High-Growth Investments

DocuSign, Inc.

DocuSign, Inc. (DOCU) offers a cloud-based platform that allows businesses and remote workers to develop, upload and send agreements virtually. The company’s eSignature technology has certainly been popular during the pandemic, as DocuSign has 100s of millions of users around the world and 745,000 paying customers.

As a result, DocuSign unveiled blowout results for its third quarter back on December 3. The company achieved third-quarter revenue of $382.9 million, or 53% year-over-year growth. That topped analysts’ expectations for $361.15 million. Third-quarter earnings per share soared 100% year-over-year to $0.22, smashing estimates for $0.13 per share by 69.2%.

The stock has grown more volatile in recent weeks, given the FDA approval of the COVID-19 vaccine and subsequent rollout here in the U.S. But here’s the truth: Remote work is here to stay. Companies have discovered that employees are more productive at home, and many are making remote work an ongoing option for many employees. So, the need for DocuSign’s cloud-based solutions will also persist.

And analysts agree: Fourth-quarter earnings estimates have been increased by 40% in the past month alone. Fourth-quarter earnings are now expected to jump 75% year-over-year, while revenue is forecast to grow 48.3% year-over-year. DOCU is a Moderately Aggressive buy below $268.

Logitech International SA

Logitech International SA (LOGI), as we discussed earlier, is benefiting from the surge in online gaming and folks’ efforts to set up home offices. Logitech’s products include keyboards, mice, iPad and tablet accessories, smartphone accessories, headsets, webcams, home security cameras, smart home devices, video conferencing tools and speakers, as well as advanced gaming gear.

During the company’s second quarter in fiscal year 2021, gaming product sales accounted for $182 million. Keyboards, video collaboration tools and pointing devices accounted for $145 million, $130 million and $120 million, respectively. Total second-quarter revenue soared 75% year-over-year to $1.26 billion. That crushed estimates for $834.55 million.

Thanks to strong demand for its products and the better-than-expected quarterly results, Logitech upped its outlook for fiscal year 2021. The company expects full-year revenue between 35% and 40%, compared to previous forecasts for 10% to 13%. Analysts have also upped earnings estimates for full-year 2021 by 72.4% in the past three months. LOGI is a Conservative buy below $103.

Novavax, Inc.

Novavax, Inc. (NVAX) develops vaccines for the toughest viruses in the world by utilizing its proprietary technology that uses genetic engineering and Matrix-M to boost biologic functions and create a positive immune response. The company’s COVID-19 vaccine is in Phase 3 clinical trials in the U.K. and late-stage trials are anticipated in the U.S. in the coming weeks.

While it appears that Novavax is falling behind other vaccine companies like Pfizer and Moderna, here’s what sets it apart: Novavax is also developing a vaccine for seasonal influenza, Nanoflu, and it’s currently in Phase 3 clinical trials. If approved by the FDA, Nanoflu could be combined with the company’s COVID-19 vaccine so folks would only need one shot during flu season. That could be a huge win for Novavax and a big step towards profitability for the company. NVAX is an Aggressive buy below $198.
