Novo Nordisk A/S, Apollo Global Management, and Welltower are the three Growth stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat's stock screener tool. Growth stocks are shares of companies whose revenues and earnings are expected to grow at above-average rates compared with the overall market. These firms typically reinvest profits back into expansion rather than paying high dividends, leading investors to accept higher price-to-earnings ratios in anticipation of future gains. As a result, growth stocks can be more volatile but offer the potential for outsized capital appreciation. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Growth stocks within the last several days.
