7 turbocharged growth stocks set to soar 1 000 by 2026

Since I first appeared on CNBC decades ago to discuss technology stocks, I have learned: When a company grows faster than investors expect and raises its growth forecast, its stock price usually goes up. That’s what we’re likely to see in 2026 with the AI chip designer Nvidia; another company called Iren, which is a former bitcoin miner turned AI cloud services provider; and quantum computing service provider... Here’s why buying shares of these growth stocks could help your portfolio — and the associated risks: A growth stock is a share of a company that is expected to grow at a faster rate than the average company in the market. These companies often reinvest their earnings back into the business to fund expansion, so they do not pay dividends. Investors buy growth stocks for their potential for high capital gains, based on the expectation that the company's future earnings will drive a significant increase in share price.

Prospects for growth stocks in 2026 are positive due to strong earnings expectations and continued investment in areas like artificial intelligence. Analysts anticipate growth for the broader market and specific sectors, supported by rising AI-related capital expenditures. However, volatility for companies without strong fundamentals remains a risk. Written by Faisal Humayun for InvestorPlace-> InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice & Trading Tips The S&P 500 index touched highs of 5,670 in July.

Over the last one month, the index movement has been volatile with a downward bias. There is nervousness among investors as geopolitical tensions remain high and GDP growth has been sluggish. I believe that this volatility and correction can be used to accumulate several quality growth stocks. An important point to note is that the U.S. Federal Reserve is likely to pursue expansionary policies before the end of 2024. Further, multiple rate cuts might be on the cards next year.

While the impact will be with a lag, expansionary policies will support GDP growth. This will have an impact on earnings in the next 24 to 36 months. I therefore believe that fundamentally strong growth stocks are likely to deliver healthy returns within this time horizon. Let’s therefore discuss the business factors that are likely to support value creation in these ideas. If you’re looking for the best growth stocks to buy and hold through 2030, you should look into the many solid businesses other than the top tech mega-caps. I believe expanding your core growth holdings into some of these quality businesses is a good idea, as they have sticky revenues and solid growth over the coming years.

Growth stocks have been driving the market recently, and that is unlikely to change anytime soon. These companies have solid growth that should allow them to beat the market over the long run. That said, profitability will make or break companies, and the ones I will be discussing today have plenty, or at least are expected to, in the near future. Constellation Software (OTCMKTS:CNSWF) provides software and services to select public and private sector markets. This Canadian software powerhouse has been a compounding machine for years, making it one of the most reliable and influential stocks in the nation’s tech sector. I believe this stock is poised to rapidly rebound from any dip given its rock-solid fundamentals.

This company is also far more geographically diversified than you’d think. In Q4, revenue surged 26% year-over-year to $2.35 billion. For the full year, sales skyrocketed 27% to $8.41 billion. Analysts expect this momentum to persist, with revenue projected to double within the next four years at a roughly 20% annual growth clip. Yet astoundingly, CSU trades at a mere six times sales. For a software juggernaut of this caliber, that’s an absolute steal.

That said, most growth stocks right now are trading at nosebleed valuations. These stocks have significant downside potential if the market decides to correct, and their upside potential is driven a lot by the broader market’s momentum. However, there are many outliers, and I think many of them can deliver multibagger returns from their current valuations in the coming years. Here are seven to look into: Sprout Social (NASDAQ:SPT) provides a platform for businesses to manage their social media presence. While the stock has been battered lately after a recent revenue miss, I believe the selloff is overdone, and Sprout Social remains poised for explosive growth ahead.

It is now down around 75% from its peak. In Q1 2024, Sprout delivered 28.7% year-over-year revenue growth to $96.8 million. The company also swung to profitability, posting adjusted EPS of 10 cents, which crushed estimates by 9 cents. However, its full-year 2024 outlook was mixed, with adjusted EPS of 45-46 cents, beating expectations but revenue guidance of $405-$406 million, slightly missing the $425.6 million consensus. Despite the near-term hiccup, I’m convinced Sprout’s best days lie ahead. People spend more time on social media than ever, and Sprout is perfectly positioned to help companies maximize their presence.

The company’s robust platform and AI capabilities give it a major competitive edge.
