Top 10 Growth Stocks To Invest In Right Now


Shares of LivePerson (NASDAQ:LPSN) hit all-time highs on Thursday after posting fresh financial results following Wednesday’s market close. The record day didn’t start out that way. The provider of high-tech customer support initially opened lower following its second-quarter report, as bears fretting about LivePerson’s reduced bottom-line guidance for the whole year seemed to have the upper hand over the bulls cheering on a boost to its top-line outlook. The pessimism didn’t last long.

Total revenue is clocking in at $61.7 million for the second quarter, matching the 14% top-line growth that it scored in the first quarter. Once again you have to go back to 2015 to find the last time that revenue was growing at a double-digit percentage clip. This is the fourth straight quarter of growth at LivePerson, a streak that follows a rough six-quarter stretch of top-line declines. LivePerson’s guidance three months ago was calling for just $59 million to $60 million in revenue for the period.
