The S&P 500 and Nasdaq appear to be entering another rally toward the end of 2023. The October CPI report, which came out in mid-November, and other labor market data indicated that inflation and unemployment were easing, reducing the pressure on the Fed to raise interest rates further. This rally has led to the emergence of these growth stocks to buy.
With the macro environment less cloudy than it used to be, you may want to consider investing in compelling growth stocks that can deliver superior returns in the long run.
Here are three stocks with explosive growth prospects that deserve your attention.
CrowdStrike (CRWD)
CrowdStrike (NASDAQ:CRWD) is a leading provider of cloud-based endpoint protection and threat intelligence services. The company offers a comprehensive platform that leverages artificial intelligence, behavioral analytics, and threat intelligence to detect and prevent breaches. CrowdStrike reported impressive results for Q3 FY2024, beating analysts’ expectations on both revenue and earnings. The company grew its revenue by 34% year-over-year to $786 million, driven by strong demand for its subscription-based products and services.
Additionally, CrowdStrike saw strong growth for its AI-native Falcon XDR platform, which helps connect data from siloed security solutions so they can work together to improve threat visibility and reduce the length of time required to identify and respond to an attack.
Although the demand environment has not yet fully normalized for cybersecurity solutions, CrowdStrike has shown impressive growth and could continue to do so as the global economy improves. Shares have climbed more than 123% YTD, which exemplifies how holding this stock for the long term can contribute to significant wealth generation.

The company has ultimately come a long way from providing point solutions to offering a full-service platform. These financial results underscore how GitLab’s shift in gears has succeeded so far. Adopting novel technologies, including artificial intelligence and machine learning, will require an efficient software development process, and GitLab’s platform will benefit from the long-term demand there.
