High-growth stocks that are financially stable are attractive for many reasons. They provide a strong upside to your portfolio, with less likelihood of downside risks compared to less financially robust companies. I would suggest taking a look at my list of companies that compare favourably in all criteria, and consider whether they would add value to your current portfolio.
