Why Investors are investing in Growth Stocks
A growth stock can be defined as a share of a company that has above average revenue and earnings growth rates and has the potential to grow faster than the economy. Growth stock price increases more quickly as compared to other types of stocks; the investor may have to pay more for acquiring each share based on the company’s earnings. If the price of stock increases, the investor can claim that value in the form of capital gain at the time of selling the stock.
Investors are ready to pay more for these type of stocks because of the increasing returns. The level of risk is also more in case of growth stocks. While investing in the growth stocks, one must assess the level of risk with the expectation of capturing exceptional returns.
