Growth Stock
Definition
A stock expected to grow earnings faster than the market.
Growth stocks belong to companies expanding revenue and earnings rapidly, often reinvesting profits rather than paying dividends. They trade at high valuations on expectations of future gains, offering big upside but greater volatility and risk if growth disappoints.
In a sentence
The growth stock plowed every dollar back into expansion instead of paying a dividend.
