While many investors have been leaning towards “risk-off” investments like dividend stocks and gold, there are some more aggressive “risk-on” companies out there putting up gains that put even the most impressive bull markets to shame.
The following list of up-and-coming stocks admittedly is full of companies that are not yet profitable. However, they have market values of $300 million or more, making them fairly established. Furthermore, all have strong share performance that would be impressive even during a time when upwards momentum on Wall Street is the norm.
Considering their performance this year, which includes gains of more than 1,000% since Jan. 1 for one high-flier, these are certainly up-and-coming stocks to watch.
