In this article, we will be taking a look at 10 stocks that could 10x over the next 10 years.

Every investor wants to believe that the stocks they put their money in will help them rack up some gains in a few years. If they’re lucky, the stocks they chose will show immense gains in about five or 10 years. However, picking the right stocks to make this belief a reality is often a difficult thing to do for most investors, especially those just starting out in the stock market. This article will be compiling the opinions of several credible financial websites on which stocks can potentially become multi-baggers within the next ten years, potentially promising 10x returns to their investors within this time frame, to give such investors a general idea of which sectors and companies to invest in this year.

For starters, investors can benefit from keeping an idea on transformational technologies and areas this year, such as information technology and electric vehicles. At the same time, electric vehicle stocks are also offering investors a nice opportunity as governments and consumers globally become more concerned about the impending climate crisis. Another sector perhaps worth looking at is the cybersecurity sector, as MAI Capital Management’s chief equity strategist Chris Grisanti noted on CNBC’s “The Exchange” on August 30 while talking about CrowdStrike Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:CRWD):

“I kind of like the setup for Crowdstrike here. People wanna own this stock in this type of tech market. Except for AI, cyber security is the hottest area of tech. The second thing Crowdstrike has going for it is expectations are finally low enough, I think, that they’re gonna be easy to clear. They may be realistic or even pessimistic. The metric to look for is net annual recurring revenue, and it’s still supposed to shrink about 15% this quarter. So even a smaller shrinkage, of about 10-12%, which is what I’m expecting, should be seen as good news.”

In big tech and artificial intelligence, most people know about the leading stocks already, and one of them is Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META). Mark Zuckerberg’s communications giant has been doing extremely well this year, falling behind only NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), making it a tempting option for those looking to invest in AI. Here’s what Rob Sechan, the co-founder and CEO of NewEdge Wealth, had to say about the stock this July on CNBC’s “Halftime Report“:

“They continue to execute. They’ve highlighted some of their use cases for AI. Stock’s still not expensive, we got along at about ten times, and it’s trading at about 20 times next year, 23 times current. So I think this is one of those companies that can continue to focus on cost and see their core business re-accelerate, which they are. It should have some more upside relative to the rest of the sector.”

These are merely two examples of stocks that investors can start looking at this year if they’re chasing larger gains for the next decade or so, but there is a large variety of other names to pick and choose from as well, including NIO Inc. (NYSE:NIO) in the electric vehicle space and Snap Inc. (NYSE:SNAP) in the communications or social media space. Considering this, we have compiled a list of some of the best stocks for the next 10 years. It includes some of the best growth stocks that can explode in 10 years in a variety of sectors and industries.

Giverny Capital Asset Management, LLC mentioned Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) in its second-quarter 2023 investor letter:

“I have believed for a while that we’re better served with a lower weight to the tech giants – we own Alphabet (8.1% of our model portfolio at the end of June) and Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ:META) (5.2%) for a 13.3% exposure, or about half the Index’s weight in the giants. And while Alphabet’s 36% return for the first half and Meta’s 138% return were gratefully received, I’m pleased to report that if we strip out that contribution to our overall return, the other 23 stocks we own, constituting 85% of our portfolio (with cash making up the balance), were up 10.2% on a weighted basis.

GCAM owns two of the seven tech mega caps in Alphabet and Meta, and they enjoyed similar rises. As mentioned, Alphabet A&C shares rose 36% while Meta rose 138%. Together, they added 2.38 percentage points to the overall Index return, meaning these seven tech giants cumulatively generated 12.4 percentage points of return, or roughly three-quarters of the Index’s return.

Alphabet and Meta combined sport a $2.25 trillion market cap and between them should generate roughly $120 billion of pretax profit this year. That’s a multiple of 19 times pretax profit, a substantial discount to Microsoft and Apple, and an even larger discount to Amazon, Nvidia and Tesla.”
