early innings for the technology. Most existing cellular towers need to be upgraded to work with 5G communications bands. The roll-out of 5G is just picking up steam, and analysts believe that the 5G industry will grow at a near 44% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) for the next seven years.

By the end of the decade, 5G will have impacted every life on the planet and touch our lives in ways that can only be imagined today. 5G communications technology will enable the operations of self-driving vehicles, automated flying drones, and a global internet of things. 

In this special report, MarketBeat contributor Thomas Hughes covers the roll out of 5G technology, why it's still early innings, and which companies stand to benefit most from the future of 5G.

The electric vehicle market is no longer a niche market. What was once just a nod to the green movement is now the driving force of the automotive industry and is still a double-digit growth opportunity for investors.

Think about it; sales of ICE vehicles have rebounded from the 2020 to 2021 lows but remain well below the pre-pandemic level, while EV sales are growing by high-double-digits.

However, investors should be cautious. This is a shift in technology we're talking about, not a new growth market, which is why it is such a tough environment to invest in. The new tech may be hot, but the long-time OEMs are in the best position to win over the long term.

A secular shift is driving the strength of the market. The shift is away from ICE and fossil fuels into sustainable technology. That includes EV vehicles of all varieties but ultimately is a technological shift, not a new industry, so profitability matters more than growth. The major OEMs are already in place and in the best position to produce EVs at scale and show a profit.

In this report, MarketBeat analyst Thomas Hughes covers the regulations around EV, who's who in the industry, and all about battery technology. Click the link to get your copy.

The metaverse has been one of the hottest buzzwords among investors. But what is the metaverse? And is it a real opportunity, or just the latest flavor of the month? That’s a hard question to answer.

Recently, a group of technology company executives were asked what the metaverse was. They had vastly different responses that show that there is no single definition.

Right now, the metaverse can be thought of as the next generation of the internet. For many, that future means persistent digital worlds that users can enter and interact with using an avatar.

Today that is playing out (no pun intended) in the gaming sector. The very popular World of Warcraft allows players to come and go from the digital space. And while they’re “inside the game” they can interact with each other and even engage in commerce.

While the metaverse is still largely undefined, there are great investment opportunities to take advantage of the Internet of the future.  Beyond META and NVIDIA, there are several small public companies working on inventing the metaverse and the next iterations of the Internet.

MarketBeat analyst Thomas Hughes discusses these companies in this in-depth report.

At any given time, even experienced investors have questions about what stocks to buy. This is particularly true for beginners. Many beginning investors know that a long-term plan to build wealth has to include stocks. But it can be easy to fall into the trap of “analysis paralysis” or the trap of that comes from the fear of missing out (FOMO). Both of these mistakes can seriously impact the ability to achieve your financial goals.

A properly balanced portfolio requires diversification. A good way of thinking about diversification is like a restaurant menu. Investors want to choose some stocks from every part of the menu. Value stocks, growth stocks, stocks that offer growth and value, and dividend stocks are just a few sectors that should be in your portfolio.

And that still leaves room for a few desserts. For example, the metaverse is one of the hottest new sectors. But while the sector itself carries significant risk, there are some safe stocks that you can buy now and own for the long haul.

In the report, Thomas Hughes walks investors through several distinct categories of stocks. When you finish reading the report, you’ll have 10 stocks that can form the base of a diversified portfolio.
