2 Growth Stocks with All-Star Potential and 1 We Find Risky

Growth boosts valuation multiples, but it doesn’t always last forever. Companies that cannot maintain it are often penalized with large declines in market value, a lesson ingrained in investors who lost money in tech stocks during 2022.

Luckily for you, our job at StockStory is to help you avoid short-term fads by pointing you toward high-quality businesses that can generate sustainable long-term growth. Keeping that in mind, here are two growth stocks where the best is yet to come and one that could be down big.

One Growth Stock to Sell:

Champion Homes (SKY)

One-Year Revenue Growth: +16.9%

Founded in 1951, Champion Homes (NYSE:SKY) is a manufacturer of modular homes and buildings in North America.

Why Does SKY Fall Short?

1. 4.4% annual revenue growth over the last two years was slower than its industrials peers
2. Performance over the past two years shows its incremental sales were much less profitable, as its earnings per share fell by 19.2% annually
3. Eroding returns on capital suggest its historical profit centers are aging

Champion Homes’s stock price of $74.73 implies a valuation ratio of 22.3x forward P/E. Read our free research report to see why you should think twice about including SKY in your portfolio.
