Stock Market Sell-Off: 2 Glorious Growth Stocks to Buy on the Dip, According to Wall Street

The S&P 500 is off to a rocky start to 2026, having declined by over 7% from its January peak. Investors are trimming their exposure to stocks and other risk assets amid rising economic uncertainty and ongoing geopolitical tensions in the Middle East, which have muddied the earnings outlook for corporate America.

But throughout history, the stock market has always recovered from periods of uncertainty, so this could be an opportunity for investors to scoop up shares in high-quality companies at a discount. CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Workiva (NYSE: WK) are two stocks worth considering — they are down 9% and 26% this year, respectively, but are packed with long-term potential.

The majority of the analysts tracked by The Wall Street Journal have given both stocks a buy rating, and their consensus price targets point to significant upside. Here’s why the Street’s bullishness might be justified.

CrowdStrike developed the Falcon cybersecurity platform, one of the industry’s few all-in-one solutions for enterprises. Businesses can choose from 33 different Falcon modules (products) that protect cloud networks, employee identities, endpoints (computers and devices), and everything in between, to create a custom cybersecurity solution that precisely meets their needs.

Falcon uses artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms to automate the entire cybersecurity process, and they are trained on over 1 trillion daily security events, so they are constantly learning and improving. CrowdStrike continues to expand Falcon’s capabilities, especially when it comes to protecting businesses using AI, because chatbots, agents, and other applications create entirely new attack surfaces for hackers to exploit.

For example, CrowdStrike launched Next-Gen Identity Security last August, which uses a “zero standing privileges” framework to revoke access to sensitive corporate assets for both human and digital identities when it is no longer needed. In other words, when an AI agent is deployed to complete a specific task, it must periodically verify its identity to maintain access to the business’s data and applications. Therefore, if a malicious actor hijacks an agent, they won’t have open-ended access to the business’s valuable assets.
