If until recently, growth stocks were generally recognized favorites in the market, then in today’s conditions of record inflation and a sharp increase in the interest rate of the Fed, now everything is different. For example, investment bank Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) has highlighted a number of fast-growing companies that are forecasting sales growth of 30% or more and whose shares have fallen 58% this year, writes Yahoo.

However, the Goldman analyst was able to discern a few among the falling stocks that it is quite possible to recommend to investors. Ryan Hammond, vice president of US stock strategy at Goldman, noted that although growth stocks are getting cheaper, they do not show a strong decline in value, which means that not all should be avoided, but only those growth companies that “burn cash”, then there are loss-making growth stocks that will be required to enter the financial market at a time when the cost of lending is rising.

Strong positions next year could have 2 stocks next year, according to data platform TipRanks, both of which are rated “strongly buy” and analysts at Goldman see gains of more than 40% each.

1. Credo Technology Group (NASDAQ:CRDO) – As a holding company, it outsources orders to its subsidiaries, which develop new semiconductor chips, produce prototypes, and outsource production to larger factories. Thanks to this production pattern, it has been able to produce the highest quality products: line cards, optical DSP chips, and electrical cables, all of which are vital components of wired network systems.

Credo entered the market in an IPO this year and traded at just $10 a share, but it cut its offer from 25 million shares to 20 million and ended up raising $200 million, after which its shares rose 28%.

The company’s financial results were strong, with earnings per share of 3 cents for the third quarter of fiscal year 2022, 2 cents for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2022, and again 3 cents for the first quarter of fiscal 2023 ending July 30. At the same time, revenue amounted to $46.5 million, which is 24% more than in the previous quarter. The company ended the first fiscal quarter with over $405 million in assets, of which $243.7 million was in cash and cash equivalents.
