Top 20 Growth Stocks Right Now
Marvin's rules found 20 profitable companies with fast revenue growth and high Overall scores. They span energy, technology, healthcare, financials and more. This list describes company traits and is not a recommendation.
Growth stocks are shares of companies whose sales are rising quickly. This list has 20 companies that Marvin's rules picked because their revenue grew strongly in the last fiscal year, they are profitable, and they score well against other companies in their own industry.
Fast growth is only one part of the picture. A company can grow quickly and still have thin margins, heavy debt or uneven cash flow, so each pick below includes a caution. Growth in one year also does not show how steady a company's sales are.
Some figures are missing for some companies, and the blurbs say so where it matters. Treat this list as a starting point for your own research, not as advice.
The list
How Marvin ranked these stocks
Marvin only looked at companies above a minimum size. It kept profitable ones with revenue growth above a set minimum and an Overall score above a set bar, then ranked them by Overall score, highest first, with at most three from any one sector. Marvin scores run from 0 to 100 and compare each company with others in its own industry, so a high score means a company looks strong against its industry peers, not against every stock.
Companies above about $300 million in size, ranked by Marvin scores (0-100, relative to each company's own industry). Profitable companies with revenue growth of at least 15% and an Overall score of at least 65, highest Overall first; at most 3 per sector.

Common questions
What is a growth stock?
A growth stock is a share in a company whose sales are growing faster than is typical. Here Marvin measures this by revenue growth over the last fiscal year and also requires the company to be profitable.
Does fast revenue growth mean a company is a good investment?
No. Growth shows that sales rose, not that the business is healthy or that the stock will do well. Margins, debt and cash flow matter too, and past growth does not guarantee future results.
Why are Marvin scores compared within an industry?
Industries differ in how profitable and how indebted a typical company is. Comparing each company with its own industry peers avoids judging a bank by the standards of a software firm, but it also means scores are not directly comparable across industries.
