Goldman picks best high-growth stocks for rising rates in '22
Higher interest rates will be a defining characteristic of the markets next year and many high-quality stocks also have growth profiles that make them sensitive to rate changes, $Goldman Sachs(GS.US$ says.
In Goldman's equity outlook for 2022, Chief U.S. Equity Strategist David Kostin and team look at how investors need to look at what they call "duration" in growth.
Stocks with high revenue projections and low profit or negative margins have "long duration" and are vulnerable to increases in interest rates.
"Growth stocks with high profit margins outperformed unprofitable growth stocks when real rates jumped in 1Q 2021, and profitable stocks should remain resilient if rates rise in 2022," Kostin says.
"Stocks with valuations entirely dependent on future growth are vulnerable to a dramatic drop in price if rates rise sharply or revenue growth expectations are reduced," he says. "This latter risk was exemplified by the sharp underperformance of some notable high growth, low earnings companies following disappointing 3Q 2021 results and lowered forward revenue guidance."
Because interest rates are so low now, high-growth extremely profitable stocks trade at similar valuations to high-growth stocks with low profitability, he adds.
Goldman ran screens for strong revenue growth stocks with high and low margins. Both screens exclude Financials.

ajkZbCYC8Q : MRVL just keeps on ticking (timex) up from low 20's to 75+- nice return!!
tk0TEeeFdX ajkZbCYC8Q: Marvell is great. Matt Murphy has his team are building a tech-juggernaut. Marvell will zoom past $100 in 2022.
NCDEH6DMn7 : I am sticking with my Aristocrats and Blue Chippers with nice profits, low P/Es and EPs. Value Value Value
A1EIIWLU1C NCDEH6DMn7: I agree. I have diversified with small cap growth stock absolutely promising but…with disastrous results!
oXrssHBsXw : MA would be the only I would buy, everything else is 5 star garbage.
Baby u oXrssHBsXw: Cautious about that sector. It seems the market is saying oligopolistic profits are gone and fintch will bite them
