High-Growth Investments
Crocs, Inc.
Crocs, Inc. (CROX) is making its second-straight appearance on the Top 5 Stocks list this month—and for good reason: The footwear retailer has stunning forecasted earnings and sales growth, and it continues to benefit from positive analyst revisions. In fact, after Crocs posted record results for its third quarter, the analyst community increased fourth-quarter earnings estimates by nearly 17%.
For the third quarter, Crocs achieved earnings of $2.47 per share and revenue of $625.9 million, which represented 162.8% year-over-year earnings growth and 73% year-over-year revenue growth. Analysts were only expecting earnings of $1.88 per share, so Crocs topped estimates by 31.4%.
Looking forward, Crocs expects revenue to grow between 62% and 65% in fiscal year 2021. Considering that retail sales soared 1.7% in October, or the biggest gain since March, and are up 16.3% year-over-year, Crocs may even exceed these forecasts as the holiday shopping season heats up in the upcoming weeks. CROX is a Conservative buy below $188.

Endava PLC
Endava PLC (DAVA) was one of the newest additions to the High-Growth Investments Buy List last month, as the company has spectacular forecasted earnings and sales.

The company partners with financial, insurance, media, retail and telecommunications companies around the world. At the end of its fiscal year 2021, the company had operations in 23 locations globally.
On Tuesday morning, Endava topped analysts’ estimates for its first quarter in fiscal year 2022. Adjusted earnings surged 92.5% year-over-year to 28.3 million pounds, compared to 14.7 million pounds in the same quarter a quarter ago. Adjusted earnings per share came in at 0.49 pounds, topping analysts’ estimates for 0.43 pounds by 14%.
First-quarter revenue jumped 55% year-over-year to 147.5 million pounds, up from 95.1 million pounds. Endava noted that its “excellent results” were thanks in part to the addition of new clients who pay more than one million pounds on a yearly basis and continuing demand for digital services. The company now has 93 clients with more than one million pounds in revenue.
Looking forward to fiscal year 2022, Endava now expects revenue between 615 million pounds to 620 million pounds, which represents 40% to 41% annual revenue growth. Full-year earnings per share are forecast to be between 1.71 pounds and 1.76 pounds, compared to 1.30 pounds in 2021. DAVA is a Conservative buy below $168.

Full-year revenue is expected to increase 40% year-over-year, and earnings are now forecast to grow 38.6% year-over-year to $8.79 per share.

Extra Space Storage
Extra Space Storage (EXR), like our new addition CubeSmart, provides self-storage facilities across the U.S. Over the past 44 years, the company has grown to become the second-largest operator of self-storage units in the U.S., with more than 1,800 facilities in 40 states, Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico. At the end of the third quarter, Extra Space Storage had a 96.7% same-store occupancy rate.
Third-quarter earnings jumped 59.1% year-over-year to $1.40 per share, up from $0.88 per share in the same quarter last year. Analysts were expecting earnings of $1.22 per share, so Extra Space Storage topped estimates by 14.8%. The REIT also achieved core funds from operations (FFO) of $1.85 per share, which represented a 41% year-over-year increase.
Given the strength of its business and continuing demand for self-storage facilities, analysts have upped fourth-quarter earnings estimates over the past three months. Fourth-quarter earnings are now forecast to rise 5% year-over-year to $1.25 per share.
Also, like CubeSmart, Extra Space Storage is a real estate investment trust (REIT) and must return 90% of its earnings to shareholders in the form of dividends. It is expected to pay a fourth-quarter dividend of $1.25 per share in December, which is up nearly 39% from the $0.90 per share paid in the fourth quarter of 2020. The stock has a 2.5% dividend yield. EXR is a Conservative buy below $217.

TFI International, Inc.
TFI International, Inc. (TFII) was added to the High-Growth Investments Buy List in the November Monthly Issue due to its vast network of transportation and logistics services in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. The company’s network includes more than 14,800 truck drivers, as well as more than 560 facilities and more than 80 operating companies, that cover 80 North American cities.
Recently, the truck company released stunning results for its third quarter in fiscal year 2020. Third-quarter revenue surged 124% year-over-year to $2.09 billion, and adjusted earnings per share rose 55% year-over-year to $1.46. The consensus estimate called for adjusted earnings of $1.34 per share on $2.01 billion in sales, so TFII posted a 9% earnings surprise and a slight revenue surprise.
So far in 2021, TFI International has achieved total revenue of $5.08 billion and adjusted earnings of $349.7 million, or 91% year-over-year revenue growth and 69.5% year-over-year earnings growth. For the fourth quarter, analysts are expecting earnings to grow 22.4% year-over-year to $1.20 per share, up from $0.98 per share in the same quarter of 2020. TFII is a Conservative buy below $120.
