The market is still near record highs, and as such, valuations remain sky-high. That doesn’t necessarily mean every ticker is priced out of reach, however. If you’re willing to dig deep enough, you can find growth stocks still worth stepping into.

To this end, here’s a closer look at three brilliant long-term growth stocks you can buy right now, and actually feel good about doing so.

Missed Nvidia in 2009? This Rare Signal Is Flashing Again. In 2009, a “Double Down” signal flashed for a little-known chipmaker called Nvidia. For the first time in years, that same “Total Conviction” signal is flashing for a company 1/100th the size of Nvidia. Continue »

1. Chewy

Online pet supply retailer Chewy‘s (NYSE: CHWY) shareholders can’t seem to catch a break. Just when it looked like the stock might finally be snapping out of its post-pandemic pullback, in the latter half of last year, shares started slumping again. Blame the economic backdrop, mostly, which has only worsened since then.

Now take a closer look at its results, and in particular, last quarter’s numbers. Chewy’s revenue improved 7.7% year over year, pumping up per-share profits from $0.15 to $0.23, both of which topped analysts’ estimates. Profit margins widened, too, while the portion of sales coming from autoship customers — customers who have automated regular, recurring shipments of their pets’ supplies — expanded again, from 82.2% to 84.4%. The company’s doing everything it’s supposed to be doing.

Sure, guidance disappointed. The company dialed back its full-year revenue outlook from an expected range of $13.6 billion to $13.75 billion to a new range of only $13.4 billion to $13.55 billion. Just don’t lose perspective on the updated figures. That’s still 7% better than last year’s top line, at the midpoint of this year’s expected sales. Not bad. It’s also arguable the company is just making sure it’s able to top expectations.

This might help you muster the confidence to step into this falling stock: Despite the ticker’s continued selling, analysts aren’t deterred. The majority of them still rate Chewy shares a strong buy, with a consensus price target of $30.82. That’s more than 60% above the stock’s present price. Clearly, they’re seeing something most investors aren’t, although it might be more accurate to say the analyst community is looking past all the noise that’s distracting investors.

2. DraftKings

It’s not exactly a secret why DraftKings (NASDAQ: DKNG) shares have been struggling since early last year. Already facing slowing growth due to its sheer size, the online sports-betting brand has seen new competition enter the market. Namely, prediction market platform Kalshi began tiptoeing onto its turf in January 2025, with Polymarket moving into the same arena by the end of the year. Investors understandably panicked.
