How to profit from the stock market in crises? 5 secrets that experts don't tell you

Our Method for Selecting the Top Growth Stocks
To identify the best growth stocks, we focused on companies listed on the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange. We filtered out stocks priced below $5, those with a market cap under $300 million, and stocks with a daily trading volume under 100,000 to ensure stability and liquidity. We also excluded any companies with growth exceeding 1,000% to avoid extreme outliers.

Smart Tips for Investing in Growth Stocks
While a 30-day return can offer short-term insight, it’s important to look at a range of key financial ratios when evaluating potential growth stocks. Analyzing multiple metrics helps investors better understand each company’s strengths, financial health, and how the market perceives their future growth potential.

How to Identify Promising Growth Stocks
There’s no one-size-fits-all approach to finding strong growth stocks. Investors often look at a combination of factors like financial strength, leadership quality, performance metrics, and how a company compares to its industry competitors.

When evaluating a potential growth stock, pay close attention to the company’s history of revenue growth, earnings per share (EPS), and profit margins. Firms with consistently rising earnings often signal strong future growth potential. Also, consider avoiding dividend-paying stocks if you're focused on growth—since these companies are distributing profits rather than reinvesting them to expand the business.

1..Nvidia Corp. (NVDA)
Nvidia, a leading producer of high-end semiconductors, has been one of the most impressive growth stories in the stock market over the past 15 years. The company’s performance has consistently exceeded expectations, especially given its large size. In the fiscal fourth quarter, Nvidia reported a 78% year-over-year revenue increase and an 80% rise in net income. According to analyst Angelo Zino, Nvidia has strong future growth potential driven by its chips for edge technologies like advanced vehicles, PCs, and robotics, along with rising demand for software and AI solutions. CFRA maintains a "buy" rating on Nvidia, with a price target of $165.
As of April 11, the stock was trading at $110.93.

2. Tesla Inc. (TSLA)
Tesla remains the top electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer in the U.S., but its recent growth has slowed. In the fourth quarter, total revenue rose just 2.1% year over year, while revenue from its core automotive business fell by 8%. Despite this slowdown, analyst Garrett Nelson believes Tesla could benefit from CEO Elon Musk’s strong ties to former President Donald Trump, potentially speeding up regulatory approval for the company’s autonomous driving technology. Nelson expects Tesla to begin producing its autonomous "Cybercab" in 2027, forecasting a 4% revenue decline in 2025 followed by a 25% rebound in 2026. CFRA maintains a "buy" rating on Tesla with a $360 price target.
The stock closed at $252.31 on April 11.

3. Broadcom Inc. (AVGO)
Broadcom is a leading provider of analog semiconductor solutions, known for its diverse portfolio in chip design and development. The company posted an impressive 43% revenue increase in fiscal 2024 and has sustained 25% growth into the latest quarter. Analyst Angelo Zino highlights Broadcom's strength in custom silicon and networking, positioning it as a key beneficiary of the growing demand for AI infrastructure. Currently, AI-related technology accounts for about half of Broadcom’s semiconductor revenue and roughly 75% of its networking sales. Additionally, the recent VMware acquisition has introduced a steady stream of subscription-based income. CFRA gives Broadcom a "buy" rating with a $235 price target.
As of April 11, the stock was trading at $181.94.

4. JPMorgan Chase & Co. (JPM)
JPMorgan Chase is one of the largest global banks, managing approximately $4 trillion in assets. In 2023, JPMorgan acquired First Republic Bank after the latter collapsed during a regional banking crisis and was taken over by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC). The company reported an 8% increase in revenue in the first quarter, with net income rising by 9%. Analyst Kenneth Leon notes that JPMorgan’s future growth will be closely linked to the broader U.S. economy, projecting a 2.5% revenue growth for 2025. CFRA has a "buy" rating on JPMorgan, with a $310 price target.
The stock closed at $236.20 on April 11.

5. Eli Lilly and Co. (LLY)
Eli Lilly is a leading producer of brand-name prescription medications for a variety of medical conditions, including diabetes, cancer, and neurological disorders. In the fourth quarter, the company saw a remarkable 45% revenue growth, with a standout 60% increase in revenue from its diabetes and weight loss medication Mounjaro. Revenue from Zepbound, another diabetes and weight loss drug, also skyrocketed to $1.9 billion for the quarter, up from just $175.8 million the previous year. Analyst Sel Hardy points to key growth drivers for Lilly, including the surge in demand for GLP-1 weight loss drugs and the aging U.S. population. CFRA has given Eli Lilly a "buy" rating and a price target of $1,045, with the stock closing at $732.41 on April 11.

6. Bank of America Corp. (BAC)
Bank of America is one of the largest commercial and investment banks in the U.S., also offering wealth management services. In the fourth quarter, the bank reported a 15% increase in revenue and an impressive 111% growth in net income. Revenue from fixed-income trading rose by 19%, equities trading grew by 7%, and investment banking fees surged by 44%. Analyst Leon predicts that the pro-business policies of the Trump administration will likely drive strong loan growth and a recovery in investment banking activity in 2025, benefiting Bank of America. CFRA has assigned a "buy" rating to the stock with a fair value estimate of $53.
As of April 11, the stock closed at $35.95.

American Express Co. (AXP)
American Express is a leading financial services provider known for its credit cards, digital payment solutions, and travel-related offerings. In the fourth quarter, the company posted a 9% rise in revenue and a 12% increase in net income. Analyst Alexander Yokum highlights that American Express caters more to high-income consumers than its competitors—an advantage, as these customers are less likely to reduce spending during economic slowdowns. In 2024, the company consistently added over 3 million new cardholders each quarter. Yokum forecasts a 9% revenue increase in 2025. CFRA has given AXP a "buy" rating with a price target of $390.
The stock closed at $251.13 on April 11.
