High-Growth Investments
DocuSign, Inc.
DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU) is one of the hottest stocks in the Growth Investor Buy Lists, as the stock has climbed an impressive 60% in the past four months. The reality is that the company has fared well during the global pandemic given that many folks are afraid to sign documents; whether it’s a reluctance to visit an office or the potential for germs on pens.
As a result, many have turned to DocuSign to utilize their e-signature technologies. You may recall that DocuSign offers a cloud-based platform that enables businesses and individuals to develop, upload, sign and send agreements and documents virtually. And its technology can be integrated with several solutions, including Salesforce and Workday.
So, it’s not surprising that DocuSign posted incredible results for its second quarter in fiscal year 2021. The company reported total revenue of $342.2 million and earnings of $0.17 per share, which represented 45% annual revenue growth and 1,600% annual earnings growth. Analysts were expecting earnings of $0.08 per share, so DocuSign posted a whopping 112.5% earnings surprise.
Following the better-than-expected earnings report, analysts started to up their third-quarter earnings outlook. Earnings are now expected to grow 18.2% year-over-year to $0.13 per share, and revenue is forecast to rise 44.6% year-over-year to $360.87 million. DOCU is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $235.

Genmab A/S
Genmab A/S (GMAB) is a biotechnology company that’s focused on developing antibody therapeutics to treat cancer. Currently, Genmab has two products on the market: DARZALEX, or Daratumumab, to treat multiple myeloma and Arzerra, or Ofatumumab, to treat specific indications of chronic lymphocytic leukemia.
Recently, Janssen Biotech, Inc. submitted a supplemental Biologics License Application (sBLA) for Genmab’s DARZALEX FASPRO with the FDA. The application will be reviewed by the FDA under Project Orbis and RTOR pilot program to determine if the treatment is a viable option for adults with light-chain (AL) amyloidosis. With the submission of the sBLA, Genmab receives an $8 million milestone payment.
Thanks to rising demand for its antibody therapeutics, vast clinical pipeline and strategic partnership with AbbVie, Genmab has strong forecasted sales growth and earnings estimates have been revised higher over the past three months. Third-quarter sales are expected to soar 55.8% year-over-year to $241.41 million. Earnings per share estimates have been upped 91.7% in the past three months, which bodes well for a third-straight quarterly earnings surprise. GMAB is a Conservative buy below $39.

Novavax, Inc.
Novavax, Inc. (NVAX) was one of our September additions to the High-Growth Investments Buy List. If you recall, the company develops vaccines for the toughest viruses in the world. Novavax currently has a strong pipeline of vaccine candidates, including several that are in Phase 2 and 3 clinical trials. But its coronavirus vaccine candidate is one of the main reasons why we added the stock to the Buy List.
Novavax’s vaccine candidate is being funded by both the federal government through Operation Warp Speed and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Thanks to positive Phase 1 results, the company has started multiple Phase 2 clinical trials, including in the U.S. and Australia. And Canada recently announced that it will purchase up to 76 million doses of Novavax’s vaccine.
Given the success of its early clinical trials and countries knocking on its door for the approved vaccine, the analyst community has aggressively increased their third-quarter earnings outlook. Analysts are expecting earnings of $1.83 per share, up from previous estimates for an earnings per share loss of $0.10. As you know, positive earnings revisions typically precede future earnings surprises. NVAX is an Aggressive buy below $181.

Quidel Corporation
With more primary schools and universities opening their doors, the need for coronavirus testing kits is growing exponentially. In fact, my daughter attends Cornell University, and they continually check her for the virus (negative results each time). One of the biggest beneficiaries of all the coronavirus testing is our own Quidel Corporation (QDEL), which developed the SARS-CoV-2 test for COVID-19.
According to a recent article from Reuters, U.S. manufacturers are ramping up production on COVID-19 tests, looking to achieve 100 million test each month by the end of year. Quidel, along with Abbott Labs, Becton Dickinson & Co. and LumiraDX, all received authorization for their antigen tests. Quidel actually received an emergency use authorization (EUA) from the FDA for its SARS-CoV-2 test earlier this year.
As a result, analysts are anticipating blowout third-quarter results. The consensus estimate calls for earnings of $4.06 per share, or 480% annual earnings growth, and revenue of $394.28 million. Analysts have also increased earnings by an incredible 80.4% in the past three months, so a fifth-straight quarterly earnings surprise is likely. QDEL is an Aggressive buy below $237.

Zoom Video Communications, Inc.
Zoom Video Communications, Inc. (ZM) has certainly been one of the biggest beneficiaries of the global pandemic, as its online video and audio conference call platform has been a primary tool for companies to continue to do business. In fact, ZM shares defied broader market weakness earlier this week when the U.K. imposed a new round of restrictions and encouraged citizens to work from home. ZM shares are up more than 65% in the past four weeks alone, versus the S&P 500’s 6% decline.
Part of this strength came on the heels of a stunning second-quarter earnings reports. For its second quarter in fiscal year 2021, Zoom achieved revenue of $663.5 million and earnings of $274.8 million, or $0.92 per share, which represented 355% annual revenue growth and 1,045% annual earnings growth. The consensus estimate called for earnings of $0.45 per share, so Zoom posted an incredible 104.4% earnings surprise.
Looking forward, I expect Zoom to continue to outperform the broader market and its peers, as demand remains strong for its platform for the foreseeable future. And I’m not alone. The analyst community has increased third-quarter earnings estimates by 123.5% in the past three months. For its third quarter in fiscal year 2021, earnings are expected to surge 744% year-over-year to $0.76 per share and revenue is forecast to soar 315.4% year-over-year to $692.05 million. ZM is an Aggressive buy below $601.
