2 growth reasons that Wall Street might sleep on, but I am not that
Financial analysts are not always the same. The stock market as a whole also makes collective errors quite often. When you see traders and analysts that underestimate the value of fantastic growth stocks, the long -term misses can be great opportunities for you.
On that comment, let's view a few growtholles with high octanies that the Love from Wall Street does not get they deserve. One or both can fit well with your diversified nest-egg portfolio.
The average analyst assessment for Fiverr International(NYSE: FRRR) is a lukewarm “hold”. Indeed, 9% of the company's shares are loan to Bearishest-sellers.
For comparison, the average S&P 500(Snpindex: ^GSPC) The shares have approximately 2.1% of its shares on short traffic loans and a slightly more bullish average recommendation. And Fiverr's stock has underlined the S&P 500 in the last three years. The market index achieved a total return of 57% during the three years that ended on May 22, 2025. Fiverr -investors took a hairstyle of 15% in the same period.
That would be logical if the business growth of Fiverr faded. On the contrary, the annual turnover of the freelance gig vendor increased by 28% in this period, while free cash flow has more than doubled:

The comparison with S&P 500 shares is not exactly a situation with apples-to-apples. Fiverr has never been a member of that elite group, and it is not even eligible for consideration, because the head office is in Israel. But many actual S&P 500 members would sell their cats for financial growth trends such as the graph shows.
Nevertheless, the stock together with minimal analyst support and many negative short-sellers bets are sniffing. Fiverr -shares change hand at only 12.2 times forward profit estimates, or 3 times reversing sales. The share looks incredibly undervalued, which means that these low valuation ratios are weighed against the proven growth nuts of Fiverr.
My own FIVERR companies have fallen by 53% so far, locked back to various smaller purchases in 2021 and 2022. I thought that the shares looked affordable at that time, with impressive growth and a huge target market – “to bring about a revolution in how the world works together.” It is an even more tempting purchase for today's much lower starting price.
Media-streaming technology expert Roku(Nasdaq: Roku) Is another great example of undervalued growth numbers.
The share price of Roku has fallen by 26% in three years, while sales rose by 45% higher. Roku's free cash flow growth cannot keep up with that of Fiverr, but an increase of 66% in three years is still quite impressive.
Now Roku has made intentional effort to maximize revenue and user growth in recent years. The company was a endurance in the inflation crisis of 2022, and kept its prices stable while others increase their subscription and hardware prices. The tactic resulted in a broader financial basis, which Roku prepared for the international expansion strategy that it strives for today.

And Wall Street has never received the memo.
More than 6% of Roku shares are sold briefly today, and the ratings of the analysts are still strongly focused on “hold” than the ratings of Fiverr. My own Roku position (with starting points spread from 2020 to 2024) has fallen by 9%. The discount is slightly smaller in this case, but the risks are also more limited.
Both Roku and Fiverr are on my shortlist with shares to buy today, and I am ready to discuss these opportunities if the wider market takes a sudden decline. As affordable as they look from my point of view, growth gills such as these are usually faster than average when investors are back on ideas with a higher risk.
