4 Top Robinhood Growth Stocks to Buy in November

With the rising number of coronavirus cases and the recent dip on vaccine news, the ‘stay-at-home’ stocks are interesting to consider. While not all companies listed on the Robinhood 100 Most Popular list are wise investments, growth stocks like Amazon (AMZN), Facebook (FB), PayPal (PYPL), and Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) are good bets right now based on their strong past performance and constant innovations.

The number of coronavirus cases in the United States and Europe has risen dramatically in the last few days. In the past six days, 1 million new coronavirus cases were recorded in the United States, taking the total tally to more than 11 million. While this has made the market even more uncertain, companies having strong growth characteristics and a pandemic-ready business model should keep benefiting.

With the fear of a second wave keeping the market sentiment bearish, it is perhaps the right time to buy the dip in these growth stocks. Many such companies are on the Robinhood 100 list, indicating that they are popular.

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN), Facebook, Inc. (FB), PayPal Holdings, Inc. (PYPL), and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD) are four such growth stocks on the Robinhood 100 list that are leaders in their field. 

Amazon.com, Inc. (AMZN)

Based in Seattle, Washington, AMZN is the world’s largest online retailer. It not only dominates the e-commerce domain but also the cloud domain with the help of Amazon Web Services (AWS). The prime day held last month generated nearly $3.5 billion in sales. The company is also expanding in the solar energy domain and has utility-scale solar projects in China, Australia, and the United States. AMZN is on the Robinhood 100 Most Popular list having 94% of the analyst ratings as ‘Buy.’

AMZN’s net sales increased 37.4% year-over-year to $96.1 billion for the third quarter ended September 2020. The company’s sales were boosted with faster deliveries of goods and the commencement of the holiday season. AMZN delivered strong quarter results for AWS also. The net sales from AWS increased 29% year-over-year to $11.6 billion. Net income increased 196.7% year-over-year to $6.3 billion. EPS increased by 192.4% year-over-year to $12.37.

Analysts expect AMZN’s revenue to increase 36.6% for the quarter ending December 2020, 35.4% in 2020, and 18.3% next year. The company’s EPS is expected to grow 51.5% this year, 30.1% next year, and at a rate of 36.4% per annum over the next five years. AMZN’s earnings surprise history looks impressive with the company missing the consensus estimate in just one of the trailing four quarters.

On November 12th, AMZN announced its plans to launch its first fulfillment center in Magnolia, Mississippi which will feature the company’s innovative robotics technology. Ahead of the holiday season, the company’s music arm, Amazon Music announced the launch of original holiday songs from famous singers which will be available on the company’s music platform.
