3 Growth Stocks That Could Be Worth $1 Million in 5 Years

Key Points Dutch Bros could increase its store count sevenfold. Upstart is back to triple-digit sales growth. Lemonade expects EBITDA profits next year. 10 stocks we like better than Dutch Bros › It's growth time again in the stock market. The big tech companies have been reporting strong performance, and the financial stocks are telling a story of economic growth. Many great growth stocks are riding the rise in the market, or generating it, and no matter what happens in the short term, they have incredible long-term prospects. In fact, depending on how much you invest, these stocks can lead to millionaire status even in five years from now. Consider Dutch Bros (NYSE: BROS), Upstart Holdings (NASDAQ: UPST), and Lemonade (NYSE: LMND). 1. Dutch Bros: A new concept in coffee Dutch Bros is a young coffee chain that's demonstrating rapid growth and improving economics. It has a distinctive culture that focuses on fun, fast, and friendly service, and it's leaning into beverage innovation to carve out a niche in a market that's mostly just coffee. Customers are responding, and Dutch Bros has been reporting increasing sales, both overall and comparable. In the 2025 second quarter, revenue increased 28% year over year, and same-shop sales were up 6.1%. Adjusted earnings per share (EPS) were up from $0.19 last year to $0.26 this year. The opportunity in Dutch Bros is in its expansion. Although it just opened its 1,000th store, it envisions having 7,000 stores, with 2,029 stores by 2029. That implies an accelerated opening rate, since it's planning on opening 160 stores this year, and leaves open a long growth runway that should keep revenue increasing for many years. If it can keep up a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 25% during the next five years, keeping the price-to-sales ratio constant, the stock would almost triple. It could be an incredible growth addition to a diversified portfolio, and if you invest enough, it could help you become a millionaire. 2. Upstart: A better lending model Upstart has been a volatile stock, soaring in good times and plunging in challenging times. It's been all about interest rates, which is the case for many financial companies. Upstart, however, comes with the extra risk of being a young company in uncharted territory, which is why the impact on its stock has been more pronounced than on established bank stocks. It uses artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning to evaluate the creditworthiness of borrowers. As it refines its model, gets more experience, and demonstrates growth, there's a lot of future potential. In the second quarter, revenue rose 102% year over year on transaction growth of 159%. It's also back to net profitability on a generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) basis of $5.6 million. Upstart's expansion into newer types of loans is creating important diversification that's helping the platform. It recently started to roll out its first home loan product, and home loan originations increased ninefold from last year in the second quarter. Auto loans grew sixfold, and low-risk super prime loans continue to be a major part of the business. At the current valuation, the stock is looking more stable. Upstart stock trades at a reasonable forward one-year price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio of 25. That gives it more room to expand. If interest rates decline, Upstart could continue reporting rapid growth, even if it falls back into double-digit percentage territory. This isn't a stock for the most risk-averse investor, but an investment in Upstart today could lead to market-beating gains during the next five years. 3. Lemonade: A better insurance model Lemonade is another AI disruptor that's growing fast and winning fans. It makes sense to use AI to price insurance policies, since the business relies on sophisticated algorithms in any case. Lemonade has built its platform from the ground up using digital technology, and the interconnected model is fast and efficient, approving many claims in minutes. That's a clear edge over legacy insurance models, which typically involve independent agents. In-force premium (IFP) increased 29% year over year in the second quarter, and customer count increased 24%. Lemonade targets a younger customer who's looking for their first policy, often renters insurance, and the intention is to impress them and get more of their business as they continue on their insurance journey, creating high lifetime value. It's not profitable yet, but its net loss narrowed from last year in the second quarter, and management expects positive profit on an adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) basis next year. The loss ratio, which measures how much the company pays out in claims as a share of premiums, is decreasing, reaching 67% in the second quarter, or 70% for the trailing 12 months, well within management's target. Lemonade stock is up 275% during the past year (as of Aug. 14), and if it maintains growth while keeping the loss ratio in check and becomes profitable, it should continue to skyrocket. For example, if revenue increases at a compound annual growth rate of 25% during the next five years, revenue will more than triple. If you invest enough today, your investment could soar during the next five years and be a part of a millionaire-maker portfolio. Should you invest $1,000 in Dutch Bros right now?

Better Fintech Stock: Upstart vs. SoFi Technologies

Key Points Upstart's growth is accelerating again as interest rates decline. SoFi will benefit from lower rates and resumed student loan payments. The pricier stock is still the better long-term pick. 10 stocks we like better than Upstart › Upstart (NASDAQ: UPST) and SoFi Technologies (NASDAQ: SOFI) are both growing fintech companies. Upstart's online lending marketplace uses AI to crunch non-traditional data points to approve a wider range of loans than traditional credit-scoring services. SoFi is challenging traditional banks as a one-stop digital shop for myriad financial services. Upstart went public via a traditional IPO at $20 on Dec. 16, 2020, and it now trades at $63. SoFi went public by merging with a special purpose acquisition company (SPAC) on June 1, 2021. Its stock opened at $21.97, but it now trades at roughly $23. Let's see why investors embraced Upstart but shunned SoFi -- and if that trend will continue. Upstart's growth is warming up again Upstart's platform approves loans for banks, credit unions, and auto dealerships. Instead of reviewing traditional data like an applicant's FICO score, credit history, or annual income, it uses its AI algorithms to analyze non-traditional data points -- which can include previous jobs, standardized test scores, and GPA -- to approve a broader range of loans for younger and lower-income applicants with limited credit histories. It fully automates most of those approvals. Upstart's growth can be measured through its originated loans, conversion rate (the ratio of total inquiries leading to approved loans), and contribution margin (the ratio of its fees it retains as revenue). Here's how it fared over the past five years. Metric 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Originated loans growth 40% 338% (5%) (59%) 28% Conversion rate 15% 24% 14% 10% 16.5% Contribution margin 46% 50% 49% 63% 60% Revenue growth 42% 264% (1%) (39%) 24% Data source: Upstart. In 2022 and 2023, Upstart's growth decelerated as soaring rates chilled the market's demand for new loans. Many lenders also cautiously reined in their own offerings. But as Upstart's top-line growth slowed down, its contribution margin improved as it automated more loans and locked in a higher mix of "super prime" borrowers to boost its take rate for each loan. In 2024, its growth accelerated again as interest rates declined. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect its revenue and adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization (EBITDA) to grow at a CAGR of 36% and 245%, respectively. Those are robust growth rates for a stock that trades at just 22 times next year's adjusted EBITDA. SoFi's growth is still cooling off SoFi provides a wide range of loans, insurance policies, estate planning services, credit cards, banking services, and stock trading tools. It obtained a U.S. bank charter in 2022, and it operates as a digital-only direct bank that doesn't run any brick-and-mortar branches. That streamlined approach enabled SoFi to expand at a much faster rate than traditional banks, as seen in its growth in members, total financial products in use, and total revenue over the past four years. Its adjusted EBITDA margin also expanded from 3% in 2021 to 26% in 2024. Metric 2021 2022 2023 2024 Members 2.5 million 5.2 million 7.5 million 10.1 million Products in use 1.9 million 7.9 million 11.1 million 14.7 million Revenue growth 74% 60% 35% 26% Data source: SoFi Technologies. However, the temporary suspension of student loan payments from 2020 to 2023, rising interest rates, and other macro headwinds throttled SoFi's growth. It also faces tougher competition from "neobanks" like Chime and Robinhood Markets, dedicated lending platforms like Upstart, and expanding fintech giants like PayPal. On the bright side, two of those headwinds are dissipating. The freeze on SoFi's student loan payments has ended, and interest rates will likely keep declining. From 2024 to 2027, analysts expect SoFi's revenue and adjusted EBITDA to grow at a CAGR of 25% and 37%, respectively. That bright outlook implies that while SoFi's hypergrowth days might be over, it should continue to grow at an impressive rate as it gains even more members, expands its ecosystem with fresh features, and profits from the expansion of its fintech subsidiary Galileo, which it acquired in 2020 and now serves nearly 160 million accounts on its own. Like Upstart, SoFi's stock also looks cheap relative to its growth potential at 19 times next year's adjusted EBITDA. The winner: Upstart Upstart and SoFi are both promising fintech stocks. But if I had to choose one over the other, I'd buy Upstart because it's growing faster, experiencing accelerating growth (instead of just stabilizing growth), and faces fewer direct competitors. SoFi still has to prove it can maintain its edge against its growing list of competitors. Do the experts think Upstart is a buy right now?

If You'd Invested $1,000 in Palantir Stock 5 Years Ago, Here's How Much You'd Have Today

Key Points Palantir Technologies offers the decision-making software that makes AI data centers worth their cost. Although a handful of companies are in this software space, Palantir is the market leader. While it's unlikely Palantir stock will perform as well again during the coming five years, it's still a stellar growth prospect. 10 stocks we like better than Palantir Technologies › Nvidia's hardware is still the power behind most artificial intelligence (AI) data centers. But hardware is only half the story. Users also need a way to put that computing power to work. That's where software comes in. And while there are several AI-powered decision-making solutions available, the ones from Palantir Technologies (NASDAQ: PLTR) are arguably the best. That's why this stock's performed so well since the AI movement went into high gear about five years ago. Leading the AI industry's growth If you've not kept close tabs on the AI industry's explosive growth, but the name still rings a bell, it might be because the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services asked Palantir for help managing the monumental task of combating the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the distribution of coronavirus vaccines. That's not all the company's tech is capable of, to be clear. Factories, financial firms, logistics outfits, and the military all benefit from its solutions. It was the COVID-19 pandemic, however, that put Palantir on the proverbial map and jump-started its explosive growth. To this end, had you made a mere $1,000 investment in Palantir Technologies stock right after its September 2020 initial public offering, today that position would be worth just a little over $19,000. Tough act to follow, but... That's an unusually big run-up -- even for a game changer like Palantir. But it's a well-deserved advance. Annualized revenue has grown from a little over $1 billion then to roughly $4 billion now. Just don't look for a repeat of this feat over the course of the coming five years. Still, that doesn't mean Palantir shares aren't worth owning here. The AI business is still young, and plenty of organizations don't even yet realize they need this company's tech. In this vein, an outlook from Straits Research suggests the decision-making software market is set to grow at an annualized pace of 16% through 2031. Palantir Technologies is well-positioned to win at least its fair share of this growth. Should you invest $1,000 in Palantir Technologies right now? Before you buy stock in Palantir Technologies, consider this: The Motley Fool Stock Advisor analyst team just identified what they believe are the for investors to buy now… and Palantir Technologies wasn't one of them.
