3 High-Flying Stocks with Exciting Potential

"You get what you pay for" often applies to expensive stocks with best-in-class business models and execution. While their quality can sometimes justify the premium, they typically experience elevated volatility during market downturns when expectations change.

Determining whether a company’s quality justifies its price causes headaches for nearly all investors, which is why we started StockStory - to help you separate the real opportunities from the speculative ones. Keeping that in mind, here are three high-flying stocks to hold for the long term.

TJX (TJX)

Forward P/E Ratio: 30.2x

Initially based on a strategy of buying excess inventory from manufacturers or other retailers, TJX (NYSE:TJX) is an off-price retailer that sells brand-name apparel and other goods at prices much lower than department stores.

Why Should TJX Be on Your Watchlist?

1. Same-store sales growth averaged 4.1% over the past two years, showing it’s bringing new and repeat shoppers into its stores
2. Unparalleled revenue scale of $57.93 billion offsets its poor gross margin and gives it advantageous pricing and terms with suppliers
3. Industry-leading 27.9% return on capital demonstrates management’s skill in finding high-return investments, and its returns are climbing as it finds even more attractive growth opportunities

TJX’s stock price of $140.80 implies a valuation ratio of 30.2x forward P/E. Is now a good time to buy? Find out in our full research report, it’s free.

Why Do We Love MNST?

2. Strong free cash flow margin of 22.6% enables it to reinvest or return capital consistently, and its growing cash flow gives it even more resources to deploy

Why Do We Watch BSX?

2. Sales outlook for the upcoming 12 months implies the business will stay on its desirable two-year growth trajectory
3. Additional sales over the last five years increased its profitability as the 18.4% annual growth in its earnings per share outpaced its revenue
