Broadcom And 2 Other High Growth Stocks To Watch

Simply Wall St·10/02/2026 21:22:46
Listen to the news

Energy prices are back in focus after G7 countries agreed to release up to 100 million barrels of emergency oil and diesel reserves, reminding investors how quickly global supply shocks can reshape winners and losers. When volatility hits, financially solid businesses with strong earnings growth expectations often draw attention. This article walks through three such high potential stocks from a screened list and explains why they might deserve a closer look now.

The three stocks highlighted below are only a sample, with the full screen surfacing another 286 companies that share similarly strong earnings growth expectations and balance sheet quality that this article does not cover. To see the complete universe and quickly identify which high growth opportunities fit your risk profile, head straight into the Healthy high growth potential screener and analyze the ones that match your own criteria.

Broadcom (AVGO)

Broadcom is a heavyweight in chips and infrastructure software, with its data center and AI focused networking hardware and VMware based private cloud tools aligning neatly with the screener’s focus on earnings growth backed by a solid financial footing.

Broadcom Inc. generates about US$59.4b from Semiconductor Solutions and US$29.7b from Infrastructure Software, blending AI focused data-center hardware with VMware powered private cloud platforms. The business has a market value of roughly US$1.68t.

"Broadcom is generating substantial free cash flow, expanding its custom silicon business, strengthening its position in networking, and integrating software assets that further diversify earnings."

Any shift in a single assumption about long-term AI infrastructure demand may significantly influence how that growth story develops.

That uncertainty is exactly why reading the full narrative for Broadcom helps you see how Broadcom’s cash generation, AI exposure and acquisition record could be accelerating or masking the real risk profile.

Oracle (ORCL)

Oracle is best known for its databases and business software. The Healthy high growth potential angle comes from its cloud SaaS suites and infrastructure, where subscription-heavy Fusion and NetSuite offerings are expected to fuel earnings expansion on top of its long-established enterprise footprint.

Oracle earns about US$62.8b from cloud and software, US$5.8b from services, and US$3.2b from hardware, and the business carries a market value near US$416.2b.

For investors focused on earnings acceleration backed by recurring cloud spending, Oracle offers a very different growth profile to traditional on-premise software giants and that is why it lands in this screen.

"Oracle’s Gen2 AI infrastructure was validated when OpenAI expanded its cloud footprint to include Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), positioning OCI as a key extension of the Microsoft Azure AI platform. The dramatic RPO growth has led Oracle to accelerate its long-term financial targets, repositioning the company as a "hypergrowth company".

What happens to that growth story if even a small shift appears in the balance between heavy AI build-out costs and future cloud cash flows.

That hinge point is exactly why reading the full narrative for Oracle helps you judge whether Oracle’s AI buildout is accelerating durable earnings or masking future pressure.

Palantir Technologies (PLTR)

Palantir Technologies builds software that helps governments and large enterprises stitch together messy data, run AI models on top, and then turn those insights into day to day decisions, earning about US$2.9b from Commercial clients, US$3.2b from Government work, and carrying a roughly US$456.7b market value.

Palantir fits this Healthy high growth potential screen through its Foundry and AI Platform, which turn complex data into recurring software workflows for both governments and corporates. That combination of AI tooling and sticky deployments is where the real intrigue starts.

"The balance sheet tells a different story: the company has zero debt and tons of cash, so that model rewarded it heavily and gave a fair value close to $925."

What happens to that earnings story if a single assumption about long term demand for its AI driven deployments breaks?

If that single broken assumption worries you, read the full narrative for Palantir Technologies to see how Palantir’s cash strength, contracts, and AI rollout could be accelerating or masking future outcomes.
