Growth Stocks To Watch Now – May 21st

Novo Nordisk A/S, Apollo Global Management, and BlackRock are the three Growth stocks to watch today, according to MarketBeat’s stock screener tool. Growth stocks are shares of companies that are expected to grow their revenues and earnings at an above-average rate compared to the overall market. Investors in growth stocks typically seek capital appreciation rather than dividend income, since these companies often reinvest profits back into expansion and new projects. Because they rely on future performance, growth stocks can be more volatile and carry higher risk, but they also offer the potential for significant returns if the companies meet or exceed growth expectations. These companies had the highest dollar trading volume of any Growth stocks within the last several days.
