Growth is oxygen. But when it evaporates, the consequences can be extreme - ask anyone who bought Cisco in the Dot-Com Bubble (Nvidia?) or newer investors who lived through the 2020 to 2022 COVID cycle. Deciphering which businesses can sustain their high growth rates is a challenge for even the most seasoned professionals, which is why we started StockStory. On that note, here are two growth stocks with significant upside potential and one that could be down big.

Why Is FROG Not Exciting? Rapid expansion strategy came at the expense of operating profitability Projected 6.6 percentage point decline in its free cash flow margin next year reflects the company’s plans to increase its investments to defend its market position JFrog is trading at $41 per share, or 9.4x forward price-to-sales.
