Top 5 Growth Stocks To Watch Right Now


Thor Industries (NYSE: THO) manufactures a wide range of recreational vehicles (“RVs”) in the United States and sells those vehicles primarily in the United States and Canada. The RV market is continuing to grow and evolve. Owing an RV used to connote being older or retired, but that is changing. RV parks are starting to accommodate this new, younger demographic by adding gyms and more active options. We live in a world where consumers are spending their money on experiences rather than goods, and while RVs are goods, they are a good used to travel. Aside from this, consumer confidence is at its highest point since December 2000, which measures the degree of optimism people have on the state of the economy that consumers are expressing through their activities of savings and spending.

Thor had explosive growth in 2016, going from $55 to $100 and up to $115 in early 2017. After another positive quarter ending Jan 31, 2017, with sales up 63% from the same time a year ago, the stock price took a big hit going down to around $90 right now. The reason for this may have been because the growth was not as huge as some may have expected, so investors decided to take their profits. This pullback has made the stock extremely attractive and possibly undervalued.

Top 5 Growth Stocks To Watch Right Now: Nordstrom Inc.(JWN)


Advisors’ Opinion:

  • [By Jeremy Bowman]

    A lot has changed since then, however. J.C. Penney badly underperformed its own comparable sales target in the second half of 2016, as comparable sales fell instead of hitting the 3-4% mark the company had projected. Its peers continued to struggle — Macy’s(NYSE:M),Kohl’s(NYSE:KSS), andNordstrom(NYSE:JWN) all reported declining comps in the fourth quarter, and Macy’s said last year it would close 100 stores.

  • [By Adam Levine-Weinberg]

    Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN) returned to earnings growth last quarter, as the reduced corporate tax rate helped the upscale retailer post a double-digit increase in earnings per share. Investors still dumped Nordstrom stock in after-hours trading on Thursday, punishing the company for weak comparable-store sales growth.

    Nordstrom Inc. (NYSE: JWN) may reopen plans for a leveraged buyout after good holiday results. According to The Wall Street Journal:

    The failed effort by the Nordstrom family to take the namesake department store chain private will be remembered as a missed opportunity amid the selloff in retailers stocks last fall.

  • [By Mac Greer]

    They have a lot of things in the works. They’rekind of throwing some things at the wall and seeing what will stick. They have their Macy’s Backstage concept, which is their discount concept. Everyretailer has to have one nowadays, like a Nordstrom (NYSE:JWN)Rack, for example. Theyactually bought a concept store in New York City calledStory,which is a store that revamps its inventory every four to eight weeks to try to keep it fresh. That would be some Inventory management job. Their buyers have their work cut out for them. But, interesting. They’re trying a lot of different things.
