3 BRILLIANT GROWTH STOCKS TO BUY NOW AND HOLD FOR THE LONG TERM

By Justin Pope – Dec 16, 2024 at 8:00AM

Key Points

 * AI's vast computing requirements should continue driving growth for Nvidia,
   the market's AI chip leader.
 * Alphabet is a best-in-show tech conglomerate. That's before getting into its
   tantalizing AI upside.
 * Amazon's size makes it a threat to go after almost any market -- and, oh
   yeah, it's also an AI gold mine.
 * Buy Alert: Our 10 best stocks to buy right now (see the list)

Some of the world's most dominant companies in high-growth markets, such as
cloud computing and artificial intelligence, offer compelling valuations.

The economy and the stock market experience ups and downs over time. Being a
long-term investor allows you to see the forest for the trees and base your
investments on big-picture trends that could dictate which stocks perform the
best over time.

Over the past decade, cloud computing, e-commerce, and digital advertising have
been prominent growth stories. While those still have more upside, emerging
industries like artificial intelligence (AI) are already paving the path to the
future.

The brilliant companies leading these industries have already enriched
shareholders and have the fundamentals and growth prospects to continue winning
for the foreseeable future. Consider buying these three top-notch growth stocks
today and holding them long-term.


1. NVIDIA

AI chip company Nvidia (NVDA 3.08%) is the poster child of the AI craze that has
swept the market since early 2023. The company built its business on graphics
processing units (GPUs), and their strong computing power and task-specific
functionality made them such a good fit for training AI models in data centers
that Nvidia essentially took almost the entire market. Cloud computing companies
have spent billions of dollars on Nvidia's H100 chips to amass the computing
power needed to run AI applications through the cloud.

That launched Nvidia into hyper-growth mode, and its next-generation chips are
poised to be just as successful. The reality is that AI requires immense
computing resources, and the need grows as models become more advanced and more
companies want to deploy AI applications. You can see that Nvidia's business
remains on an upward trajectory, with analysts estimating that it will generate
nearly $200 billion in revenue next fiscal year:





NVDA Revenue (TTM) data by YCharts

Analysts estimate Nvidia will grow earnings by an average of 20% annually over
the next three to five years. The stock trades at a forward price-to-earnings
(P/E) ratio of 47, a reasonable valuation for arguably the most important
company in the still-nascent AI industry. Nvidia should continue winning, so
consider buying today and adding opportunistically.

2. ALPHABET

Google is one of the world's most famous brands and is so dominant in internet
searches that regulators ruled it a monopoly earlier this year. That alone puts
its parent company, Alphabet (GOOG 1.72%) (GOOGL 1.54%), on this list. But
Alphabet is far more than a search engine; it owns the world's most-visited
video platform (YouTube), the world's third-largest cloud (Google Cloud), and a
host of interests in other technologies, like autonomous driving, quantum
computing, and smartphone software.

Alphabet is fiercely competing for AI leadership with other technology rivals.
It could have an edge because it owns the primary ingredients to develop and
deploy AI, including a cloud business (Google Cloud), an AI model (Gemini), and
a treasure trove of first-party data on which to train its AI. Alphabet has $93
billion in cash and generated $55 billion in free cash flow over the past four
quarters. The company is a financial juggernaut that can outspend (or at least
keep pace with) any competitor:





GOOGL Free Cash Flow data by YCharts

Given its existing businesses and AI upside, it's hard not to love Alphabet's
investment prospects. Analysts estimate the company will grow earnings at an
average annual rate of almost 18% for the next three to five years. That growth
rate makes the stock a compelling value, trading at just 24 times earnings.


3. AMAZON

E-commerce giant Amazon (AMZN 0.73%) went from selling books online to selling
just about everything. Its ascension to control roughly 40% of all e-commerce in
the United States makes it one of the most significant corporate success stories
ever.

Just as impressive has been the company's ability to pivot, starting and
expanding new businesses that have risen to the top of their respective markets.
Amazon's Prime subscription gives the company direct access to over 200 million
customers, helping it create additional opportunities in video streaming,
grocery, and healthcare.

Amazon also operates the world's largest cloud computing platform, which has
become the primary source of the company's profits. Customers can deploy AI
applications through Amazon's cloud platform, making it a key cog in AI for as
long as it retains its market share. Amazon's ability to pursue various markets
makes it a clear-cut growth stock.



AMZN Revenue Estimates for Current Fiscal Year data by YCharts

The future looks bright, partly because Amazon's core businesses still have
plenty of life left. Consider that e-commerce (Amazon's oldest business)
accounts for less than a fifth of retail spending in America! Amazon recently
launched online vehicle sales, proving it can and will target almost any
consumer market.

Analysts estimate Amazon will grow earnings by an average rate of 28% over the
next three to five years, making the stock a solid buy at its forward P/E of 44.




SHOULD YOU INVEST $1,000 IN NVIDIA RIGHT NOW?

Before you buy stock in Nvidia, consider this:

The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are
the 10 best stocks for investors to buy now… and Nvidia wasn’t one of them. The
10 stocks that made the cut could produce monster returns in the coming years.

Consider when Nvidia made this list on April 15, 2005... if you invested $1,000
at the time of our recommendation, you’d have $825,513!*

Now, it’s worth noting Stock Advisor’s total average return is 901% — a
market-crushing outperformance compared to 173% for the S&P 500.

Don’t let others invest while you stand on the sidelines.
