Not all high-growth stocks are in the tech sector -- it's best to look more broadly.
Some companies are reporting strong growth despite the challenging environment.
Other companies are feeling the pressure but have strong long-term growth drivers.
10 stocks we like better than Honest ›
Investors are always on the lookout for the next Amazon or Nvidia, a stock you can find before the market catches on and sends it soaring. Today, investors may see the greatest opportunities in artificial intelligence (AI). But Amazon started off as a bookseller before it took over e-commerce, and Nvidia used to be known for gaming technology.
You can find excellent stocks to buy in all categories if you're looking for the right qualities. Here are 10 under-the-radar consumer goods stocks that have incredible growth potential.
The Honest Company (NASDAQ: HNST) makes personal and baby care items with clean ingredients and sustainable practices. It's a small but growing company, with $97 million in revenue in the 2025 first quarter, a 13% increase year over year. It was only the company's third time posting a quarterly profit, and it's well-positioned to begin reporting profitable growth.
Out of the seven Wall Street analysts covering Honest stock, they all think it will rise over the next 12 to 18 months, with the lowest target price 25% higher than today's price.
Stride (NYSE: LRN) is a technology-based learning company that offers different programs for all ages. In today's day and age, there's a huge need for its services, and as the world keeps moving toward digital, it has an edge in this industry. Revenue increased 18% year over year in its fiscal 2025's third quarter (ended March 31) to $613 million, and profits grew to $99 million.
All seven covering analysts anticipate Stride to rise over the next 12 to 18 months, with a median price target of 14%.
Revolve Group (NYSE: RVLV) is an online fashion retailer that has used AI throughout its operations from its beginnings 20 years ago. It uses social media and celebrity influencers to reach its core audience, and its AI algorithms and low physical presence make it easy to meet changing demand and charge full price for most of its merchandise.
Sales increased 10% year over year in the first quarter, with net income up 5%. Analysts are mixed on this one, with a median target price just slightly higher than today -- while the most optimistic share price is 46% higher. Long term, Revolve represents the future of fashion retail.
Nomad (NYSE: NOMD) is a European frozen foods company that's about a decade old, but it owns several brands with long histories and strong brand presence. It sits at the intersection of several growing trends, such as a focus on healthier foods and quicker dinner preparation.
Sales decreased in the most recent quarter, but they have grown at a compound annual rate of 6% over the past 10 years. All seven covering analysts rate Nomad stock a buy, with the lowest target price 40% higher than today's.
Driven (NASDAQ: DRVN) offers automotive services under 12 different brand names. Sales were up 7% in the first quarter, and although comparable sales were up just a drop, it maintained its streak of comps growth for the 19th consecutive quarter.
Management sees a huge growth opportunity and plans to open up to 200 stores in 2025 alone. It's trading at a bargain price, and the average Wall Street price target is a 30% increase over the next 12 to 18 months.
Oddity Tech (NASDAQ: ODD) is a cosmetics and skincare company that sells online and uses AI to determine coloring and skin care needs. Revenue increased 27% year over year in the first quarter, and the company is in launch mode, preparing several new brands for release in the coming years.
Oddity is starting to look expensive after recently jumping, so the average short-term target price on Wall Street is a decline. But the long-term growth drivers are strong.
Urban Outfitters (NASDAQ: URBN) isn't new, but it's getting hotter as its brands resonate with a new target audience of young shoppers, and investors shouldn't overlook it. Revenue increased 11% year over year in its fiscal 2026's first quarter (ended April 30), and earnings per share nearly doubled.
Urban Outfitters' stock is already up 27% this year, but all 15 covering analysts see it rising further.
Shake Shack (NYSE: SHAK) is catching up to its fast-casual peers and reporting phenomenal growth. Sales rose 10.5% year over year in the first quarter, and net income more than doubled. It only has 589 stores, with a long growth runway, but investors seem to have passed it over.
Shake Shack's short-term target price is low since it has soared 42% over the past three months, but the long-term outlook is good.
Academy Sports (NASDAQ: ASO) is a sporting and outdoors retailer, and it's feeling pressure in the short term. However, it has long-term growth drivers in opening new stores and expanding its digital presence. It sees a huge white space opportunity as 80% of the population doesn't live near one of its stores.
The average short-term price target on Wall Street is a 20% increase from today's price.
Chef's Warehouse (NASDAQ: CHEF) is another company that's been operating for a long time but has new relevance. It's a specialty foods distributor that's focused on digital channels and the luxury market. Revenue increased 9% year over year in the first quarter, with earnings per share up from $0.05 last year to $0.25 this year.
Out of seven covering analysts, all think the stock will rise over the next 12 to 18 months by at least 8% and as much as 20%. But this powerhouse has long-term growth drivers that could make it worth buying today.

Sword Health Now Valued At $4 Billion, Announces Expansion Into Mental Health Services

Sword Health announced Tuesday that it had raised $40 million in a recent funding round, giving it a $4 billion valuation. Founded in 2015, the healthcare startup has focused on helping people manage chronic pain at home. Using AI tools, the platform connects users with expert clinicians who then provide patients with tools for digital physical therapy, pelvic health, and overall mobility health. However, the company says this new round of funding will largely go towards developing a mental health arm of its program called Mind. Don't Miss: Maker of the $60,000 foldable home has 3 factory buildings, 600+ houses built, and big plans to solve housing — Peter Thiel turned $1,700 into $5 billion—now accredited investors are eyeing this software company with similar breakout potential. Learn how you can "Today, nearly 1 billion people worldwide live with a mental health condition. Yet care remains fragmented, reactive, and inaccessible," Sword said in the announcement. "Mind redefines mental health care delivery with a proactive, 24/7 model that integrates cutting-edge AI with licensed, Ph.D-level mental health specialists. Together, they provide seamless, contextual, and responsive support any time people need it, not just when they have an appointment." Sword CEO Virgílio Bento told CNBC, "[Mind] really a breakthrough in terms of how we address mental health, and this is only possible because we have AI." Users will be equipped with a wearable device called an M-band, which will measure their environmental and physiological signals so that experts can reach out proactively as needed. The program will also offer access to services like traditional talk therapy. Bento told CNBC that a human is "always involved" in patients care in each of its programs, and that AI is not making any clinical decisions. Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: . For example, if a Sword patient has an anxiety attack, AI will identify it through the wearable and bring it to the attention of a clinician, who can then provide an appropriate care plan. "You have an anxiety issue today, and the way you're going to manage is to talk about it one week from now? That just doesn't work," Bento told CNBC. "Mental health should be always on, where you have a problem now, and you can have immediate help in the moment." According to Bento, Sword Mind already has a waiting list, and is being tested by some of its partners who appreciate it's "personalized approach and convenience." "We believe that it is really the future of how mental health is going to be delivered in the future, by us and by other companies," he told CNBC. "AI plays a very important role, but the use of AI — and I think this is very important — needs to be used in a very smart way." The rest of the cash raised in the funding round, which was led by General Catalyst, will go towards acquisitions, global expansion, and AI development, Sword Health says.

Top economist who previously sounded the alarm on tariffs sees a possible scenario where Trump ‘outsmarted all of us'

Torsten Sløk, chief economist at Apollo Global Management, laid out a potential scenario where President Donald Trump's tariffs are extended long enough to ease economic uncertainty while also providing a significant bump to federal revenue. That comes as the 90-day pause on Trump's 'reciprocal tariffs' is nearing an end. Businesses and consumers remain in limbo over what will happen next with President Donald Trump's tariffs, but a top economist sees a way to leave them in place and still deliver a 'victory for the world.' In a note on Saturday titled 'Has Trump Outsmarted Everyone on Tariffs?', Apollo Global Management Chief Economist Torsten Sløk laid out a scenario that keeps tariffs well below Trump's most aggressive rates long enough to ease uncertainty and avoid the economic harm that comes with it. 'Maybe the strategy is to maintain 30% tariffs on China and 10% tariffs on all other countries and then give all countries 12 months to lower non-tariff barriers and open up their economies to trade,' he speculated. That comes as the 90-day pause on Trump's 'reciprocal tariffs,' which triggered a massive selloff on global markets in April, is nearing an end early next month. The temporary reprieve was meant to give the U.S. and its trade partners time to negotiate deals. But aside from an agreement with the U.K. and another short-term deal with China to step back from prohibitively high tariffs, few others have been announced. Meanwhile, negotiations are ongoing with other top trading partners. Trump administration officials have been saying for weeks that the U.S. is close to reaching deals. On Saturday, Sløk said extending the deadline one year would give other countries and U.S. businesses more time to adjust to a 'new world with permanently higher tariffs.' An extension would also immediately reduce uncertainty, giving a boost to business planning, employment, and financial markets. 'This would seem like a victory for the world and yet would produce $400 billion of annual revenue for US taxpayers,' he added. 'Trade partners will be happy with only 10% tariffs and US tax revenue will go up. Maybe the administration has outsmarted all of us.' Sløk's speculation is notable as he previously sounded the alarm on Trump's tariffs. In April, he warned tariffs have the potential to trigger a recession by this summer. Also in April, before the U.S. and China reached a deal to temporarily halt triple-digit tariffs, he said the trade war between the two countries would pummel American small businesses. More certainty on tariffs would give the Federal Reserve a clearer view on inflation as well. For now, most policymakers are in wait-and-see mode, as tariffs are expected to have stagflationary effects. But a split has emerged. Fed Governor Christopher Waller said Friday that economic data could justify lower interest rates as early as next month, expecting only a one-off impact from tariffs. But San Francisco Fed President Mary Daly also said Friday a rate cut in the fall looks more appropriate, rather than a cut in July. Still, Sløk isn't alone in wondering whether Trump's tariffs may not be as harmful to the economy and financial markets as feared. Chris Harvey, Wells Fargo Securities' head of equity strategy, expects tariffs to settle in the 10%-12% range, low enough to have a minimal impact, and sees the S&P 500 soaring to 7,007, making him Wall Street's biggest bull. He added that it's still necessary to make progress on trade and reach deals with big economies like India, Japan and the EU. That way, markets can focus on next year, rather near-term tariff impacts. 'Then you can start to extrapolate out,' he told CNBC last month. 'Then the market starts looking through things. They start looking through any sort of economic slowdown or weakness, and then we start looking to '26 not at '25.'
