Growth stocks have been beaten down hard due to concerns over the economic slowdown. Given the widescale selling, several top TSX growth stocks are down more than 50% in one year. While we’re still in a weak economic environment, buying the dip in some high-quality names could help you accumulate significant wealth in the long-term.
So, if you have some spare cash on hand, consider buying these two growth stocks that could deliver multi-fold returns over the next decade.
Shopify
Shopify (TSX:SHOP)(NYSE:SHOP) is struggling to maintain its pace of growth amid a slowdown in e-commerce demand. Meanwhile, headwinds from inflation, increased competition, and pressure on margins from its aggressive investments continue to drag the stock down.
Given these challenges, Shopify stock has plunged nearly 73% this year. Further, it has lost about 78% of its value in just one year.
Though the weak macro environment and economic reopening could continue to pose challenges for Shopify, the considerable decline in its price suggests that negatives are priced in. Further, Shopify’s fundamentals remain strong, with its GMV (gross merchandise volume) growth outperforming broader markets.
Shopify continues to strengthen its social commerce platform by partnering with TikTok, Twitter, YouTube, and other major platforms. Adding more sales and marketing channels will likely drive its merchant base.
It’s worth mentioning that Shopify’s offline POS (point of sale) offerings are gaining traction, which is renewing optimism. Looking ahead, Shopify’s investments in POS will increase its scalability and drive its offline GMV. Further, its focus on expanding its fulfillment offerings and the acquisition of Deliverr bodes well for future growth.
Overall, Shopify is well-positioned to capitalize on the reacceleration of e-commerce and deliver solid returns over the next decade. Its investments in long-term growth initiatives, expansion of existing products in new geographies, and increased adoption of payment and capital offerings will likely support a price recovery.
