Though there are signs that U.S. equity markets may be stumbling, the overall market bias remains substantially bullish. And the stocks that are most likely to benefit from such a bullish environment are growth stocks. Here, we bring you our picks for the top growth stocks to watch in April 2019.
What is a Growth Stock?
Generally, a growth stock is one that tends to grow, or rise in price, substantially more quickly than average. This may be due to a leading technology, unique products/services, a fast-expanding customer base, and/or some other differentiating factor that strongly attracts investors to the company’s stock.
We assess growth stocks based on the strength of both their technicals and fundamentals. These are stocks that show:
- Strong bullish trends on multiple time frames.
- Significant growth in earnings per share (EPS) over time.
- Exceptional relative strength within their industries, sectors, and the market as a whole.
How Do Growth Stock Traders Trade?
Growth stock traders generally seek to identify stocks with top technical/fundamental traits and strong, positive trends as early as possible. They then attempt to ride those trends and then get out if and when the technicals and/or fundamentals change for the worse. Typically, traders of growth stocks seek to take advantage of pullbacks or consolidations, and then upside breakouts.
