<p><strong>Netflix Inc.</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NFLX#NASDAQ">NFLX</a>) Co-CEO&nbsp;<strong>Ted Sarandos</strong> on Thursday outlined why the streaming giant continues to hold an edge over <strong>YouTube</strong>, a subsidiary of <strong>Alphabet Inc.&#8217;s</strong> (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) <strong>Google</strong>.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>: During Netflix&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/10/41391637/netflix-q3-earnings-revenue-beats-eps-tops-q4-guidance-projects-subscriber-boost-from-squid-game-nf">third-quarter earnings</a> call, a question about&nbsp;YouTube&#8217;s growing share of TV&nbsp;consumption was raised.</p>
<p>In response, Sarandos highlighted Netflix&#8217;s commitment to investing in premium content to increase viewer engagement, stating, &#8220;Netflix is the best place&nbsp;for premium stories because we&#8217;re&nbsp;the home to the best&nbsp;storytellers.&#8221;</p>

<p>Regarding YouTube, he said, &#8220;When I look at YouTube specifically, I&#8217;d say look, we compete directly with YouTube for people&#8217;s time, for the time they spend on that TV screen. But we have very different strengths.&#8221;</p>
<p>Another, Netflix Co-CEO <strong>Greg Peters</strong> added that Netflix plays a crucial role for consumers seeking high-quality movies and TV shows, and for creators looking for partners willing to share the inherent risks of bringing stories to life.</p>
<p>&#8220;A Hundred Years of Solitude, Senna, both coming from Latin America, which are huge, ambitious projects. It&#8217;s hard to imagine how those kind of big creative bets would be possible with YouTube&#8217;s model,&#8221; Peters stated.</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters</strong>: Netflix&#8217;s third-quarter financial results showed a 15% year-over-year increase in revenue, beating Street consensus estimates.</p>
<p>Moreover, Netflix&#8217;s recent foray into live sports programming indicates a strategic shift from its traditional on-demand model. This move aims to capture high-impact moments and the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/10/41395213/netflixs-200b-hour-problem-why-live-sports-are-just-a-drop-in-the-streaming-ocean">excitement of global live events</a>, further enhancing viewer engagement.</p>
<p>During the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/earnings/24/07/39849026/netflix-q2-earnings-highlights-revenue-beat-eps-beat-advertising-revenue-more-meaningful-squid-game" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">second-quarter earnings</a> call, Netflix executives were asked questions about YouTube.</p>
<p>At the time, Sarandos&nbsp;said, &#8220;So our two services — us and YouTube represent about 50% of all streaming to the TV in the U.S. and we use the U.S. only because that's where we have the data.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;So really what we're focused on here is focusing ourselves on that other 80% of total TV time that isn't going to either us or YouTube,&#8221; he said in July.</p>

<p>In a recent interview, former President <strong>Donald Trump</strong> advocated for a significant increase in import tariffs, a move that was slammed by Nobel winning economist Paul Krugman in a recent opinion piece.</p>
<p><strong>What Happened: </strong>Trump, known for imposing substantial tariffs during his presidency, is now suggesting tariffs as high as 20 percent, including a 60 percent tariff on imports from China. Economists have voiced their opposition to these proposals, warning that such high tariffs could harm the economy, according to Krugman in his New York Times column. He said he shared a similar view.</p>
<p>The economist also shared the column through X and asked, &#8220;Are Trump's tariff ideas really that bad? No, they're worse.&#8221;</p>

<p>The former president believes that these high tariffs would reduce U.S. trade deficits and stimulate domestic manufacturing. However, this approach has been widely criticized by economists, who argue that the tariffs would not achieve these goals.</p>
<p>Opining on why Trump favored Tariffs, Krugman wrote, &#8220;It has never been entirely clear why Trump has a thing for tariffs. My guess is that he sees everything in terms of winners, losers and punishment.&#8221;</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs, if implemented, could potentially turn the clock back 90 years, raising overall tariffs to levels not seen since the era of the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act.</p>
<p>Trump&#8217;s proposed tariffs were framed as a plan, they were likely to raise living costs by about 3 to 4 percent, disproportionately affecting middle- and lower-income families. Economists generally agreed that these tariffs would not boost American manufacturing or reduce the trade deficit, and could ultimately harm the economy by increasing global poverty and creating market fragmentation, said Krugman.</p>
<p>&#8220;What the tariffs would do is shrink our economy. They would cause us to sell less of the goods we currently export — that is, stuff we're relatively good at producing — and more stuff we aren't that good at producing. The effect would be to make the economy less efficient and poorer,&#8217; wrote the Economist.</p>
<p>He warned, &#8220;The Trump tariffs could cause a spike in global poverty — and, it's easy to imagine, global conflict.&#8221;</p>

<p><strong>Why It Matters: </strong>Trump&#8217;s tariff strategy has been a topic of discussion among economists and business leaders. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41371990/trump-cant-impose-tariffs-on-china-says-peter-schiff-he-can-only-impose-tariffs-on-americans-who">Peter Schiff</a>, a renowned economist, criticized Trump&#8217;s approach, stating that tariffs would only affect Americans who buy Chinese products.</p>
<p>Similarly, billionaire <strong>Mark Cuban</strong> <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41348822/mark-cuban-says-he-knows-what-trump-wants-to-achieve-with-tariffs-but-the-ex-president-has-no-idea-w">expressed his skepticism</a> about Trump&#8217;s approach to revitalizing U.S. manufacturing through tariffs. In a post, Cuban argued that Trump does not understand what it takes to achieve his goals.</p>
<p>Trump defended his tariff strategy during an <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/politics/24/10/41344136/trump-goes-on-the-defense-about-massive-effect-of-tariffs-economic-growth-putin-relationship-djt">interview</a> at the Economic Club of Chicago, stating that tariffs have a &#8220;massive effect.&#8221;</p>

Paul Krugman Warns Trump's Tariff Plan Could Rewind Economic Progress 90 Years and Ignite Global Conflict: 'He Sees Everything In Terms Of Winners, Losers And Punishment'

<p>Renowned analyst <strong>Ming-Chi Kuo</strong> has forecasted a potential pricing standoff in the semiconductor industry. </p>
<p><strong>What Happened</strong>:&nbsp;On Thursday, Kuo an analyst at&nbsp;<strong>TF Securities</strong> took&nbsp;to <strong>X</strong>, formerly <strong>Twitter</strong>, and said that market rumors indicate <strong>ASML Holding</strong>&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/ASML#NASDAQ">ASML</a>) could hike equipment prices for <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Co.&nbsp;Ltd.</strong>&nbsp;(NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSM#NYSE">TSM</a>).</p>
<p>However, Kuo anticipates that TSMC, the world&#8217;s largest contract chipmaker, and ASML&#8217;s biggest customer, will likely push back against these price increases.</p>

<p>ASML is the sole manufacturer&nbsp;of high-end extreme ultraviolet&nbsp;lithography systems, which are essential for creating advanced chips.</p>
<p>TSMC relies on ASML&#8217;s EUV&nbsp;technology to manufacture cutting-edge semiconductors&nbsp;for various clients, including tech behemoths like Apple and Nvidia.</p>
<p>Kuo&#8217;s comments suggest that TSMC&#8217;s likely&nbsp;push for price reductions from&nbsp;ASML could lead to a&nbsp;pricing standoff between the two&nbsp;companies.</p>

Nvidia Supplier TSMC Will Push Back Against ASML Rumored Price Hikes, Says Analyst — Potential Pricing Standoff Imminent In Semiconductor Industry?

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>Stocks under $20 usually provide a very good balance of upside potential and safety. I believe it is worth looking into many stocks in this range, as many have been battered and are about to make a turnaround. That&rsquo;s compared to many similar stocks in lower price ranges which may be up-and-coming startups that are just beginning to get big.</p>



<p>I believe once interest rate cuts start and the economy enters a new cycle in the coming quarters, investors could start taking a deeper look into the market. The best stocks under $20 would be among the first to rise. That&rsquo;s I think especially true for the following three, if they can maintain their current trajectory.</p>



<h2>Paysign (PAYS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/10/financial-chart-graphic-fintech-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Graphic of side view of virtual financial charts with tech aesthetic, symbolizing fintech"><div>Source: shutterstock.com/whiteMocca</div></div><p><strong>Paysign</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pays-stock-quote/"><strong>PAYS</strong></a>) is a leading fintech company that provides payment solutions for the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries. The stock has been on a tear lately, surging 66% over the past year despite the general malaise in the fintech sector. I believe this momentum can be sustained given Paysign&rsquo;s growth metrics, particularly in its patient affordability business.</p>



<p>In Q1 2024, Paysign&rsquo;s revenue <a target="_blank" href="https://www.morningstar.com/news/accesswire/859201msn/paysign-inc-reports-first-quarter-2024-financial-results">rose 30% year-over-year to $13.2 million</a>, while adjusted EBITDA skyrocketed 135% to $1.7 million. The patient affordability segment was the star of the show, with revenue exploding 305% to $2.4 million from just $590,000 a year ago. This division accounted for a whopping 59% of Paysign&rsquo;s total revenue growth.</p>



<p>Management noted that they added a net 10 new patient affordability programs in Q1, ending with 53 active programs. They&rsquo;ve also expanded into retail drug programs, which typically have higher claim volumes. With the sales pipeline remaining robust and productive meetings at the recent Asembia Summit, I expect the pharma segment&rsquo;s growth to accelerate further.</p>



<h2>QuickLogic (QUIK)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/semiconductor1600c-300x169.jpg" alt="AI. Circuit board. Technology background. Central Computer Processors CPU concept. Motherboard digital chip. Tech science background. Integrated communication processor. 3D illustration representing semiconductor stocks. Semiconductors Stocks to Sell"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>QuickLogic</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/quik-stock-quote/"><strong>QUIK</strong></a>) develops low-power customizable semiconductor and software solutions. Notably, QUICK stock has retreated 45% from this year&rsquo;s peak. However, I believe QuickLogic has significant upside potential. The company operates in many of today&rsquo;s hottest sectors.</p>



<p>In Q1, revenue grew an impressive <a href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/here-what-know-beyond-why-quicklogic-corporation-quik-trending-stock" target="_blank">45% year-over-year to $6.01 million</a>. These strong results were driven by a nearly 60% surge in new product sales, primarily from eFPGA IP contracts. However, the company is projecting a sequential decrease in Q2 revenue to around $4.5 million. This lower guidance is due to changes in how IP contract revenue is recognized. That said, this shift should push more revenue into the second half of 2024. The company is expected to see operating profits rise higher over time as well.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-20.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-20.png" alt="best stocks under $20: QUIK stock revenue EBIT chart"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>Despite the stock&rsquo;s recent dip, there&rsquo;s a lot to look forward to. QuickLogic&rsquo;s record $179 million sales funnel and pending significant eFPGA contract proposals give me confidence in the company&rsquo;s ability to deliver <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/QUIK/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">30% annual revenue growth</a> going forward. The company has also signed a $72 million radiation-hardened FPGA government contract. And impressively, this contract includes the likes of Honeywell Aerospace and SkyWater Technologies as partners. Plus, QuickLogic&rsquo;s subsidiary SensiML makes AI/ML software that could be in high demand. Add it all up, and this is a cheap stock worth buying right now. </p>



<h2>EZCORP (EZPW)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/07/pawn-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Man buying gold jewellry, pawn shop and us dollar banknotes"><div>Source: Miriam Doerr Martin Frommherz via Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>EZCORP</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ezpw-stock-quote/"><strong>EZPW</strong></a>) operates pawn shops in the U.S. and Latin America. I believe the stock is a compelling buy right now. Currently, EZPW stock trades at just $10 per share, with tremendous upside potential.</p>



<p>In Q2, EZCORP delivered record-setting results, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/investor-hub/2024/05/14/inflation-pinched-consumers-turn-to-ezpw-for-a-cash-infusion/">revenue up 10.5% to $285.6 million</a> and outstanding pawn loans surging 13% to $232 million. The challenging macroeconomic backdrop is actually benefiting the business, as cash-strapped consumers increasingly turn to pawn loans for short-term financing needs.</p>



<p>Moreover, EZCORP opened nine new stores in Latin America, while acquiring six locations in the U.S. With $229 million of cash on its balance sheet, EZCORP has ample dry powder to open even more stores.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-21.png"><img width="1026" height="364" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-21.png" alt="EZCORP Stores opened/closed chart"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>While EZCORP has historically been a volatile name, I&rsquo;m encouraged by the consistent improvement in key metrics like merchandise sales (+6%), gross profit (+10%), and adjusted EBITDA (+7%).</p>



<p>Plus, investments in adjacent fintech platforms like Rich Data Corporation could lead to more growth. Canaccord Genuity recently <a href="https://www.streetinsider.com/Analyst+Comments/EZCORP+%28EZPW%29+PT+Raised+to+%2418+at+Canaccord+Genuity+on+%27increased+estimates+and+a+modestly+higher+target+multiple%27/23070072.html" target="_blank">assigned</a> an $18 price target on EZPW stock, so the risk/reward setup looks attractive at current levels. EZCORP is proving pawn shops are still relevant. As such, I think EZPW stock is one of the best stocks under $20 to buy right now.</p>

The 3 Best Stocks Under $20 for Small Account Growth

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>With <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/growth-stocks/">growth stocks</a> under $5, the focal point is rather obvious: putting woodwork on the ball as aggressively as possible. Of course, swinging for the fences comes with significant risks. You can end up missing slightly and ruining a perfectly good opportunity to add in a run or two. Still, the rewards for getting it right are quite enticing.</p>



<p>When you&rsquo;re behind in the ballgame by a big score, you need a big inning. That&rsquo;s just the reality of the situation. In most other circumstances, you probably should adopt a more conservative approach. In other words, the very concept of growth stocks under $5 is narrow and thus speculative. You&rsquo;re hoping for capital gains. Dividends? Don&rsquo;t even bother.</p>



<p>Of course, one of the big advantages of &ldquo;cheap&rdquo; equities is the law of small numbers. A news event, even a minor one, could potentially yield significant upside. On the other hand, the opposite is also true. If you can handle the unpredictability, these are the growth stocks under $5 to consider.</p>



<h2>Elutia (ELUT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/07/healthcare-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Nurse holding a tablet with icons representing different aspects of healthcare and healthcare data representing CANO stock. Healthcare Tech Stocks. Healthcare Stocks to Buy"><div>Source: metamorworks / Shutterstock</div></div><p>Falling under the broad healthcare umbrella, <strong>Elutia</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/elut-stock-quote/"><strong>ELUT</strong></a>) specializes in medical devices. Specifically, it&rsquo;s a commercial-stage entity, developing and <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/ELUT/profile/">commercializing drug-eluting biologic products</a> for neurostimulation. In addition, it also focuses on wound care and breast reconstruction. Fundamentally, healthcare plays are always enticing because of the underlying permanence of the narrative.</p>



<p>Still, that doesn&rsquo;t guarantee upside for Elutia and the idea &ndash; being one of the growth stocks under $5 &ndash; carries risks. In particular, the company isn&rsquo;t profitable, incurring a loss per share of 59 cents during the past four quarters. What&rsquo;s worse, analysts anticipated an average loss per share of 38 cents in the period. That led to a negative &ldquo;earnings&rdquo; surprise of 64.35%.</p>



<p>However, where it redeems itself is in the top-line expansion. In the trailing 12 months (TTM), Elutia generated sales of $25.05 million. For fiscal 2024, experts are projecting revenue to hit $27.55 million. If so, that would be up 11.3% from the prior year. Also, in fiscal 2025, sales could rise to $39.05 million, up 41.7%.</p>



<h2>Archer Aviation (ACHR)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/achr1600-3-300x169.png" alt="Person holding mobile phone with web page of US eVTOL aircraft company Archer Aviation Inc. (ACHR) on screen with logo. Focus on center of phone display. Unmodified photo. Archer Aviation Stock Analysis"><div>Source: T. Schneider / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Operating in the aerospace and defense sector, <strong>Archer Aviation</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/achr-stock-quote/"><strong>ACHR</strong></a>) is best known for its work in electric vertical takeoff and landing (eVTOL) aircraft. Such vehicles could play a huge role in tomorrow&rsquo;s urban air mobility landscape. Mainly, the issue with the current use of helicopters is the pollution, both the emissions and the noise. However, eVTOLs may address both concerns.</p>



<p>What makes ACHR stock so intriguing is that electric vehicles are changing mobility, arguably for the better. The same may happen for the skies. Still, investors will need to exercise patience. In the past four quarters, Archer incurred a loss per share of 41 cents. This was worse than the experts&rsquo; consensus average view, which called for a loss of 32 cents per share.</p>



<p>However, the focus is on the top line. Right now, Archer is a pre-revenue enterprise. However, it&rsquo;s possible that by the end of this year, it may generate $2.25 million. In the following year, analysts see revenue hitting over $55 million, with a high-side estimate of $78 million. Thus, it&rsquo;s one of the growth stocks under $5 to consider.</p>



<h2>ADC Therapeutics (ADCT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/06/biotechnologyepzm1600-300x169.png" alt="OLK Stock. Modern Medical Research Laboratory: Two Scientists Wearing Face Masks use Microscope, Analyse Sample in Petri Dish, Talk. Advanced Scientific Lab for Medicine, Biotechnology. Blue Color. KZR stock. RSLS stock. Best Biotech Stocks to Buy"><div>Source: Gorodenkoff / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Conducting business in the biotechnology sphere, <strong>ADC Therapeutics</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/adct-stock-quote/"><strong>ADCT</strong></a>) focuses on advancing its proprietary antibody drug conjugate (<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/adc-stock-quote/"><strong>ADC</strong></a>) technology platform. Ultimately, it aims to transform the treatment paradigm for patients with hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. With oncology being a rapidly growing field, it&rsquo;s possible that ADC could carve out a viable niche.</p>



<p>As with many (if not most other) growth stocks under $5, patience will be critical. In the past four quarters, ADC incurred a loss per share of 69 cents. However, analysts were hoping for a loss of only 54 cents per share. Bad misses in the second quarter and Q4 2023 led to a negative &ldquo;earnings&rdquo; surprise of 31.05%.</p>



<p>Even the growth area is encountering some friction, with the latest quarterly sales growth (year-over-year) rate coming out to 4.9% below breakeven. That said, experts are looking for a recovery later this year. Sales could hit $77.82 million, which would be up 11.9% from last year. In fiscal 2025, analysts are aiming for $90.53 million, up 16.3%.</p>



<h2>PaySign (PAYS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/pays-stock-1-300x169.jpg" alt="a stack of three credit cards representing payments stocks to buy"><div>Source: Teerasak Ladnongkhun / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Based in Henderson, Nevada, <strong>PaySign</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pays-stock-quote/"><strong>PAYS</strong></a>) operates in the infrastructure software space. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/PAYS/profile/">Per its public profile</a>, PaySign provides prepaid card programs. It also brings to the table patient affordability offerings (for the healthcare sector), digital banking services and integrated payment processing solutions. With so much flexibility in the transactional ecosystem, PaySign may be able to resonate with a core group of clients.</p>



<p>While patience will still be required for PAYS stock &ndash; since it&rsquo;s very much a speculative idea &ndash; the positive here is that the company is bring some substance to the table. In the trailing year, PaySign posted an average earnings per share of 2 cents. This beat out the consensus view of 1 cent.</p>



<p>In the TTM period, PaySign posted net income of $6.93 million on sales of $50.32 million. Looking out to the end of the year, analysts are hoping for sales of $56.82 million. If so, that would imply a growth rate of 20.2%. Further, fiscal 2025 sales could hit $63.91 million, up 12.5%. Therefore, it&rsquo;s a solid candidate for growth stocks under $5.</p>



<h2>Grab (GRAB)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/shutterstock_1922313167-300x169.png" alt="Motorcycle helmet with Grab logo on a motorcycle parked at the road side"><div>Source: Nor Sham Soyod / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p>Easily one of the most exciting plays among growth stocks under $5, <strong>Grab</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/grab-stock-quote/"><strong>GRAB</strong></a>) made its public market debut in Dec. 2020. To be fair, the Singapore-based enterprise &ndash; which focuses on providing super apps in key emerging markets in Southeast Asia &ndash; hasn&rsquo;t enjoyed the best debut. As of this moment, GRAB stock is down more than 71% lifetime. However, that could change for the better.</p>



<p>Sure, its financial state isn&rsquo;t the most promising. In the past year, the company posted a loss per share of 2 cents. On average, that&rsquo;s exactly what experts were anticipating. However, it&rsquo;s worth noting that the individual quarterly performances have been mixed: some quarters saw big gains and others saw huge losses relative to expectations.</p>



<p>Still, in the most recent quarter, the sales growth rate clocked in at an impressive 24.4%. In the TTM period, revenue stood at $2.49 billion. For fiscal 2024, experts believe that the top line could expand by 17.8% to $2.78 billion. And in the following year, revenue could rise to $3.24 billion. It&rsquo;s a top-tier speculative idea for growth stocks under $5.</p>



<h2>PowerFleet (AIOT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/iot1600a-min-300x169.jpg" alt='A close-up shot of a tablet screen with "IOT" text and related emoticons in a connected web.'><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>Headquartered in Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey, <strong>PowerFleet</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aiot-stock-quote/"><strong>AIOT</strong></a>) conducts work in the infrastructure software ecosystem. <a href="https://finance.yahoo.com/quote/AIOT/profile/">Per its corporate profile</a>, PowerFleet provides Internet-of-Things (IoT) solutions in the U.S., Israel and other international markets. Specifically, it offers cloud-based applications data from IoT devices to present actionable information for customers. This process helps increase efficiencies and improves safety and security.<br><br>With so much data migrating to cloud networks, PowerFleet may become a relevant niche player. As with many other ideas for growth stocks under $5, patience will be required. In the past four quarters, the company posted a loss per share of 8 cents. However, analysts during this time expected an average loss of 6 cents.</p>



<p>No matter &ndash; the focus is on what the company can do moving forward. Revenue in the TTM period came in at $133.74 million and it could go much higher. Already, it&rsquo;s on pace to slightly exceed the fiscal 2024 sales target. What&rsquo;s more, in fiscal 2025, analysts believe that revenue could soar to $292.05 million, up 119%. This is one to keep on the radar.</p>



<h2>National CineMedia (NCMI)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/movie-theater-300x169.jpg" alt="An empty movie theater."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p>Arriving at the final and most speculative &ndash; some might say irrational &ndash; idea for growth stocks under $5, <strong>National CineMedia</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/ncmi-stock-quote/"><strong>NCMI</strong></a>) operates in the communication services sector, specifically under advertising agencies. Long story short, the company runs a cinema advertising and entertainment show. It&rsquo;s the stuff you see on screen before the trailers.</p>



<p>Of course, this is where investors may start tuning out. NCMI stock is risky, there&rsquo;s no getting around this point. It&rsquo;s not just about the company losing 29 cents per share on average in the past year. And it&rsquo;s also not about experts anticipating a loss of 27 cents during the period. Rather, the box office just doesn&rsquo;t have the same allure as it used to during the pre-streaming era.</p>



<p>At the same time, people still are going to the movies. Certain blockbusters draw big crowds and that&rsquo;s where National Cinemedia could regain its relevance. Further, analysts expect big things, forecasting sales to hit $242.63 million by year&rsquo;s end. If so, that would imply nearly 47% up from last year.</p>



<p>Also, fiscal 2025 revenue could rise to $282.69 million, up 16.5%. If you want to gamble, NCMI may be your ticker.</p>

7 Growth Stocks to Buy for Under $5 for Massive Gains

<p><a href="https://investorplace.com">InvestorPlace - Stock Market News, Stock Advice &amp; Trading Tips</a></p>
<p>The broader market rally has left many investors wondering if there are any <a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-types/growth-stocks/">growth stocks</a> to buy before a correction. I believe that there absolutely are. Despite the run-up, a number of high-potential growth stocks remain undervalued. Their fundamentals have only gotten stronger.</p>



<p>I believe these stocks are poised for a major bounce-back over the next 12 months. Several have already begun to recover. Now may be the time to establish a position before they really take off.</p>



<p>Investing just $1,000 across these picks could generate market-beating returns. A few even have the potential to become multi-baggers. That means a relatively small investment today might lead to very sizable gains.</p>



<p>Here are seven to look into:</p>



<h2>Bombardier (BDRBF)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/bdrbd1600-300x169.png" alt="BOMBARDIER sign is seen during the 12th China International Aviation and Aerospace Exhibition, also known as Airshow China 2018. BDRBD stock"><div>Source: testing / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Bombardier</strong> (OTCMKTS:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/bdrbf-stock-quote/"><strong>BDRBF</strong></a>) designs and manufactures business jets for corporations, governments, and wealthy individuals. The Canadian aerospace company has been on a roll lately, with its stock price surging over 78% so far in 2024. I believe Bombardier is well-positioned to benefit from the ongoing boom in private aviation and increased defense spending.</p>



<p>In the first quarter, Bombardier <a target="_blank" href="https://www.westerninvestor.com/national-business/bombardier-boosts-order-backlog-even-as-global-demand-for-business-jets-softens-8650865">grew its order backlog to $14.9 billion</a>. The company also expanded margins and is on track to deliver 150-155 aircraft this year, up from 138 in 2023. Bombardier&rsquo;s high-margin aftermarket service revenues jumped 13% year-over-year in Q1.</p>



<p>Analysts are quite bullish on the stock, with <a target="_blank" href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/bdrbd/forecast">8 out of 11 rating it a &ldquo;Buy.&rdquo;</a> I personally believe that this stock could cross $100.</p>



<p>Last week, Bombardier <a href="https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/kitchener-waterloo/bombardier-aircraft-assembly-workers-strike-ends-1.7259630" target="_blank">reached</a> a new 3-year labor deal with its union, ending an 18-day strike. The company is also doing its part for the environment, installing thousands of solar panels to slash emissions at its London service center. Thus, the company looks poised to hit its 2025 targets of $9 billion in revenue and $1.6 billion in EBITDA, making it among the best growth stocks to buy.</p>



<h2>Paysign (PAYS)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/02/money-transfer-coins-fintech-300x169.png" alt="An image of two cellphones with coins flying from one screen into the other. Fintech Growth Stocks"><div>Source: kentoh/Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Paysign</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/pays-stock-quote/"><strong>PAYS</strong></a>) is a leading provider of prepaid card programs and integrated payment processing solutions. The company has been making waves lately with impressive financial results and a promising growth trajectory. In the first quarter of 2024, Paysign&rsquo;s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.nasdaq.com/articles/3-best-stocks-under-20-small-account-growth#:~:text=Paysign%20(PAYS)&amp;text=In%20Q1%202024%2C%20Paysign%27s%20revenue,just%20%24590%2C000%20a%20year%20ago.">revenue surged 30% year-over-year to $13.2 million</a>, beating analyst estimates. Net income turned positive at $309,000, a significant improvement from the net loss in the same period last year.</p>



<p>I believe Paysign is well-positioned to capitalize on the megatrend of digital payments and the tailwinds of increasing healthcare spending. The company&rsquo;s focus on the healthcare industry, particularly its rapidly expanding patient affordability business, sets it apart. It has a pipeline of new programs and partnerships with major pharmaceutical companies. As such, I&rsquo;m not surprised to see that Paysign&rsquo;s patient affordability revenue skyrocketed by 305% in Q1 2024.</p>



<p>Analysts are bullish on Paysign&rsquo;s prospects. The stock is rated a strong buy with a <a href="https://www.tipranks.com/stocks/pays/forecast" target="_blank">21% upside potential</a>. As interest rate cuts take effect and transaction volumes rise, I expect Paysign&rsquo;s growth to accelerate further.</p>



<h2>IAC (IAC)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/iac-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for IAC is seen at the top of an office building."><div>Source: Black Pebble / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>IAC</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/iac-stock-quote/"><strong>IAC</strong></a>) is a media and internet company that owns brands like Dotdash Meredith, Care.com, and Angi. It also just inked a deal with <strong>OpenAI</strong> to license Dotdash Meredith&rsquo;s trusted content like People, Food &amp; Wine, and Better Homes &amp; Gardens. This partnership should translate into high-margin profits as OpenAI pays IAC for the rights to enhance its AI models with this premium content.</p>



<p>In Q1 2024, IAC <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/IAC/earnings" target="_blank">beat earnings estimates</a> with earnings per share of -34 cents vs the -76 cents expected, though revenue of $929.68 million slightly missed estimates. Analysts seem to agree that IAC is on the right track, with TD Cowen reiterating a buy rating and a $78 price target, viewing IAC as significantly undervalued. Improving EPS should send the stock higher, even if revenue stays sluggish.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-78.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-78.png" alt="Growth Stocks: IAC financial estimates"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>The upside potential looks compelling if IAC can deliver on the promise of its OpenAI deal and other initiatives. Count me optimistic on IAC&rsquo;s prospects to ride the AI megatrend to new heights in the category of growth stocks to buy.</p>



<h2>Celsius Holdings (CELH)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/10/celh1600-300x169.jpg" alt="three energy drinks contrasted against a white background"><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Celsius Holdings</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/celh-stock-quote/"><strong>CELH</strong></a>) sells functional energy drinks and liquid supplements. The stock has plummeted nearly 50% from its 2024 highs amid concerns about slowing growth and high valuation.</p>



<p>I believe this selloff is overdone and presents a compelling buying opportunity for long-term investors. Celsius is well-positioned to capitalize on the megatrends of health and wellness, functional beverages, and fitness. The company reported record <a target="_blank" href="https://finance.yahoo.com/news/celsius-holdings-inc-surpasses-first-113241408.html#:~:text=For%20Q1%202024%2C%20Celsius%20Holdings,significant%20gains%20in%20international%20markets.">Q1 revenue of $355.7 million, up 37% year-over-year</a>, and expects to benefit from expanded distribution through its PepsiCo partnership.</p>



<p>Analysts <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/CELH/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">forecast</a> Celsius&rsquo; earnings per share to double over the next two years, with sales projected to increase around 30% annually through 2026. If Celsius can execute on these growth targets while riding the tailwinds of its key market trends, I see significant upside potential for the stock to bounce back strongly in the coming years. The recent dip looks like an attractive entry point for investors willing to hold through any near-term volatility. The analyst price target is also very bullish for a company of this size.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-79.png"><img width="1226" height="455" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-79.png" alt="CELH price target"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>And I can understand why:</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-80.png"><img width="1200" height="628" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-80.png" alt="CELH financial estimates"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>Of course, risks remain. But for those who believe in Celsius&rsquo; long-term story, now may be the time to take a swig of this beaten-down beverage stock.</p>



<h2>Sea Limited (SE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/sea-limited-1600-300x169.png" alt="The logo for Sea Limited is seen on a web browser through a magnifying glass."><div>Source: Postmodern Studio / Shutterstock.com</div></div><p><strong>Sea Limited</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/se-stock-quote/"><strong>SE</strong></a>) is a tech conglomerate that operates in Southeast Asia. I&rsquo;ve been bullish on this company for around a year now, and I&rsquo;m pleased to see the stock making some positive moves recently. In Q1 2024, Sea posted a strong <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-14/singapore-s-sea-tops-estimates-as-online-shoppers-boost-spending" target="_blank">23% year-over-year revenue growth to $3.7 billion</a>, though it did report a net loss of $23 million. The company&rsquo;s e-commerce arm, Shopee, achieved record high orders, GMV, and revenue, while its SeaMoney financial services business saw significant user growth. Sea&rsquo;s gaming unit Garena also rebounded, with its Free Fire game being the most downloaded mobile game globally in Q1.</p>



<p>I believe Sea remains well-positioned to be the &ldquo;Amazon of Southeast Asia&rdquo; with its strong market presence in the region&rsquo;s fast-growing economies. Analysts are optimistic, <a href="https://seekingalpha.com/symbol/SE/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">projecting</a> EPS to jump from $2 in 2024 to $5.65 in 2026, along with sustained double-digit revenue growth. While there may be short-term fluctuations, the long-term prospects for Sea look bright as it rides the tailwinds of e-commerce and gaming growth in Southeast Asia and is one of the best growth stocks to buy in the region.</p>



<h2>Direct Digital Holdings (DRCT)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/digital-advertising-1600-300x169.jpg" alt="Close up hand holding mobile with Digital Advertising and icons, Digital Marketing concept. digital ad stocks"><div>Source: weedezign via Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>Direct Digital Holdings</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/drct-stock-quote/"><strong>DRCT</strong></a>) operates an advertising and marketing technology platform. The company&rsquo;s stock has plunged nearly 87% since peaking in March, but I believe it may have bottomed out near its historical resistance level. At current prices, the potential upside outweighs the downside risk.</p>



<p>Analysts <a href="http://seekingalpha.com/symbol/DRCT/earnings/estimates" target="_blank">expect</a> margins to expand swiftly, with EPS rising from 26 cents this year to 41 cents next year, accompanied by double-digit revenue growth. The company recently announced partnerships with Amazon Publisher Services and HPE GreenLake, which should attract more demand to its Colossus SSP platform and boost performance. Rate cuts could also boost earnings significantly due to its interest expenses being high.</p>



<div><a href="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-81.png"><img width="1200" height="850" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/chart-81.png" alt="How Direct Digital Holdings Makes Its Money"><br>Click to Enlarge</a><div>Source: Chart courtesy of <a href="https://GuruFocus.com">GuruFocus.com</a></div></div><p>These positive catalysts make me believe Direct Digital Holdings could soar once again over the next year. The digital advertising megatrend provides a strong tailwind. And with its shares trading at a fraction of their March high, now may be an opportune time for risk-tolerant investors to start a position.</p>



<h2>ATRenew (RERE)</h2>



<div><img width="300" height="169" src="https://investorplace.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/04/digital-payment-300x169.jpg" alt="A concept image of mobile payment with a smart phone for a cup of coffee."><div>Source: Shutterstock</div></div><p><strong>ATRenew</strong> (NYSE:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/rere-stock-quote/"><strong>RERE</strong></a>) operates the largest pre-owned consumer electronics transactions and services platform in China. The company has been making strides lately, with <a href="https://www.investing.com/news/stock-market-news/earnings-call-atrenew-reports-robust-q1-growth-plans-expansion-93CH-3448885" target="_blank">total revenues growing 27.1% year-over-year to RMB3.65 billion</a> in Q1 2024 and non-GAAP operating income reaching RMB80.2 million. I believe ATRenew&rsquo;s stock&mdash;which has traded between $1-$3 for the past two years&mdash;is primed for a breakout in the next 12 months as fundamentals continue to improve. </p>



<p>Management is optimistic about future growth, citing increasing recycling opportunities driven by government action plans and rising demand for used products in China.</p>



<p>Partnerships with major players like <strong>JD.com</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/jd-stock-quote/"><strong>JD</strong></a>) and <strong>Apple</strong> (NASDAQ:<a href="https://investorplace.com/stock-quotes/aapl-stock-quote/"><strong>AAPL</strong></a>) are fueling ATRenew&rsquo;s product revenue growth. The company&rsquo;s multi-category recycling business is also taking off, with transaction value quadrupling year-over-year in Q1. Analysts seem bullish, too &ndash; Zacks recently <a href="https://scr.zacks.com/news/news-details/2024/RERE-INITIATION-Leading-Recycling-Platform-in-Chinas-Burgeoning-Circular-Economy/default.aspx" target="_blank">introduced</a> 2024 and 2025 adjusted EPS estimates of 25 cents and 38 cents for ATRenew, implying 90% growth this year and 50%+ next year. </p>



<p>With RMB2.6 billion in cash, a share buyback program underway, and potential dividends on the horizon, I think ATRenew trades well-positioned among growth stocks to buy in order to ride the tailwinds of China&rsquo;s push toward a circular economy in the coming years.</p>
