Navellier Top 5 Stocks for April

High-Growth Investments

Ciena Corporation

Ciena Corporation (CIEN) was a new addition to the High-Growth Investments Buy List in the March 2026 Monthly Issue. If you recall, the company is a global leader in connectivity, providing optical networking systems and software to help its customers thrive in the AI economy. Simply put, Ciena builds adaptive networks that support increasing bandwidth demand.

And the company is experiencing strong demand for its services.

During its first quarter in fiscal year 2026, revenue rose 33% year-over-year to $1.43 billion, and adjusted earnings soared 111% year-over-year to $1.35 per share. The consensus estimate called for revenue of $1.4 billion and adjusted earnings of $1.17 per share, so Ciena posted a slight revenue surprise and a 15.4% earnings surprise.

Ciena noted that it ended the quarter with a record backlog and anticipated strong results throughout 2026. As a result, the company forecasts total revenue of about $1.5 billion for the second quarter, or 40.2% year-over-year revenue growth.

Given the strong outlook, analysts have upped second-quarter earnings estimates by 20.7% in the past month. Earnings are now forecast to surge 247.6% year-over-year to $1.46 per share, compared to $0.42 per share in the second quarter of 2025. CIEN is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $472.

Comfort Systems USA, Inc.

Comfort Systems USA, Inc. (FIX) focuses primarily on providing electrical, mechanical and plumbing systems for the electrical and mechanical services industry in the U.S. The company boasts that it is a “single source provider” for all of its clients’ construction project needs (engineering and design, prefabrication and manufacturing, etc.), as well as speeds up HVAC and electrical modular construction, provides maintenance and services and offers custom solutions.

Government spending on data centers and semiconductor manufacturing facilities continues to boost demand for Comfort Systems services. The company ended 2025 with a backlog of $11.94 billion, which was up from $5.99 billion at the end of 2024.

Fourth-quarter earnings soared 126.7% year-over-year to $330.8 million, or $9.37 per share, compared to $145.9 million, or $4.09 per share, in the same quarter a year ago. Analysts expected earnings of $6.75 per share, so Comfort Systems posted a 38.8% earnings surprise.

Looking ahead to the first quarter in fiscal year 2026, the current consensus estimate calls for earnings to grow 43.4% year-over-year to $6.81 per share and for revenue to rise 30.6% year-over-year to $2.39 billion. Analysts have also revised earnings estimates 16.4% higher in the past month, which bodes well for a fifth-straight quarterly earnings surprise. FIX is a Conservative buy below $1,532.

Seagate Technology Holding plc

Seagate Technology Holding plc (STX) develops AI-capable hard drives better than any other company. It’s a global leader in storage, providing more than four zettabytes of capacity that covers the cloud, the edge and endpoint devices. Thanks to ongoing demand for its hard drives, especially from data centers, Seagate Technology continues to exceed analyst expectations.

For its second quarter in fiscal year 2026, Seagate Technology reported total revenue of $2.83 billion and earnings of $3.11 per share. That represented 21.5% year-over-year revenue growth and 53.2% year-over-year earnings growth. Analysts expected revenue of $2.76 billion and earnings of $2.84 per share.

The company also provided a positive outlook for the third quarter. Revenue is forecast to come in at about $2.9 billion, and earnings per share are expected to be between $3.20 and $3.60. And thanks to the strong outlook, analysts have increased earnings estimates by 22.2% in the past three months.

The consensus estimate now calls for earnings of $3.47 per share and revenue of $2.94 billion, representing 36% year-over-year revenue growth and 82.6% year-over-year earnings growth. As you know, positive analyst revisions typically precede future earnings surprises. STX is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $446.
