Top Growth Stocks (February 2026)

For this screener, the filters have been chosen to identify stocks with high growth potential and manageable risk. 

Beta: A Beta greater than 1 indicates that the stock is more volatile than the overall market, which often correlates with higher growth potential. 

EPS CAGR (5 Yr): The high EPS CAGR (Earnings Per Share Compound Annual Growth Rate) over the past five years exceeding 20% ensures that the companies have demonstrated substantial earnings growth, a key indicator of strong financial performance and future growth prospects. 

Dividend Yield: A dividend yield (DY) of less than 2% suggests that these companies reinvest most of their earnings into the business rather than paying dividends, which is typical for high-growth companies focused on expansion and capital appreciation rather than income distribution.

What are growth stocks?

Growth stocks are shares in companies expected to grow at an above-average rate compared to other companies in the market. These companies typically reinvest their earnings into expansion, research and development, and other projects to fuel continued growth.

How do growth stocks differ from value stocks?

Growth stocks are often contrasted with value stocks, which are shares in companies believed to be undervalued by the market. While growth stocks are expected to increase in value due to their potential for rapid growth, value stocks are expected to gain value as the market recognizes their intrinsic worth.

What are the risks associated with growth stocks?

• Volatility: Growth stocks can be more volatile than the broader market.
• Higher valuations: Higher P/E ratios can make these stocks more susceptible to price corrections.
• Market sentiment: Investor sentiment can greatly affect growth stock prices, sometimes leading to overvaluation or rapid declines.

How do growth stocks perform in different market conditions?

• Bull markets: Growth stocks tend to perform well as investor confidence is high and economic conditions are favorable.
• Bear markets: These stocks can be more vulnerable to downturns as high valuations and speculative investments are often the first to be sold off.

Do growth stocks pay dividends?

Most growth stocks do not pay significant dividends, as they prefer to reinvest earnings into the company to fund further growth. Investors in growth stocks typically seek capital appreciation rather than income from dividends.

Can I invest in growth stocks through mutual funds or ETFs?

Yes, there are many mutual funds and ETFs that focus specifically on growth stocks. These can provide diversified exposure to a range of growth companies and reduce individual stock risk.
