You don’t have to trade stocks every day and check your portfolio every hour. Buying and holding long-term stocks with attractive fundamentals can help you beat the S&P 500 and reach your financial goals sooner. Rising revenue and profit margins are the core components of strong fundamentals, and these three growth stocks check both boxes.

Robinhood Markets

Robinhood Markets (HOOD 9.87%) has been one of the biggest winners of the investing boom. Young investors are investing earlier than their predecessors, and many new investors are turning to Robinhood. The company wrapped up the third quarter of 2025 with 26.8 million funded customer accounts after adding 2.5 million new customers in Q3.

The fintech stock has multiple tailwinds, such as high crypto trading activity, predictive markets, and high stock trading volume. Robinhood more than doubled year-over-year revenue and told investors it recorded its highest monthly trading volume in October.

Robinhood is in the middle of a correction right now, likely due to Bitcoin‘s skid to start the year. Crypto-based transactions more than quadrupled year over year in Q3 for Robinhood, and a declining Bitcoin price may turn some people away from crypto trading. This looks like a short-term setback, making Robinhood an attractive buy-the-dip candidate.

Micron Technology

Micron Technology (MU +0.78%) is one of the top companies that is addressing the memory shortage. Artificial intelligence (AI) build-outs require sufficient memory to enable AI chips to perform at optimal levels. The demand for AI memory is so strong that Micron has pivoted away from consumer products.

Micron has fully committed to the AI boom, and that has translated into more than 45% in year-to-date gains. This success continues on Micron’s 360% surge over the past year.

Micron’s 57% year-over-year revenue growth in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026 (ended Nov. 27, 2025) and optimistic Q2 outlook make Micron a valuable addition to many portfolios. Micron’s 13.8 forward P/E ratio makes it a bargain if you compare it to other AI stocks.

Duolingo

Duolingo (DUOL 2.63%) embodies contrarian investing and buying the dip when most people are rushing for the exits. A 24% year-to-date drop and a 63% decline over the past year don’t offer much inspiration for momentum investors.

However, the same edtech company has delivered excellent revenue growth. Revenue increased by 41% year over year in Q3 2025 as the company reached 50 million daily active users. Its daily active user base grew by 36% year over year, indicating that the educational platform is not slowing down.

Duolingo’s paid subscriber base also grew nicely, up by 34% year over year. The company now has 11.5 million users paying for subscription plans. AI worries have weighed heavily on the company, but it continues to perform while boosting profits. It isn’t even just a language learning app anymore, with Duolingo telling investors in its Q3 2025 shareholder letter that chess was its fastest-growing subject.

Duolingo trades at a 24 forward P/E ratio, and it traded at a forward P/E ratio well above 100 just a few months ago. Even though the stock is down, the fundamentals paint a very different picture, suggesting a sustained rally is on the way.
