Buy These 3 Monster Growth Stocks Before It’s Too Late

Amid sky-high inflation and consecutive rate hikes, U.S. GDP witnessed another consecutive decline in the second quarter. However, investors seem to have shaken off recession fears causing U.S. equities to rally. Thus, we think quality growth stocks, Core Molding (CMT), Civeo (CVEO), and Genuine Parts (GPC), could be worth buying now. Continue reading…

The Fed announced another 75 bps rate hike on Wednesday to tame the multi-decade high inflation. Moreover, U.S. GDP declined by 0.9% in the second quarter, marking the second straight quarter slump.

Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody’s Analytics, said, “We’re not in recession, but it’s clear the economy’s growth is slowing.” However, it seems that investors are looking past the recession worries. Stocks rallied in the last trading session despite the latest GDP contraction, as investors bet the economic downturn would soon cause the Fed to deter from its aggressive stance.

Despite the volatile circumstances, fundamentally strong growth stocks are gaining significant investor attention and outperforming the broader market, as is evident from the SPDR Portfolio S&P 500 Growth ETF’s (SPYG) 9.4% gains over the past month versus SPDR S&P 500 Trust ETF’s (SPY) 6.7% gains.

Given this backdrop, investors could consider buying these monster growth stocks, Core Molding Technologies, Inc. (CMT), Civeo Corporation (CVEO), and Genuine Parts Company (GPC), before it gets too late.
