Buy These 2 Growth Stocks Before They Boom

The red-hot inflation and the Fed’s hawkish stance are raising the possibility of a recession. However, historical trends suggest that the market could experience a rebound later this month or early next month. So, we think it could be wise to invest in growth stocks Teva Pharmaceutical (TEVA) and Forrester Research (FORR), which are well-positioned to ride the market’s potential rebound. Keep reading…

The stock market is witnessing wild swings as red-hot inflation, the Fed’s rate hikes, ongoing geo-political instability, and other macroeconomic headwinds have battered the economy.

JP Morgan CEO Jamie Dimon expects the economy to hit a recession next year. He also estimates the Fed’s benchmark interest rates to go higher than the 4%-4.5% level as it fights the stubbornly high inflation.

However, stocks rose on Monday as key quarterly reports lifted optimism about the corporate earnings season. Moreover, based on historical trends, CNBC’s Jim Cramer expects a powerful rally later this month or at the beginning of November.

He noted that the market tends to bottom in mid-to-late October and then leads into a “powerful” rally, providing a terrific buying opportunity. 

So, we think investors could grab quality growth stocks Teva Pharmaceutical Industries Limited (TEVA) and Forrester Research, Inc. (FORR), which look poised to soar.
